@AdrianReyn79551 Being a defensive fighter is a SKILL a lot of fighters AREN'T CAPABLE OF. So, instead of calling Shakur ( who KEEPS WINNING with this style) BORING, how about figure out a way to beat him? Instead of praising flat footed "pressure fighters" who can't cut the ring.
@_6signxxx The turning point was with the game itself.. high flying dunks & tough d were replaced by shots from the logo, no d/ high scoring to help facilitate the euro-gentrification efforts of league execs & owners, under the guise of "globalizing" the game. Now it's almost unwatchable.
@DanCanobbio Why is your focus on Shakur NOT fighting at 147 (when has he EVER)? Why not the fact that Ryan called out a 135 fighter while in the ring? We ALL no know that fight won't happen anytime soon. Besides, there is PLENTY of work for belt-holder Ryan AT THE WEIGHT.
@DanCanobbio I want to see him against Rolly (again), Teo or Norman (he loses all 3)...Ryan was given a belt tonight, Barrrios was a literal flat footed punching bag. Devin DESTROYS a CLEAN Garcia.
@DAZNBoxing@ringmagazine ...so go from being given a belt against a guy that didn't even fight back to fighting the best technical fighter? Ryan doesn't even beat Teo or Brian Norman...the media has to stop allowing him to do this to stay relevant.
@RTNBA@BleacherReport 1. NBA referees (blatant game manipulation)
2. NBA coaches (failure to create logical & effective defensive schemes)
3. NBA commissioner (valuing profit over product)
The on-court product is just an extension of these things.
