Lomachenko/Garcia: How big is the weight difference actually?

Loma is not nearly as powerfully built as those guys though. Marquez was a ****en beast especially when he added bulk to his frame at the higher weights. But he always had those powerfully built wide shoulders. Thurman is muscular he's way bigger than Loma. Same with Cotto, look at the thickness of Cotto's back and core. Shawn Porter is a tank.

Loma has narrow clavicles.

 

Leonard Dorin was a small lightweight. Rigondeaux is a small Super Bantamweight. Lomachenko, at 5'7, and with his solid build, is not a small lightweight. I never equated weight to height. You just want something to argue about. I simply said that Linares didn't outweigh Lomachenko by 16 pounds, and that people need to stop with the Lomachenko is a small lightweight bull****. He's an average sized lightweight. He fits the weight class.

 

Tommy Hearns at Middleweight had bigger arms than Ali. Arms account for so little of bodyweight. I get what you're saying completely, but I thought that Linares was clearly the bigger man. The difference in their back and shoulders was alarming.

 

Hmm not totally convinced but I'll check it closer later on when I get home. If you are talking about where his left foot is pointed like he is rotating, it's because he rotated his heel in on the ball to move in range with what looked like the intention of throwing a lead right hand. He wasn't turning.

 

I'm not going to let the lomaSTANKOS mess this up for me. He's a great talent and P4p Number 1 guy in the sport but right now, the only guy who hast he best chance of beating him is Mikey Garcia. But people want to make it out like Mikey is so much bigger than Loma but forget Mikey started his career at 126 as well. Everyone can't be the same size and have the same dimensions, but as long as they make the same weight at the weigh in why are people making such a big deal about what the weigh going into the fight? Sounds like people are worried Garcia might actually win..

 

Horn is average LOL, here goes the discrediting of Horn by the loma dickriders. A washed up Pac is a million times better than Mitchell and Crolla COMBINED. GTFO

 

cant think that way, get that floyd poison out of your system. if loma loses in a war, he will elevate himself much more than never having fought mikey because mikey is going on to take a lot of scalps, even if he were to lose to loma. losing to mikey will not damage lomas standing, as im sure his boxing will keep him looking fabulous till the end.

its a 3 second sequence.

 

Lomachenko isn't some tiny hobbit, but he is in fact a small LW. This is the same division that has had Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Terrence Crawford reign as champions. He's a natural Featherweight. He's best suited for 126 pounds. 5'7" with narrow clavicles does not really register as a big LW. Look at the shoulders and back on Shane Mosley at 135 and he was 5'9" and looking like that.

 

So in regards to my comment about the rear foot being rotated, was that what you were talking about?

 

sorry, the system had only loaded your first sentence when i first looked at your post and responded.
loma was following linares as linares was moving to his left, loma was in the middle of taking one more step to cut off linares movement and got caught with one foot in the air shifting his weight for the next step.

 

What did Lomachenko weigh in the ring?

 

It wasn't really circling so much as a slightly diagonal advance, by my eye. Linares obviously timed him really well (and it wasn't the only time) - I was by no means implying that Linares had nothing to do with it, but I think it's a situation Loma kinda let himself walk into as well.

His legs weren't crossing, he advanced straight on the right foot and pivoted his left as he did that last lunge forward

 

I don't know.

 

Mitchell and Crolla? Who exactly has Horn beat for you to put him in such high esteem? and of all those I mentioned would you not favor all of them over Horn and rank your top 5 at Welterweight lets see where you put Horn ... And yes Pac has been washed up for years he is an ATG but he is just a shell of who he was a decade ago would you really favor Pac over any of them. I know some people dared to mention Mayweather and Loma in the same sentence and it gets your panties in a bundle just like it did when people mentioned GGGa couple years ago. And in the same breath, you try to up Horn you also tried to discredit Linares who actually was #1 in his division agenda much?

 

Roberto Duran was a 50 year old 37 he was old and shot and he still went for it, so what you're saying is you have no faith that your boy can go up in weight and be competitive at 30 years old that's a 7-year difference man. Face it you already have your excuse all set up man you don't think lomenchenko can do it. Well then he should just stay at 135 that's the highest he should go he doesn't belong any higher.
