In b4 the new book meme that lists all the excuses.

So Tom is going to vacate right guys

Right

I guess he hasn't given up on it. but the clock is ticking

How does dirty gane take out the best hw with cheating and then gets his 8th shot at the title. Gane should never get a shot until tom is back how the fuck does a guy eye gouge his way into this.

 

[Harlekin]

His eyes are fine - he will fight
His eyes are done - he needs money to retire and will fight.

A HW title fight brings 7 figures and another million in opportunities

NGL I've been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but that list of things he's having trouble with is so obviously put together by someone thinking about lawsuits.

Can't play with his kids, drive, quality of life stuff. Then, can't shake a hand, and has balance and coordination issues, so clearly can't dodge a punch.

Maybe they're not thinking suits and he instead has a publicist that was an attorney, either way it's written very Saul Goodmanish.

From 4 days ago on Tom's monetized Youtube channel let me present to everybody Mr Tom "I can't even see to shake hands":

And yes, he starts the video saying it's 2026 so it's not some old video just uploaded now.

Strip this lying clown already.

I had lasik and my vision was trashed for a week after, perfect now.

Hopefully Tom's gets better with time also.

It must suck for someone to cheat and do an illegal move on you and now you might be blinded for life.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Gane needs to be prosecuted and banned from international travel
Too dangerous and unpredictable

Except Tom was already wearing glasses since at least 2021. He's always had poor eye sight that LASIK could fix.

Shame on him for trying to connect getting elective LASIK to his eye poke 4 months ago.

This is clearly a depressed man with lack of coordination. He almost missed the can. Poor Tom, must be hard.

That ai article is fucking cancer.

That big black spot in his vision is probably Gane and he keeps hoping it will go away before he comes back.

 

[flektarn]

I genuinely don't think he's faking it. Maybe he's exaggerating the severity a little bit, but if his vision isn't 100% then that's a problem. I think he just got really unlucky.

And whether it's intentional or not, Gane was at bare minimum careless and reckless and should be punished. IMO we should get Pereira vs Volkov for the vacant HW title if Tom vacates, and Gane should be forced to win another 1-2 fights to earn another title shot.

Poatan vs Volkov makes the most sense. Bum ass Gane got a TS off of a blatant robbery over the guy and then fumbles it by fouling, as he always does. fuck him. doesn't deserve to get rewarded for fouling. Sucks for Aspinall but he's injured. Jiri and Hill both gave up the belt pretty quick when it wasn't looking good with their injuries.

I've had an eye poke once and it took about 1,5 years before I lost double vision and my eye stopped constantly sticking to my eyelid (that sucks about as bad as you think). Even now, 4 years later, my eye is still sensitive when I rub it. And what happend to Tom was much nastier and one of the worst I've ever seen.

The amount of idiotic statements I've read on the Dog about this topic was also the worst I've ever seen

So what was the medical condition you were diagnosed with and is it remotely similar to Tom's eyes being medically declared physically fine but only a potential Brown's Syndrome?

Who cares? HW is shit with or without him.

 

[fendertach]

You guys need to put some respect on Aspinalls name.. He might not have the mental fortitude to be a UFC champ but he is the future Misfits boxing HW champ... KSI vs Aspinall will be bigger than Mayweather x Pacquiao

Yessir and then Khamzat vs Jiri for the vacant LHW title, let's go!

 

[CC27]

def worse than people thought. Everyone is just used to guys getting poked, they continue on and its not a big deal.

Clearly this one is a big deal and his vision is really messed up so yeah all the talk from people about he should have fought, he was faking, Dana questioning only he knows if he could have continued looks bad now.

Good chance he doesnt fight this year so an interim fight with Alex/Gane at the white house seems like a must. You evaluate in fall whether tom vacates or not.

Y'all that are mad at Tom instead of Gane for shoving his dirty ass fingers in Tom's eyes are, as the kids say, retard maxing.
