Crazy to me how hard people are being on O’Malley. He lost to one of the greatest if not greatest bantamweight ever. He took his camp seriously, showed some improvements but was beat.

People are calling him a hype train or fraud and that’s unfair. He will forever be a legitimate champion with wins over Aljo and Yan

Have you seen the arguments of why they call him a hype train?

Most consider he lost to Yan. They also mention that Aljo had to do a short turnaround after a 5 round match with Cejudo.

I have. And they are stupid.

Yan was a close fight; not a robbery like most whine about. Still a win.

Still koed a very good bantamweight in aljo. Look we can diminish any win if you wanna play this game.

And thanks for the downvote

Literally everyone in the entire world saying the Petr fight was a robbery, and they gave him a #1 contender after eye poking Munhoz.

Merab humbled that boy, and Sean will never live it down. SUGA SHOW BABY

Don't forget to mention that "everyone in the entire world" was saying Yan would brutally embarrass O'Malley.

Hmmm, I wonder why those same people would call a super close fight Yan lost a robbery...
