scene/lomachenko-vs-linares-official-scorecards-photo--128108 85-85 Julie Lederman, 86-84 Robin Taylor, 84-86 Steve Weisfeld Here's what I saw: Lomachenko vs Linares R1 10-9 Linares Linares barely takes the round which is almost entirely love taps and no bad intentions. R2 10-9 Linares Linares is starting to punch through the target but after hooking up hard into Loma’s body around two minutes Loma love taps him four times in an impressive if ineffective combination. I’m seeing Loma land but they are so what punches. R3 10-10 This is frustrating. I can’t score this for either man. They aren’t throwing punches. They are just tickling each other in there. Linares landed one good punch, but we all know he’s feather fisted. Lomachenko is content to play tag. R4 10-9 Lomachenko I’ll give it to him since he finall threw two punches that mattered. I actually laughed at some of the stuff he was doing in the last minute. He just tapped like Linare’s gloves like I do when I play box with my dog. R5 10-9 Loma Even damage but edge goes to Loma for aggression and ring generalship. R6 10-8 Linares Loma bitching about a low blow that was legal and on the beltline. He’s learned since Salido. Laying down volume, keeping Linares busy. Loma actually landed a decent punch from a weird angle. They are mixing it up. Not a lot of mustard on those punches though. Clear Loma round before Linares knocked him down good. R7 10-9 Linares good hook to the body thirty seconds in. Goes for uppercuts but is countered over the top. Jabbing. Feinting. Linares jabs to the body. Linares lands a combination body head. Loma replies body head. Loma jabs to the body. Linares hit Loma to the body and hit him on the hip. Loma cries to the ref. Bout even I give it to Linares though. R8 10-9 Loma One two from Linares. Battle of jabs. Loma dancing around stinging like a bee but occassionally Linares counters and his counters look much harder. Lomachenko outworking Linares this round. Even if nothing is on those punches the accumulation is going to add up. Good jab. R9 10/10 Good left from Linares. Linares battering with both hands about Loma’s head. Did that compubox just say Linares has outlanded Lomachenko? Loma lands a good jab, another. Accuracy is near the same. I lost track. 10/10 Maybe, a Linares round. R10 Linares comes forward with a combination forcing Loma to the ropes. Loma breaks the guard and moves off the ropes. They exchange in the middle of the ring. Not much landing. Loma breaking the guard doing good uppercuts. Loma leaps in for a left hook. Nice combination and Linares goes down. He’s not getting up. It’s over. R11 R12
Fix wasn't in unless you were drinking the Loma koolaid. I had Loma up 5 round to 4, which made it an even bout going into the 10th due to the knockdown. The judges scores were within reason, considering they are stuck on one shitty side of the ring watching the action.
Yeah, I just saw. Damn. Lederman, no surprise, apple fell pretty far there, her dad's a much better scorer - but Weisfeld? Seriously had Linares up?
I might be too. And I kind of gave him that one out of pity, and IIRC, I wrote, very close. I kind of regretted it afterward.
Ah, well then who the hell is Robin Taylor and who the hell let this inexperienced dunce sit ringside for this one?
I had loma ahead by 6 rounds to 3. & thats a best case scenario for linares... Prolly closer to 7 rounds to 2 But he did have that 10-8 round.
I thought it was 7-2 or 6-3 Always felt like Linares might land a big shot but that would’ve been in between 10 good shots from Loma Posters are saying Linares’ good work was being ignored- in my opinion, a lot of Loma’s work was being ignored because he doesn’t throw full strength shots. He was landing multiple clean shots for each clean Linares shot that got threw Also I think some posters have constructed a false narrative where Linares was wearing Loma down- it was the opposite. Linares was getting constantly peppered by mid-strength clean shots and he was the man getting fatigued and walked down.
