Never have I before, seen a fighter just sit on his stool and virtually say, " This is a fecking exercise in futility." I thought Gary Russell was really something special until he fought Lomo. That was an absolute masterclass in how to nullify "Speed." It's just a shame he had to go up in a weight class he just never had the body for. Let's not forget, he was robbed blindly in that first World title fight. Agree with everything you've said. Everyone said Russell would be too fast, Walters too powerful and not forgetting 'No Mas' Rigondeaux too who also quit on his stool after being completely out boxed. Rigondeaux probably regarded as one of the best Junior Lightweights ever at the time. 4 fights in a row whereby fighters just couldn't live with him. He was just levels above everyone during that period. As for the weight classes, like you said, he just has never had the size for the bigger lightweights, but if he had he'd have eaten them all up for breakfast imo. Quite right too mentioning the first world title fight against Salido when he was continually hit with low blows throughout the fight and then robbed on the scorecards. There aren't many fighters I regret not seeing live or trying to see live during my adulthood but Loma will definitely be one that I should have unless he ends up back in the UK. Just a top level artist at his craft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 13 Moderator Share Posted May 13 I think the cut might come from him rubbing heads with the other fella and having his own cap rubbing against his forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Absolute bellend, but we all know why he did it, and that it will work. Such is the state of boxing nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that the 'normal' laws don't seem to apply in Saudi when the big international events, (boxing, F1, WWE etc) are being staged. John Fury is arguably the biggest c*** in boxing. Up there with the likes of Conor Benn, Ryan Garcia, Jarrel Miller, Gervonta Davis and even his own son. Edit: Forgot to add Josh Taylor to my list of the biggest c**** in boxing.

Yeah, he can headbutt someone half his size minding his own business on camera to sell some PPV’s and there is no punishment at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 That John Fury thing - I dunno who's ever dropped a head or received one, I'm very sceptical, no bruising, your forehead doesn't split like that from a nut. I'm guessing he's cut himself there, none of it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 And also, I think Big John needs to stop smelling the sniffing salts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 It seems to be being reported as “John Fury got into a heated altercation with someone from the Usyk camp” but in fact he just randomly nutted a small lad purely for media coverage to make his millionaire son a bit more money.
