Anybody could go 131-1 fighting guys like Trujillo!!!!!!!!!gilgamesh wrote: ↑09 Dec 2019, 18:18Or the loss to the debuting Eddie Trujillo who would go on to amass a 11-8-2 record, never scoring a KO victory.Ambling Alp II wrote: ↑09 Dec 2019, 11:47 Armstrong also lost to Zivic twice, Arizmendi twice, the legendary Joe Conde, the one and only Richie Fontaine. Love to hear the excuses for these losses.
This was Armstrong's 4th Pro fight by the way. So you'd think the greatest fighter of all time could've managed to whip a guy like that by then, but no.
That being said, I don't think anyone can argue that starting off with losing 4 of your first 5 to then accomplish what Armstrong did is probably the greatest career turnaround in the sports history.
