Plum, what a pity that soooo many sports events have been cancelled or postponed because of this crazy virus..... just like this one
When it does finally happen, I hope that Loma knocks him the fuck out..... stone cold
I like Teofimo's confidence, because in any combat sport, you have to back yourself to do well and he has loads of it, and understandably so at 15-0
He's too arrogant for me though, acting with some kind of bully mentality along with his father towards L oma …...and he also believes that he will finish Loma inside 8 rounds...
Well, good luck with that.... and I genuinely admire his belief in himself.... but to me.... power means absolutely nothing, when you are going up against pure skill, accuracy and footwork.....and that is Loma
There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and to me, Teofimo and his dad are just a bit too vocal towards Loma, sometimes just downright rude......so it's an easy one for me to pick
I absolutely thoroughly enjoy it when the loud mouth or bully gets shut up by the quiet guy just going ahead, doing his own thing
Amazing how things like this remind us of times in or own lives....
I was walking down the school corridor once, and this regular loud mouth big class bully was walking directly behind me, talking openly about me to his 2 other mates walking with him...… I ignored him..... because everyone in our grade knew exactly what he was like,,,,,, a real asshole of a bully, who liked to hurt others...… but I had never had a previous issue with him before....and my ignoring him just seemed to irritate or upset him even more, and he got more vocal....because admittedly, compared to now, I was a small chap compared to him back then, and he just wanted a response from me.... any response, for his friends..... which I refused to give him.... so he started trying to pull me off balance by grabbing my school backpack and trying to pull me backwards, right off my feet to land on my backside..... which he very nearly did with his first unexpected attempt...
Shouting, getting more vocal ….. "Ala Teofimo"…..laughing with his mates, acting the school tough guy.....the usual bully mentality...
I politely asked him not to do that again..... nothing more.... just a polite request
Being the bully that he was and always had been.... he tried to do it again
He woke up from a spinning heel kick, with a very clear broken nose.....no lies.... it is still crystal clear in my memory, as I type this now........ and to be honest, and with no shame at all, I admit that I am actually grinning now, by just typing and relating this story, because I absolutely detest bullies... they are disgusting human beings in my opinion, and I have fortunately never ever been a victim of a bully, because I have never allowed it..... nor have my kids, because I drilled that into them from a very young age.....but sadly I have seen what it can do to people who don't or can't do anything..... and it is horrifying.
His 2 mates that were walking with him did nothing at all but just stare at him, then back at me, with an open mouth, in total shock or awe, or just downright disbelief... I have no idea
I never ever had a single issue with that guy, or any of his many "mates" again, through the whole of high school
Sorry for going off track..... but that is very weird how this brought back that memory for me......but to get back to the point...….. this is exactly how I want Loma to shut Teofimo up …. but with a punch
