If Linares had a bit more weight on that punch that dropped Loma

    Loma got on his bike to ride out round six, so I think his cage was rattled by that right. And I don't think the punch caught him completely flush, either...Had it caught the point of the chin, Loma might not have recovered as quickly as he did.

    That said, he did recover well and returned the favor, so props are due to him in that regard.

    Loma was out of position when that punch landed. Look at his feet. Linares could have had the same results with a jab.

    Why are you worried? Its not even that Loma made a grave mistake as much as it is Linares timing Lomas probe.
    Loma stepped in probing and Linares countered him just when Lomas feet were out of position.
    Loma somewhat rushed and Linares landed the perfect shot to get him off balance.

    I saw Loma legs just completely fail him. So I worry he may be chinny and get sparked out by Mikey Garcia

    :lol: Go look again.
    He barely had his feet under him when the punch landed, thats why he was knocked down but not visibly hurt.
    His chin is fine.

    Wow, ground shattering stuff, if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

    Also, if Joshua threw this punch, Lomachenko could have been knocked out.

    Thats why he got right up without signs of being hurt? he was hurt for 0.1 of a second, he even controlled his fall.
