    Teofimo Lopez wants us to forgive mental midgetry but says bad shoulders are imagininary. Hmmmmm.

    Lopez has grown on me a lot. I used to think he's some idiot kid who was nothing but an arrogant puncher, and a twat doing Fortnite dances. But he's grown up mentally and shown he's got far more strings to his bow than just a big punch.

    Fimo and Ennis are the two super talents of the sport moving forward.

    Yes and no. While I do agree with your point and thought his post about Garcia's issues was classy, I feel he's been acting like a diva since he upset Lomachenko. Fact is, he's still a relative nobody and needs to showcase himself a lot more before thinking he s the next Mayweather (box office wise).

    Tank and Haney will talk shit, I have no doubt.

    Having had to deal with the very, very worst consequences of mental health issues this year I'm not going to sit here and say the kid is lying. In fact the default position should always be that they are believed. If genuine then kudos for him being open about it and I hope he can get the help he needs.

    I could be more sympathetic if he hadn't talked all that sh!t when the Pacquiao fight fell through.

    After one of Teofimo's sub par performances he used the "I've been going through some stuff, having a tough time lately" excuse.

    Yeah, he got married and was almost disowned by everyone but his dad because of it. I believe he was going through stuff.

    Teo also still went through and fought Nakatani.

    Let me clarify. I quoted the wrong post from Xplosive. He said that by Garcia admitting to mental issues, guys like Teofimo will smell blood in the water...

    I was reminding people that Lopez has admitted his head wasn't right for a fight in the past. Different circumstances.

    I'm not sophisticated or refined enough to have suffered from mental health issues. Either that or I am so mad I can't tell the difference.

    Weak. I can you are still in mourning for DMZ or BMX or whatever his fucking name was.

    Sorry if this has already been posted.

    It sounds like Ryan Garcia is not happy with Golden Boy either. I think he's talking about Oscar doing an interview where he easily got backed into a corner and admitted to cherry picking Garcia's opponents to protect him. Gaecia was like "WTF?"

    He was recuperating in Hawaii for about 10 days or so.

    Of course GBP is picking his opponents. In fact, the only reason that GBP should not be picking them is because that is his promoter. His fucking manager should be picking them instead.
    Everybody- EVERYBODY- picks their opponents, if there is an upside to the fighter and if their manager has any influence at all.
    Now, Ryan Garcia is already a moneymaker and has potential to be an absolute cash cow. But he has flaws and weaknesses that need to be corrected and that takes time. So right now he needs selective matchmaking. His biggest enemies are a haphazard selection of opponents and his own ego.
    When you are looking at opponents, you look for guys that will make you look good and, if you can sell them, bonus points. But, in retrospect, looking good will sell them for you. That's how it works these days. If Ryan Garcia thinks that he is unbeatable and ready for the world, h ex will cause animosity in the people that are currently looking out for him and they will set him up to get beat.

    I think Garcia was upset about the way Oscar said it. I can't find the interview and don't remember who it was (a youtuber for sure) asking questions. But the interviewer had an agenda to get Oscar to admit to picking easy opponents for Garcia. And Oscar (who was probably six drinks into the day) wilted pretty easily and said it.

    Has mental problems then signs up to make a documentary of his life. This is how Generation Z social media fighters are going to be from now on. Get used to it.

    Yup. Anybody in this country 25 & under has pretty much been raised on social media.
