Rigo is 37, and was fighting two divisions above his best weight. While a fight we definitely were intrigued to see, not truly a risky fight when it was all said and done. How many 37 year olds below LW have you seen beat a prime elite fighter? We all know Loma was beat against Salido, and those who of us who like sport are intrigued to see if Loma can adjust against pressure fighters of that caliber and win or if that style is his kryptonite. The very fact that Loma was a SFW and Berchelt is the man at SFW should make every boxing and every Loma fan want to watch it.
Maidana was a lot dirtier against Floyd, head butts, low-blows, elbows, kidney punches, kicks, takedowns, arm-wrenching...the whole gamut. He was not penalized either, and Floyd won, and demanded an immediate rematch just for the people who thought he lost.
Lomachenko was cheated in the fight with Salido, he was hit below the belt over and over again, hit behind the head, hit after the bell, was held a lot, elbowed, headbutted and Lawrence Cole did nothing about it. Lomachenko had Salido out on his feet in the 12th round, the Mexican judges gave Salido a split decision, I had Lomachenko winning the fight..................in a rematch Lomachenko would have knocked Salido out easily..................Lomachenko will fight anyone...................hell, Linares, Mikey, etc., he does not avoid the best fighters out there............
Rarely do I call fights but with Rigo I expected the No mas,just as I expected a duff fight as Rigo never throws hardly enough punches to beat Lomo and yet him being two divisions down didnt bother anyone at the time except Lomo who said as much.get what you’re saying about Berchelt but you can’t fight everyone at the same time. Anyway we have Linares v Lomo which I’m looking forward to as I love watching Linares even though I expect him to lose I think he could win rounds at least.
Floyd beats the hell out of Loma and wins a lopsided decision. Loma has never encountered anyone close to Floyd's style or speed.
That’s not counting him deliberately missing weight to come as a Welterweight,something which should be banned outright as it’s dangerous. You just know with Lomo like you say that he’ll fight anyone,I’ve heard on the grapevine that he’s having a tune up against Baby Miller and then he’s having two fights,one against Wilder and one against Joshua.
Tough fight to call. Both brilliant in their own right. The difference for me is FMJ probably had a bigger punch at 130 than Loma, FMJ by a very close decision or late TKO.
I’ve seen this one posted a few times and I guess according to Terrance, having an opinion on one fighter beating another is “disrespecting” them now?? This content is protected
In his 2nd pro fight? Loma never experienced such dirt before, he was punched below the belt 80 times (no joke) + he was robbed and Salido was almost out on his feet in the 12th, pretty good for a 2nd pro fight against a dirty mofo
Stop it, it was identical, Loma was robbed of the win, whereas Mayweather got a gift decision, Floyd lost widely to Castillo as well
Hard core fan of Loma Not exactly impressed by Mayweather as a person... Nobody beats Mayweather at 130, even Edwin Valero or Young De La Hoya are not good enough to beat prime Floyd at 130 Loma prime is Bantam to Feather, he came in to the Pros late and old, or he could have been an even more superior Bantam
