GRJ-Loma is a toss up to me. Kinda feel like I may be rooting for Loma, but went with GRJ due to his pro experience and speed advantage.
I feel the same way. And the bolded is why I'm picking Russell as well.

But I'm not rooting for Loma at all. Truth be told, I'll be kinda tight if he wins. Not because he's a bad fighter or anything like that. I think he's very good and will definitely be a great champ one day.

But for me, I'm a big believer in paying your dues. And Loma hasn't paid any. For all the shyt we give Gary and all the jokes about TBA, at least he's putting in work and paying his dues. Even if he has been fighting suspect competition. Loma has just given title shots, and that's disrespectful to the top contenders who are busting their ass and putting in work to get the opportunities Loma is getting.

I feel what you are saying but to me being in the contention for GOAT amateur is above and beyond paying your dues imo.

Let's say he wins tonight dude makes history and gets a title in his 3rd pro fight while not having 1 jobber on his resume :whew:

That's all well and good. He was a great amateur, no denying that.

But this ain't NXT my dude, this the big leagues. We ok with giving nikkas the Paige treatment :usure:

That's just the way I feel, but hey more power to Loma. Hopefully he becomes a great champ :manny:

Yeah but he isn't a regular old nxt nikka :usure:

If El Chacal would have done the same I wouldn't have minded it either. These are not regular old amateurs breh.
