WoW wasn’t expecting this one !
Is no one else going to state the obvious??? Fine! I’ll do it:
“Maybe if he gotta better nickname, he could fight better”.
Agree it makes him look stupid and fake.. He is a fighter not a rapper lol !
Thank you Lucie! I’ll second that.
POS nickname. Worst I’ve heard. Get steppin’
I said it before when I first heard it. Pathetic nickname. He deserved to lose just for that. Shame he didn’t get knocked out like how Sergio Martinez knocked out Paul Williams.
Gucci manny got cracked
“Gucci Manny” is obviously catchy and the main reason you guys know who this bantamweight fighter is. The nickname works and has done its job. And gave you guys something to grab on to whenever he should fall. A Conversation Piece.
Let’s see how he comes back.
Its Boxing, back to the drawing board for Flores.
