    Yeah, true. I'm not taking anything from GGG at all. Huge respect to him. He's just on the downside, even while still great.

    Everyone pays a price. Linares fought a darn good fight, but you're going to pay a price against Lomachenko.

    Loma showed his skill - I'm not sure he beats Garcia but I'm also not sure that fight happens.

    Teddy: I had Lomacheko up 87-84 going into 10th round.

    Would be great if it happens.

    Really not sure about a Garcia fight.

    Teddy saying right now that Garcia might be too big for Lomachenko.

    Yup, I think 135 is as far Loma should go now, unlike Pac his frame is too small for 140.

    He was significantly outsized in this fight. This might be the limit, at least for now.

    maybe move up if he cleans 135 out. definitely not his next couple fights.

    Him vs an oversized lightweight like Easter would be comical...Easter would look 3 divisions bigger on fight night.

    Fun fight man! I'm really glad Linares showed up to fight and gave a good accounting of himself.

    Good stuff.

    I knew linares would cause some problems and I've always given lomachenko immense credit, but he has flaws and Linares exposed it tonite, more so than what salido was able to do. It's going to take a great counter puncher to beat Loma, and I think Mikey might be that guy.

    It was very impressive.

    But I don't think he should try for four divisions.
