Comments on: Nick Lembo and NJACB issue public statement on Sean Salmon, announces replacement http://www.fightopinion.com/2009/09/04/nick-lembo-and-njacb-issue-public-statement-on-sean-salmon/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:47:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: GassedOut http://www.fightopinion.com/2009/09/04/nick-lembo-and-njacb-issue-public-statement-on-sean-salmon/comment-page-1/#comment-67393 GassedOut Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:42:52 +0000 http://www.fightopinion.com/?p=4856#comment-67393 Sean has a lot of things he's going through, and it's unfortunate that he shot himself in the foot here. I really do wish him well. Having said that, maybe Sean shouldn't be fighting at this time. If seen a real lack of killer instinct in him of late, and that's what makes you either finish fights or go until you're stopped. Sean, if you're reading this, know I think well of you...but you have to rethink a few things before you continue with your career. Get yourself and your situation better first, Bro.

Another thing that worked against Salmon is his strange desire to convince people online of his worthiness. Both he and his brother have an active online presence. If he could just shut his e-mouth and work out (focus on fighting and not on convincing anonymous online people that he's so good), maybe he could have gotten somewhere. ^ That's a good queston, Bob. Surely they feel that they have some level of editorial control over posts published on the site. Another question is whether they would give Salmon feedback if they realized that he made a claim that was likely to bring the site a lot of attention but harpoon his own career. Would they sacrifice Salmon for the sake of helping the site grow? ^^ I agree, Roadblock. Another thing that worked against Salmon is his strange desire to convince people online of his worthiness.

He has an excuse for everything, just enough talent to get invited to be beaten up by prospects and less sense than it takes to get out of his own way. Boxing is littered with guys/careers like this. If Salmon didn't have that blog nobody would even know who he is or care. Having basic grammar skills and a computer worked against him in this case. Ironic, because usually for journeymen it's the opposite. He’s a typical journeyman fighter.

I wish him well. At the same time, this suspension is well-deserved. You can't fuck with the integrity of the game, if that's the right term.
