Vasiliy Anatoliyovich Lomachenko vs. Luke Campbell & Hughie Fury vs. Alexander Povetkin RBR.

Agreed. The only thing I saw where Loma had slight vulnerability was to the body.

 

Showed how poor Crolla really is. Or am I being a bit harsh?

 

The size difference was pretty dramatic. Campbell fought well and had the right game plan. Loma was just too much to overcome. It’s not going to happen but if Loma doesn’t get Mikey soon or if none of the 130 guys step up, I hope he goes down to 130. He’s giving up way too much size at 135.

Campbell was a very game competitor and fought a great fight tonight. Several close rounds but my scoring wasn’t too far from the official scores. Loma deserved a wide decision, especially with the KD. Great fight to watch.

 

11-1 for Loma for me as well.
This is what size discrepancy looks like. 5 inches apart in height and a bit more than that in reach. Overcoming that against an Olympic Medal fighter is what give you props. I love Floyd but in how many of his fights he was in a reach disadvantage -and to such a degree at that. Overcoming these is hard as ****. When you give away that much reach, you ought to give away off and late rounds so hard that you get knocked out. But with Loma it usually happens vice versa. He is the guy taking those rounds. Loma is showing us how you be a great fighter.

With that said I can't even imagine him in 140 with things are going. I think he is at his limit at 135. And that's why we gotta give props to Pac.

 

you cannot have your jab countered by right hand in your chin without any kind of dodge with this reach advantage. It means the trayectory of his punches is wrong. When he punches and when he recovers his punch. Your jab needs, I repeat NEED, to occupy the space of your oponet's right hand, and at the same time to cover you chin with your shoulder. You can be countered by a right over hand, a left hook, after a dodge, or whatever, but NEVER EVER by a straight right hand. And it happened all the time in the fight, those were not the punches of a top fighter sorry, I dont buy it.

 

Loma was way too small against this gold medallist who fought his best fight. This fight made me believe that his small size isn't an issue against the elite, that's why I want to see him against Crawford. It won't happen, Arum is talking about 126/130/135 after Loma unifies. Lomachenko needs to tell him Arum, dare to be seen as the best ever without dispute. That means jumping up to beat Crawford. I said that Lomachenko was the best ever before he turned pro and I said that he would be pound for pound number within ten fights (even after the Salido setback). I know Lomachenko as well as anyone, I think he can beat Crawford. He needs to do the ridiculous because he has ridiculous talent, he needs something challenging to motivate him. Go get Crawford. I know it's not too much for him.

 

agreed some people on here were saying campbell was a bum which is a joke
Campbell performed well but Loma still won comfortably in the end

 

I'd back Campbell against the likes of Pedraza, Commey, Easter, Lopez & Hainey.

 

Ukraine collapse under pressure of the midget known as Vlady-P.

 

Do you think inoue and loma could ever meet ?

 

Easter, in my opinion, is easy work for Campbell: Easter is big, a lot of height and reach, but always seems to give up his physical advantages in fights.

 

I agree that he will win a title

 

This is just stupid.

 

He's been really unfortunate with his schedule. I don't think people understand what emotional stress does to a person's body, how that affects recovery, focus and everything else. The fact he did as well as he did against Linares, he would have beat him any other night. Campbell is champion material without a doubt, I hope he stays focused and hungry to fulfil what he has. After Loma leaves 135 I think Campbell can unify, and I think he could easily fight at 140 or 147 to beat the likes of Mikey in money fights.

 

Too predictable. I don't know why Loma gets so many haters. He makes for exciting fights and he has a great resume as a 13 fight pro.
