Yeah man it's the same people hating on Big Baby cause he is black, not because he got caught with 73 different strains of steroids in his system. Just trying to hold a brother down as usual.

Originally posted by Tony Trick-Pony View PostI went back and looked again at the Loma-Martinez fight. Yeah, that was not good. Loma shouldn't have done that. I agree. And Davis shouldn't have done it to Fonseca and Lopez shouldn't have done it to Magdaleno. I didn't realize Loma did that. Never seen him do that since though. Canelo's reaction after KOing Khan is how it should be done. Make sure the opponent is okay and then celebrate.
When Loma does stuff like this, posters and media members either don’t see it, don’t remember it, or don’t criticize it. Yet when Teo or others do it the same guys immediately see it and start the criticism and use the actions to make negative character judgements.
It’s not necessarily racism or individuals being racist that causes this to happen but if you can put yourself in the TS and others shoes you should be able to see that when you see this happening it causes you to become angry and frustrated because it appears to be a double standard.

[QUOTE=Nehnenqui;19675396]This article, https://www.boxingscene.com/lopez-im...what-i--138142, which was recently featured on this site starts off with the following:
“TEOFIMO LOPEZ has left a sour taste in the mouths of many by celebrating his explosive victories with backflips and dances in front of his crestfallen opponents.”
Yet I don’t remember these same weirdos that have a problem with Teofimo Lopez’s celebrations having a problem with Lomachenko’s celebrations. I wonder why. No outrage when Lomachenko was doing a backflip in front of Roman Martinez or when he was taunting the overmatched Miguel Marriaga (moving up in weight and coming off of a loss) in the same manner Adrien Broner often taunts his opponents.
I’d love to hear the reasoning why Lopez and others are considered “disrespectful,” “arrogant,” etc., and why these same descriptions aren’t applied to Lomachenko.[/QUOTE. Quit crying about bs
