Lomachenko is just too good

Lomachenko is just another cheating Russian, here is why; his luminous boxing boots are subconsciously putting his opponents off. The human eye will naturally be attracted to the brightest source. Chenkos opponents brains are having to concentrate just that little bit harder to see the punches coming and this is the reason they lose concentration! I think there should be a law which prevents the fighters boots from being brighter than the gloves. If there is no law I can see all boxers wearing bright boots to gain an advantage when this knowledge becomes common.

 

a he just scared to fight old man manny

 

He is a scared amateur who has hand picked fights and needs to retire quickly before he gets found out!

 

ok come on i actually like loma he's good not great he still needs to prove that and i need proof

 

The question was...who can beat him at featherweight. Salido did. On the record forever.

Salido probably wouldn’t now as he’s ancient and been battered for years before and after the loma fight.

Sorry lomas record isn’t that impressive

Boxing since he was 4 years old.

He’s beat

Pedraza - absolutely smashed already by tank

Roman Martinez - lost to Ricky burns

Marriga- B rate

Corlla- Mando but crap

Campbell- never held a title

Linares - been blasted out by journeymen. Loma was 3 points down on one judges card.

Ridenoux- midget who’s 37

Walters- mental midget when he can’t bully people with size.

And people are saying he’s one of the best ever. He’s in his 30s. Hel be lucky to get to 20 pro wins and will probably lose another one or two on the way

 

Loma went into the Salido fight thinking it was a legit boxing match. By the end of the fight he understood it was something more akin to a no holds bared toughman contest judged by his opponents Tios. He adapted but it took him too long. Once again, what he encountered in the Salido fight would.have been outside his experience as am amateur.

 

He is all hype and needs trickery to gain an advantage i.e illuminous boots, the promoter's have to hype him as a pound for pounder to maxamise their investment, but real fighters see the fake that he is, he is a standard eastern European boxer and that's it I see nothing special about him, I could go back in history and name at least fifty boxers around his weight who would have taken him out. Standards have dropped dramatically , Rocky Marciano would have wiped the floor with Anthony Joshua, even Dempsey would have beaten Joshua. That punk Chenko could not have lived with Pep or Saddler and many more!

 

Mayweather is a tad over rated at welter.

Loma's technical hocus pocus doesn't look as impressive when he has a boxer in front of him. He will duck Haney.

 

Rigo didn't put in half an effort after a couple rounds, and let Loma get in his head. He packed it in mentally and then bowed out. Size definitely played a factor, as well, as age, inactivity, and the whole weight of the situation, no pun intended. Guys with half Rigo's talent are giving Loma problems because they are Loma's size.

 

I agree, his yellowish clothing is too distracting also. Too much yellow makes an opponent soft.

 

You can make all the excuses you want but he left 126 without having fought Santa Cruz, who had moved up, the Cowardly Lion of Wales, Valdez, Rigondeaux, etc. He then moved to 130 and fought two guys who weren't 130 pounders in featherweight Marriaga, and Super Bantam Rigondeaux, and didn't fight any of the three or four best 130 pounders of that time frame. All weren't unavailable. He then moves to 135, and Linares gets hyped into a guy who didn't get his arse handed to him by Antonio DeMarco. Lomachenko beats Linares, but then fights Tank's son, and two of Linare's leftovers. How the **** does that work for a pound for pound guy? Why is he being matched so softly if he is really the goods? I don't get it.

 

Haney has a chance right now, looking at the issues that Linares, Pedraza, and Campbell gave Lomachenko. He's better than all three at just 20 years of age. Loma is getting slapped around by Campbell, he better stay well clear of Prograis, Taylor, or Mikey Garcia.

 

Santa Cruz won’t fight Rigo, do you really think it would be possible to get him in the ring with Loma? Say what you want, Loma has only fought top contenders who were willing to fight him from the start. Who has he skipped over at 135? He fights frequently and doesn’t wait around for guys who aren’t interested in fighting.

Meanwhile, your guy Tank fights scrubs exclusively and you guys eat it up like gravy. He exclusively fights smaller guys these days who can’t punch or move while talking a mean game on Twitter. And he fights once or twice a year. Easy work and there are enough suckers to make it lucrative. I get it, there is a market for these types of fighters among the fans who are more interested in trash talk than boxing. If this is your thing, more power to you. Lots of fighters following the same playbook. I can understand why you are so critical of Loma. He’s not a trash talking twitter stooge and is focused on collecting all of the belts at LW.

 

Haney is an exciting prospect. Do you really think he has a legitimate shot at beating Loma? He’s looked impressive against a string of nobodies. Which nobody that he beat led you to believe he could beat the best PFP fighter in the game? If they fight and Loma wins, how long before the haters complain about Loma picking on a kid?

Loma is too small to fight Prograis or Taylor, he’s already fighting at a weight above his best weight. Mikey Garcia is another matter and the only guy holding up a Loma-Garcia fight is Mikey. He’s too busy with his sideshow act, “winning” moral victories against bigger guys. I hope Mikey regains his senses and fights Loma at 135. If Loma beats Garcia, you guys can go back to the “how come he don’t fight Crawford” nonsense.

 

Haney would not beat Linares or Pedraza or Cambell. He would be lucky to win five rounds against any of them.

And you can just forget Prograis, Taylor or Garcia need to come down to 135lbs if they want the P4P #1 fighter in the world. They all lose 10 rounds.
