Boxers who don’t look like boxers

Post by Foggy »

I know you shouldnt judge people at first glance or a book by it cover etc but just looked at Thomas Lamanna profile who fights Lara for the WBA middleweight title this weekend and his face doesn’t make me believe he’s a boxer.

Any others you can think of?

Kostaya Tszyu looked very non threatening at face offs and such like.

Then he got in the ring and stood World champions on their heads one by one.

Kenshiro and Hiroto Kyoguchi, both of them look like kids (Kenshiro looks more childish, Kyoguchi looks more like a geeky lil kid)

Chris Algieri before he fought Manny.
Looked like what he was at the time, a student. And his upper body looked more like a swimmer than a boxer.

I’ve just YouTube’d the fella and looks like he comes to fight, maybe just the one fight I picked but he looked pretty exciting

he/his mom/dad promote pretty much all the fights he wins.....basically he buys wins and then gets beaten up by anyone with the faintest pulse

i dont usually like to outreach sh!t on fighters, but the kid can barely fight and wouldnt beat even a good open regional amateur at his weight (his own am record was like 15-25 or something and he won nothing of note). he gets way too many opportunities because he's connected

Haven’t seen Lomanna before. Certainly looks far from a typical boxer. Must have some level of toughness though?

11/1 for Lamanna to win might stick a couple of quid on just for the sake of it
