Thank you. Sick of people refusing to have any understanding of nuance with Loma on here.

Growing up a Filipino kid in NY, having him and Manny Pacquiao as my idols was something so special man.

Not saying he should fight anymore, but he did draw a WBC welterweight belt holder at 46, let’s not downplay that lol.

He arguably just beat Barrios for a welterweight title at 45 lmao.

this is so sick!!

Yep, one of the best long range fighters ever. So textbook and fundamentally sound.

Might be out of the loop, but why are you happy Kellerman is out? I thought he was an excellent commentator back in the HBO days and is super knowledgeable and passionate about boxing, moreso than I’ve seen him with other sports.

What is so interesting about Golovkin’s stalking and pressure is when he gets you on the ropes, he isn’t afraid to square up which coaches/experts generally advise against. But when you have an iron chin, a wide, stable stance and cement bricks for hands I guess you can forego some of the fundamentals.

I saw GGG vs. Geale live in MSG. From round 1 it looked like a gazelle had been thrown in a cage with a lion, or those videos when a small rodent gets fed to a snake or tarantula. The ring pressure and cutting off was much more visible than on TV, it was almost cruel.

I’m not sure we’ve seen a fighter with that much ahem.. *aura*.. in quite some time. Someone whose offense consists of that much pure intimidation and pressure, possibly David Benavidez.

Cooper won a LAN at 16 as an IGL 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t know why more pros use ESDF. You get an extra build key for your pinky on A that doesn’t suffer from having to sacrifice movement from your ring finger or pointer, and hitting CAPS lock is still super easy.

For me optimal would be Wall/Stairs on Mouse, build on A, build on a thumb key like ZXCV then edit also on a thumb key (CV). Totally uninterrupted movement while building and editing.

His performance in 2024 collectively increased the skill ceiling of the entire competitive scene and even became the blueprint for many players’ playstyles (i.e. “Peterbot syndrome”). It was just total domination end to end.

I would even make the comparison to Steph Curry’s 2016 record-breaking 3PT year. Constant, uber-aggressive offense, playmaking and high-ROI/analytical plays.

Peak does not outweigh longevity or body of work when measuring greatness, especially when you haven’t won yet.

Absolutely, for someone so insanely good at the game he’s in a very strange spot for his career. He’s won as a top IGL and top fragger. He would really benefit from playing with a pure IGL, but whose IGLing does he actually respect enough to step down in trios? It’s a little similar to the spot Khanada where he’s caught in between roles. Will be interesting to see where he ends up for trios.

100%. Fortnite did an excellent job recruiting Lacy and Ronaldo, and Jynxzi having a genuine interest in the game is so cool to see. And on top of that, pretty much every lan has had legendary moments. Really hope this means we can get an NA lan at some point again.

wow this is a sick visualization!! teeny’s IGLing is something else

It’s still peter im ngl, but his status as #1 undisputed has definitely become less definitive as of late. I still believe he’s the best player in the world when he’s on and I would love to see him nab a 7th title.

Awesome video honestly, the pros did a solid job acting.

omfg nicholas walters mentioned #ballknower

awesome data visualization!

Wow, HUGE learning experience for Moses Itauma. Credit to Hrgovic’s chin, how can you even blame Moses for continuing to go for it for 9 rounds, just a perfect storm of a 21-year-old KO artist wanting to put on a show and a diamond chin from an experienced 34-year-old.

Conditioning and gas tank management lesson for the foreseeable future, but I also think Moses would benefit heavily from also learning how to fight off the backfoot/counterpunching. He wouldn’t have to exert so much effort offensively if he would focus more on timing and letting his opponent move into his punches.

LMAO exactly.

This is just insane and I honestly feel really bad for GG that such a small mistake had this crazy of a retaliation online and business-wise. I really hope this doesn’t affect the PGA event, I was honestly looking forward to it and was happy for them when it was announced.

You can have your opinions on their content, but GG has undeniably done a lot to grow the game and were the pioneers of internet golf. Just a shame, all of this.

the overreaction is already more insufferable than the actual ad itself.

tbh idgaf if we go 0-82 lmfao first knicks chip in 50 years, im cool with literally whatever happens probably for the next decade.
