    Perry is a fan favourite, he will always be exciting. He won’t be a nobody any time soon, especially after losing to a guy like Yancy.

    Is Artem Lobov a nobody?

    He is because that’s what happens when you don’t win fights. People want to watch him but in respect of the division he’s a nobody, Perry is headed there.

    Lobov doesn’t draw me. Perry is much better and much more exciting.

    Lobov is 14-14... Perry is 11-3. Quite the difference.

    Although Lobov isn’t a draw to me, he is a draw to some and that’s why he fights in relatively high profile fights despite his record. That means he isn’t a nobody. It means Mike Perry is far from being a nobody, nevermind one loss away.

    He’s on two decision losses, one to someone who’s tearing through the division. I think you’re being a little dramatic.

    A nobody in terms of the Title, what’s dramatic about the fact the guy he wanted (and Till reciprocated) now being a fight away from it whilst Perry is now years away?

    You just said Perry is a fight away from being a nobody. You didn’t say anything about the title. That’s dramatic. 90% of the roster are nobody’s in terms of the title, doesn’t make them nobody’s.

    If Perry beats Yancy and Thompson beats Till they will probably be fighting.

    A nobody in the Title picture, apologies for misleading you I thought that would have been obvious :56:

    Well no, when you call someone a nobody there’s only one way to take it.

    We all * it sometimes, don’t worry.

    Think Holloway said the other day he expects to fight Ortega or someone on the 226 card as well.

    Going to be stacked as *.

    Looked good against Bochniak, him vs Yair would capture my attention for sure.

    Apparently he broke his hand in the warm up too, so he won that fight against Bochniak with one hand.
