Wasn't there a guy bragging him up? Im watching him on TV and he's absolutely horrible. Time to go back to $1500 club fights

Isiah Thomas was hyped big time when he turned pro...inactivity made us forget him. Getting a reminder now.

Thomas looks really bad too

I thought the fight was closer than the scorecards indicated but yea, this was my first look at Shimmel and he was pretty bad. Seemed like he had a good jab but didn't use it enough. Half the time he was just bullrushing in, whiffing on a punch or landing something grazing, and then clinching and throwing crappy noogie punches.

Yes his father posts here regularly.His name is Dennis.

But i will defend Jordan this was his worse performance I never saw him look so out of his element.

That might be because this is the first time he'd fought someone even remotely decent.

There are a lot of people bragging up Jordan Shimmel and will continue to do so everyone has an off night and I still think he's the greatest!

People where saying he was the best American cruserweight I saw at least 3 American cruserweights on the same card that maybe better than him.

I disagree if Thomas or Shimmell would have been with that same the result would have no different maybe even more competive. He dominated every round.
