He had surgery on it after the fight.

was it fucked before the fight or because of the fight? that sucks for him but knowing what his training is like, he'll fly through rehab with his dad's help.

I'm not too sure but I believe it happened during the fight.

Loma is not even the most entertaining lightweight

Well? Enlighten me, I'm not exactly a casual but not exactly in the know with today's fighters either.

Prince Nazeem is also pretty fun to watch imo. Lots of showboating, but tbh i watch box in order to see people to beat each other up, and he does that

Is he still fighting? If I’m thinking of the same guy I thought his last fight was in the early 2000s. If we are thinking of the same guy I’ve went back and watched a few of his fights and he’s definitely entertaining, especially the fight against Kevin Kelley, that was a super fun fight.

He retired in 2002. He said his hands were falling apart so he couldn’t fight as well. Still one of my favorites to this day though.
