Lorissa Rivas

[JazMerkin]

I have to say thanks to TM because I plan to make Lorissa Rivas the first female boxer whose career I actually follow. Unlike others on here I actually quite like TM, but man lets face it when its you up against Roger Mayweather, there really is no comparisom regarding trainers. I mean you've trained Kid Thunder, he's trained arguably the best p4p boxer of the past 25 years. Actually I wouldn't mind seein Floyd come back to take on the Kid

But on a real TM, it sounds like Rivas is a young girl is being built towards somethin', whilst your wife is getting on & should probably hang it up. Unlike others I can't criticize you bein a trainer because I haven't seen you in action (& the reason he doesn't handle corner as he has said himself is because he doesn't handle them well), so keep doin what you want. & honestly what do you expect him to say about his wife's performance, seriously, he aint gonna go 'Leslie's a joke, we're done professionally'. Whilst this shit is funny, it is startin to take a bit of an ICB turn, like people have decided to run TM off the site now. Which I have a major problem with, because at the least we should run SaddoBoxer off first!

[Fenster]

No one is picking on TM or trying to run him off the site

He is 40 not 14. He doesn't give a fuck what anyone says. He's right in his own mind and nothing will change it.

If you act like Eddie Futch/Don King without backing it up and answer every question with "you don't know the buis" you're gonna get called on it. Simple as.

Hey Jaz, I agree with you on this as well mate, I like Trainer Monkey too, he's a nice guy, a good laugh and nothing wrong with being eccentric.

Regarding his fighters stable though, really, he needs to give it up. Neither Kid Thunder or his wife should be getting into a professional boxing ring, they simply arn't competitive at that level.

But there is no shame in that, if I stepped into a boxing ring with my diseased lungs, sloth like reflexes, frail bones and timid heart I'd do worse than both of them for sure, I'd never hear the bell for round two, but guess what, that is a large part of the reason for why I chosen NOT to take up professional boxing.

I mean if you box becuase you love it and want to improve, then maybe take up amatuer boxing. At least with only 4 x 2 min rounds, headguards, standing counts etc you are unilikey to get badly hurt, certainly I've never heard of anyone killed or seriously injured in amatuer boxing, but to have no boxing experience and then to turn PROFESSIONAL is just absolutely fucking nuts.

You wouldn't expect to be able to compete professionally in any other sport without previous experience so why would you assume you could in the toughest sport of all.

It's just ridiculous, can you imagine some guy who like to play on the pitch and putt at the weekend with his kids deciding he's good enough to enter one of the Golf Majors, how would he do realistically?

Or maybe someone who goes karting regularly suddenly being put behind the wheel of a Formula One car and lining up at the back of the grid for the Monaco Grand Prix.

It's just absurd to think these people could compete, the golfer would just humiliate himself on telly and the go kartist would likely get himself killed.


Nobody is saying TM, his wife or Thunder are failures as human beings because they arn't cut out for pro boxing, probably 90% of those of us on this site would do no better.

The difference is we have the sense to realise that we are unlikely to be able to stick on a pair of boxing gloves, step into a boxing ring and work our up to being a world champ, unless maybe it's on the Nintendo Wii.

Yeah, I agree with a lot of that, but as I haven't actually seen him train or know anything about his other fighters, I'm not gonna pass judgement on that, at the end of the day its his job, and I think at least he puts himself out there in a way very few of us on here do, so I give him props for that, but yeah I definitely agree, like I said above, his wife needs to retire, she's too old & gettin beaten down to set up better, younger fighters' careers, and that's not really a position to be in. Kid Thunder I'd heard about before I even joined this site, & to be honest with just 2 wins in 17 for his health he should give it up. I can understand wanting to carry on, but its no doubt guys like him who end up with pugilistic dementia & they don't get any interviews on TV for people to feel bad for them.

& Fenster, I can understand the bloodlust is quite high at the moment, but I would rather you had paid attention to the 2nd part of that bit, where I try & initiate a SaddoBoxer witchhunt as that was MY agenda

Thing is, in other sports, you have to "qualify" to be on a pro level. In racing you have to make the race. In golf, chances are that you golfed your whole life throughout school and someone saw your talent and took you to the next level.

In boxing, it seems like anyone can turn pro. Which is why Kid thunder actually has wins on his record. Looking at him, to think that he ACTUALLY beat two other fighters should be even scarier than his 14 losses or however many there are.

I just don't understand when kid thunder says he has love for the sport, yadda yadda, yet TM told us he barely trained and ate donuts. That's a lot of love and determination to succeed. I loved the sport of baseball throughout my whole life, which is why i played 11 of 12 months a year. I didn't talk about it on a message board, or make youtube videos of how my fastball reaches 90mph (it doesn't.. just an example ).

"In boxing, it seems like anyone can turn pro". It seems to be easier to do in the US than in the UK.

Actually it's even much tougher than that. In the UK at least in order to become a golf professional you actually have to take exams and do courses in addition to having obvious golfing talent.

It's basically a three year degree course.

It seems that boxing has the lowest entry requirements of any pro sport, which is bizarre considering its also possibly the most dangerous.

Jaz.

Bilbo. What would qualify you to punch someone in the face?

[OumaFan]

trying to run off TM is the worst idea ever, if TM leaves there's basically just the arcade and the calendar.

That's intense.. I went to a high school with a number of current pro athletes. Without mentioning any names (but to prove i am not pulling an "ICB" i will PM you their names if you'd like ), I was in class with a few and lets just say they wouldn't pass many courses.. If it wasn't for scholarships and help from teachers (basically the fact that the teachers knew they were really good athletes and wouldn't hurt them academically to stop them from playing) they wouldn't get too far.

In boxing there should be some sort of criteria. If you have a decent amature record, then you're allowed to turn pro. If you didn't fight as an amature, considering there are a number of above average pros who haven't, then you have to fight someone with a commision representative, or something equal to that, present. I think that would at least be good for a start.

Now, cue the "this is taking boxing away from the middle class.. the people who have love for the sport BLAH BLAH FUCKING BLAH"..

This thread is hilarious, good stuff all around. Just in response to that end bit though, I'd say it's anything but bizzare when you think about it. It is BECAUSE boxing is so dangerous that the entry requirements are so low, you need to have that heirarchy in order for fighters to progress. In any other sport getting beat by vastly more experienced athletes is how you improve, you could lose every competitive round of golf for years upon years before you became good enough to win them. Try feeding some talented prospect to a consumate pro, it only takes one punch to end his career.

[amat]

what a thread, TM really was a crazy dude.

[Nameless]

what a thread, TM really was a crazy dude.

He didn't change much, really, he just stopped to write in the forums where peoples pinpointed his non-sense. Now he claims that he runs a brewery... which truth is: He's home making beer home in some plastic vat and drink it/make his friends to taste it, no more than 50-75 pints a month in likely 2 batches but to him, it's legit to claim the running of a brewery. At least, he's not putting nobody's life in danger by claiming he's a professional at something.
