I wouldnt exactly call it shocking, it was basically a 50/50 fight imo.

not shocking at all. farmer is not good and has never beaten a top 10 opponent. shocking people fell for the hype

farmer a good fighter but not great, achieved champ status but not one opponent shows he can hang with the top guys. diaz last two fight showed he can bite down and get it done. the guy was relentless and wasnt going to take an L last night. he was just not having it. great win.

Blinking is what happened with Gerald McClellan during sparring and during the fight with Nigel Benn where he was incapacitated.

Farmer likely got hurt bad in sparring, which would explain him being so fragile on fight night with the hand and the blinking and whatnot. The headbutt probably set stuff off - they should really examine him good before putting him back to work.

It sounds to me like you making excuses, since a lot of you guys here said Farmer would school JoJo Diaz but the exact opposite happened so now you making excuses for “Former”, I mean Farmer.

Horrible cut for Diaz, he never let Farmer settle and had the better of the exchanges.

Exactly I gave JoJo 10 out of the twelve rounds, there was nothing absolutely nothing that Tevin “Former” do better than Diaz, and the only advantage that I thought Former had was speed over JoJo but even at that JoJo was clearly superior.

Hell yeah happy Jo Jo got the win. IDK what Farmer was doing, but that isn't how I thought he'd fight this one at all....the style of the fight was good for Diaz right away, Farmer looked very lethargic from the jump, just stood there basically.

Almost thought the cut would derail Diaz, but then it looked like he would have been up after 4 rounds anyway, he really never looked back. Happy for him
