Loma`s being hit stats are lower than Floyd Maywather`s were at 16.5% how high does Loma`s defensive skills rate out 10? Is he vastly underrrated as a defensive expert?
What makes those stats and his defensive prowess even more impressive is he's super aggressive and offensive, like one of the most aggressive fighters in the game, and he's constantly having to move in and out of the danger zone to land his shots and avoid those coming back at him and unlike Crawford who has a huge 74'' reach and has never once been at a reach disadvantage in any of his world title fights and who often has a significant weight, reach or both advantage over his opponents regardless of weight class and is very rarely giving away weight, Loma has a tiny little T-Rex reach and is often the one giving away a significant amount of weight, reach or both.
Btw, Bivol's bein hit stat vs Barrera was 12.3%.Everyone is talking about Loma, but i think BIvol is also one of the champions with the best defense.Of course, from top of the p4p, Loma is undisputed number 1, and that's maybe not only about defensive skills.
Whitaker seemed to get hit more than Loma does, check out the Nelson fight, also his fights with McGirt and Pendleton, these fighters wouldn`t have landed as much on Loma despite McGirt probably eventually being able to over-power the smaller Loma.
