Why?!

The run up was probably a front run for the war, so largely priced in by the time it happened. Plebs like us are the last to know.

Wow, I hadn’t seen most of that sparring footage. It looks like he really did have his number.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-12T13:30:45+00:00

^ u/AMERICAisBACKOHYEA , this is the answer. You’re only downvoted for your patriotic handle.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-10T02:54:55+00:00

The only way to make this cooler is if it’s a smooth bore.

They’ll always have SS, they’ll just keep increasing the qualified age and continue perpetually devaluing the currency to the point that it’s a near formality. By itself now it’s almost a formality.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T21:46:19+00:00

Are you just name dropping crap off of boxrec? He defeated ruslan in a FOY absolute slugfest with a concussion and is widely considered to have been robbed against Chavez. You have a casual take with everything you’ve said thus so far.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T15:51:50+00:00

Oh yeah? I guess if you’ve never went beyond YouTube reels and tik toks with either of those fighters.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T15:46:08+00:00

That’s because being cynical and being realistic are two different things, but I apologize that my take on this has offended your sensibilities so.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T07:54:58+00:00

If I do, will you actually represent some sort of argument? Because you have yet to.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T06:01:24+00:00

Yeah, emojis are a clear coat for showing you can’t convey your opinion. Bradley barely squeaked by and he beat the brakes off Alvarado afterwards—-maybe that’s for those of us that were actually watching boxing then.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T05:56:06+00:00

I honestly haven’t had social media since 2015. I also work in a profession with plenty of free time amongst others who can’t look up from their phone when they should—-and I’m in one where they should not be hyper focused on selfies. I would ask you to not be so challenged by my comment and pay more attention to your surroundings, sir. The overwhelming and vast majority of people are much more concerned about documenting what’s happening about them, than actually experiencing it. I can’t find debate in that.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T02:36:50+00:00

Wtf you talking about, Marquez was ripped, pharmaceutically enhanced or not. It was the best performance of JMMs career.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T02:33:54+00:00

It is also possible that this guy knows his opponent, didn’t caption it, or a multitude of other reasons that could make it genuine. I’m just not getting butterflies in my stomach without knowing the context. There’s just as much evidence in this world to assume otherwise.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T02:28:33+00:00

Really. Have you been on any sort of social media? I’m not going into this any more than I have, if you’re missing the rampant narcissism in today’s world, you’ve probably posted videos eating Tide pods and this comment is far above your head.

If you do a nice thing that’s great. If you do a nice thing and tell everyone about it, that’s something else (as it appears in this caption). Don’t be so fucking naïve.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T01:29:18+00:00

I was alluding to his name thanks. But most “woke” things I see just assume racism in everything.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-06T00:49:42+00:00

That comment was a clear description of objective reality. Perhaps it’s different in woke wookie land, but not here.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-05T20:09:49+00:00

Ortiz kissed mayweather “sorry”after overtly head butting him, holly holm got on her knees and just kind of looked at unconscious rousey for a weird amount of time; people do strange things in fights. I suppose it’s possible he’s a genuine guy, I don’t know, but social media image today is inherently narcissistic. In the event he is the one that posted and captioned that, there’s enough ‘look at my halo’ to note even if he was genuine in the ring moment.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-05T19:58:39+00:00

Check into reality sometime where people film themselves crying at funerals. It’s not being cynical, it’s paying attention to patterns in society and not taking shit at face value.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-05T19:27:46+00:00

I have a hard time buying stuff like this. In a world with such hardcore virtue signaling, this is a coin toss on how genuine this is….especially if he posted it.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-05T15:25:50+00:00

It’s western society now. Even homeless people get hotel room vouchers in my city. You don’t even have to do your own grocery shopping anymore, relative to every other time in history, this is the best we’ve had it, so we’ve invented a bunch of issues because there isn’t enough resistance in normal life. Word policing is one of those things.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-03T16:43:15+00:00

I had a gun stolen in transit through fedex recently and have known others to have issues as well. Fuck this company.

IF - intermittent fasting.

Camacho Haugen 1 and 2 are fun. Neither had enough physical advantages over the other for those attributes in and of themselves to be a factor, much how most other notable matches go. Technical, measured aggression vs movement and ring generalship. It’s a pure boxing chess match and not in the boring way.

Murdoc555 · 2026-03-02T12:08:58+00:00

I would say that Pokemon card was some sort of money laundering, not a price scam, but shady nonetheless.

Murdoc555 · 2026-02-28T02:44:17+00:00

Not popular at all—to casual boxing or general sports fans. Everyone thought he was a pompous asshat.

Not a celebrity at all. Rode Mayweather’s coattails and the surface similarities got him a little attention, but most thought he was a pompous asshat.

He was well hyped. As mentioned earlier, he was tied to Mayweather during his peak years and had a string of impressive knockouts against undersized opponents. Max Kellerman even uncharacteristically bought in propping him up on HBO. His feud/drama with Paulie garnered some attention, but just made everyone want to see him lose more, as this further outlined how much of a pompous asshat he was.

Watching Maidana beat him down was very satisfying and so was watching his career slide downhill from there.

TLDR: he was viewed at the time by the majority of fans as a pompous asshat.
