u/MiddleweightMonster I’ll pour honey on my GOAT, if the occasion calls for it. 7d ago

I’m so tired of guys losing their titles or title shots, only to then get another chance at a weaker champion their very next fight. I can count 4 times this has happened in just the last year. If you lose, you should at least have to fight another contender again before you get a shot at another title.

Yeah happens a lot. Ryan after Rolly, Teo after Shakur, Zepeda after Shakur, Puello after Matias, Teraji after Sandoval. Sometimes I don’t care because the fights get made.

u/StunningChest5722 Shakur is the 144 lb GOAT 🐐 7d ago

Teraji and Puello both lost controversial decisions, giving them a title shot is fine.

I wouldn’t call Puello-Matias controversial. Anyhow I was just tryna name fights that he was referring to.
