Thread: What Do You Think About Tremendous Travis Simms??

Tremendous travis Simms takes on Joachim Alcine this saturdat night at the Arena at Harbor yard in Bridgeport CT. What Dou think about the fight and the future of Travis Simms?

He looked slick against Rivera but age is not on his side. Still 154 lb is hardly a stacked division so he has to be counted as one of the best junior middles in the world.

I voted "Another overrated champion."

I'm not sure if he is overrated. I don't hear folks clamoring on about him.

In my eyes Simms is someone who may or may not hang on to the belt depending on whom he fights rather than his skill set.

I'm guessing you haven't seen him fight Gorilla?

I have.


I just don't see anything "tremendous" about him. Of course, I'm a Kid Diamond fan so what do I know.

HE fough a great fight against Rivera he did kick his ass

Fair enough. He doesn't do anything overly special, but he has above average power, good speed, and very good technique(especially defense/counter punching) also to boot he is a southpaw.

I also like Kid Diamond as well.

I think he's good, not great but definitely solid.

He might get into some trouble if he fights a guy that stays back and makes him press the fight, but he's very tough when you come forward, and let him counter.

Simms is a rare talent but he's waited until the age of 36 to make noise, if he wants to do something big he needs to do it now

He is a sleeper champion. Not a lot of attention in the press. But a quality fighter worthy of holding a title

Ill tell you after the Alcine fight Rivera is a good fighter and a great guy but Alcine is hungry and undefeated against some good fighters, good but not great, but Simms hasnt beaten any great fighters either and you cant compare Alcine to Rivera because they are completely different sylistically.

Who's left for Simms to fight at 154?


Spinks, this would be a competitive fight. Spinks is faster, but Simms is no slouch in the speed department
and has more power. SPINKS SD

ODLH, no chance the Golden Boy comes back for a fight that has this risk without the financial incentive
NEVER HAPPENS

Sechew Powell, As long as Simms avoids Powell's wild swinging opening rounds, he could skate to a comfortable decision
Simms UD

Sergiy Dzinziruk, He's in the same boat as Simms in the prior competition category, hard to say, honestly haven't seen
him fight, can't make a decision.

IF I was Simms I would gun for unification, Dzindiruk or Spinks win or lose it would be right there on top of the division.
I agree with the statement that Simms has to act NOW, he needs to stay very busy

I'd love to see Simms Spinks but as I now NOTHING about Alcine,so may be that is looking too far ahead. Simms is a sound fighter,he looked awesome v Rivera but he had the style to beat him. Other than that fight,I've only seen 1 other fight of his and again,he does not seem spectacular in any area but very good in almost every area.

Mayweather is the only one I would feel confident beating Simms, and thats because of his speed and he does what Simms does better. I like Simms against ODLH, SPinks would be close, POwell, haven't seen Dzinziruk.

Simms is a really good technical fighter with a good physical arsenal to boot. He reminds a lot of TOney who wasn't just technically proficient, but also a good athlete.

Take out Mayweather & Simms is easily the best fighter @ 154. I'd love to see him fight Spinks or Karmarzin next as age isn't on his side so he needs to make the big fights!
