Campbell and Pedraza are slow ass basic punchers and they had success touching up Lomachenko. Pacquiao only needs to land a single flush shot and I'm 100% sure that Lomachenko won't survive it. I used to want to see this fight because it wouldn't devastate me if Lomachenko beat Pacquiao. Now I don't want to see this fight because Pacquiao would seriously hurt him.
Loma tired a little late on, he didn't have the movement that he did in the first half. McGuigan and Campbell had the right idea. Body shots are the key to the win. The problem is...if Campbell can't pull a win off with that gameplan, then who the hell can? Forget Teofimo, Gervontaa, Haney and the rest...Campbell is better than those 3. I think body shots are the answer, but I don't see anyone with the talent and skill to land enough and be frequent enough to pull it off. Campbell did an amazing job of landing clean shots frequently to the body, and for everyone else, Loma won't let them do that. Campbell had all the tools he could have possibly had to win this, but couldn't quite hang in there in the second half. As I said, if Campbell can't..who can? I think Loma is unbeatable as long as he stays at lightweight.
It would take a very high quality swarmer, but I can't think of any at lightweight who are in that class.
Body shots is the right way but I feel Inoue would be the guy to do this,after watching Loma Campbell Inoue stops Loma.
The bell saved him in that round tbh. 20 more seconds and Campbell would have been gone . You could see Luke’s face contorted. I didn’t see these body shots either so I’ll be joining you at the opticians fella
Pac-man is my fave fighter but no way does he beat loma in my eyes . Manny would come for war and play straight into him. Don’t want to see that fight
I love the people talking like there's a load of LWs better than Campbell who haven't moved up or lost to Loma
Loma would raise his game against Pac. This is an old Pac. Loma's style is different than Thurman. Loma would be in Pacs face and while Pac will land, he won't be hitting Loma consistently. It will be a tough fight for Loma but I just think that Pac is too old for Loma. I'd root for the old guy, but Loma is in his prime now.
It would be a mistake for Loma to fight Inoue at 126 now. I wouldn't fight him at that weight. It's now too low for Loma.
Range. Lomachenko is an arm puncher(thus no good, long cross). He has trouble fighting at range and can only really rely on the jab for those long punches. His jab is also shorter than the best jabbers. But Luke was displaying power, and the body is as good as any a place to place your power.
