Ryan Garcia = new American hope to be brutally knocked out

[TMLT87]

Ali won though. Lewis isn't even from your glass jawed bum factory. And Joshua still lost by stoppage to a fat Mexican-American lol. We kicked your ass in the 1700's and still do today. I guess inbreeding doesn't help make good fighters...

Most of the ass kickers in the 1700s were essentially British migrants themselves, you do realize that...right? most modern day Americans are migrants that came much later and had nothing to do with it. Brits are more likely to have relatives who kicked British ass on the American side back then than most Americans.

Its also quite amusing talking about kicking British ass in the 1700s at the same time as talking about how great American boxers are, like its the same group of people involved in both situations. Sounds like you wanna have your cake and eat it bro.

Really seems to have taken a big step forward under the Reynosos...that check hook is a really good shot

His reflexes are sharp, i don't think this technique can be planned, we saw so little of it, i want to see him against Linares to see how he react to punches, Linares isn't great but is really good, he would hold some rounds and punch him, how Mike Tyson said Everybody have a game plan till they get punched in the mouth, i wanna see what happens if this goes down.

Mike Tyson was the best example of his own proverb...but that’s how it works. I saw Linares fight in person in a dusty bull ring in cancun city. He was in a real war until he won with a devastating KO. He’s from Venezuela and fights out of Japan, definitely not typical. U never know what ur gonna get with Linares. I know he dropped Loma and that will prolly be the highlight of his career, but he wasent actually close to winning that fight. Got stopped bad with a body shot if u let the footage roll. Don’t get me wrong, I do like that Ry is fighting him but part of that is me just being happy that it’s not a lesser opponent. I’d like him to get sum experience and rounds in, especially since he just flattened his last opponent. But if this guy is going to be a superstar I hope there’s no struggle with Linares at all.

Linares is definitely an up and down fighter...I can't really figure out too much with him really.

I do think he was right in that fight with Loma though before the stoppage...I had it about even I believe...I think 5 rounds to 4 for Loma with Linares tying him due to the KD

KO waiting to happen is more like it.

I remember him getting stopped in the first round vs Salgado, which is hard to shake. Still I didn’t even see him lose to Cano to be honest. I remember being impressed that Linares was doing better than expected vs Loma. But a close round can sometimes look more impressive for a big underdog than the guy that is highly favoured. It was a competitive fight, but it was Loma with the stoppage win, and I don’t think that was too surprising to anyone watching. Loma got dropped on his butt in a bit of a flash if I remember, he then came back with sum throttle and Linares got put down for good. I saw Loma lose to Salido and that will always be hard to forget regardless. I like Loma the more I see him in tougher fights, maybe even just as a boxing fan. I’m surprised Teofimo and him are gonna fight ( if it happens ) because rarely do young guys get pitted against the best by their management. I hope Teofimo doesn’t get embarrassed, because that could stymie more matchups like this in the future.

Man Loma was so so great at 130...I just have seen him be more mortal at 135...I kind of saw that KD vs Linares coming...it to me was a very tense fight...and after that KD it's almost like Loma relaxed a bit and got to work...great finish and comeback from him.

I agree that sometimes the underdog can get the rounds or can get more credit than deserved...I didn't have a big rooting interest in that fight with Loma/Linares so was just watching casually and just saw a very competitive fight.

Yeah Lopez Loma should be good! Lopez's speed/size/athleticism/power could make that a bit like Wilder-Fury for little guys!! lol

Right. I remember watching classic fights in my dads garage as a kid and hearing “may the best man win.” I never understood why that had to be said. It always felt ominous. I understand it now. I’d never want even my favourite fighter (Erik Morales) to get a win I didn’t think he deserved. I understand business wise how young prospects don’t often fight each other on the way up, or young lions not being put against the champs. So I love fights that happen that I’m not expecting. I hope that if Loma vs Teofimo is spectacular and competitive that it causes rematches instead of the winner happy to be done with it.
Wilder is the skinny HW with the ultimate eraser, and Fury is the slovenly HW who is slick as heck and has cardio for days. Go figure. My brother predicted Fury in the first fight but said he’d have to get off the mat to do it. Sometimes I just hope it doesn’t end in a debacle.

On the bold...yeah I just hate that some fights end in controversy...though even on here we tend to disagree on which fights were close and could go either way, and which were robberies.

I have been leaning towards Wilder in the rematch...but now I think I'm actually leaning Fury...he should benefit from the 12 rounds they fought more than Wilder I think...and should be in better shape for this one...but maybe not as motivated too? Hard to call it really.

I felt the first fight was close as Wilder kept himself in it with those 2 KDs...but as you said, hopefully we get a clear winner Saturday night with little controversy.
