    Sosa could win this. Sosa didn't really quit the way walters did. Loma destroyed Walters completely mentally. Sosa while he got completely dominated physically still had heart.

    Again, it went exactly as I expected. Well, may be one think. It lasted longer than I expected.

    Loma lacks power, but it's mostly that he chooses volume and speed over power. He almost shoe shines, but not quite, they are solid enough.

    Loma needs to fight Salido before he moves up. Whatever it takes, take the short money, just get that Salido fight.

    I thought this fight would go the distance, Walters couldn't put a dent in Sosa.

    Salido rematch? You kidding? Salido has is way down the hill now. Garcia would be good. Low will win. I like him, I am just not excited about watching him beat this kid.

    We can't criticise Loma for lacking knockout power. He wouldn't have developed the unique skill he has if he had obliterating power. I love him for what he is.

    No he doesn't. Walters couldn't hurt Sosa and yet Lomachenko had him hurt numerous times. Some guys are just really tough and won't get knocked out. GGG isn't lacking power now that he couldn't knock out Jacobs. Kovalev couldn't knock out Hopkins, Ward. There is no power puncher that has a 100% KO ratio at world level.

    I think Siri's going to say F the rematch lol. He'll just keep trolling Loma, no need to let the kid get revenge.

    I am a firm believer of the muscle memory training. What Lomachenko does doesn't required much thinking for him. That is why he is so quick. At this point its a reflex. It's muscle memory. Just like what Floyd does. Sosa started boxing at 21y/o. Good hands and great condition but while his brain thinks about throwing a punch Loma hit him 6 times.

    There are fights for him at 130 if guys are willing to get in the ring with him.
    That might take a lot if money though.
    Berchelt-Miura winner, Corrales, Salido rematch.

    Let Mikey do what's needed at 135 and then super fight next year

    Yeah but GGG wasn't hitting Jacobs like Loma hit Sosa. Loma doesn't have good power. Kovalev wasn't hitting Hopkins, or Ward like Loma was either.
