Vasyl Lomachenko's pressure style (Analysis)

Yeah, but how much of that is bad skin?

Little Rigo fought Donaire. A pound for pound guy at the time, who was bigger, and could bang. Rigo was comparatively smaller than both Donaire and Loma, while Loma is closer to Lopez's size in the ring. Loma will have to let the skills pay the bills. He is still the favorite over Lopez. Loma fans have to stop making prefight excuses. Loma is far too skilled for excuses. You all act like he's fighting at welterweight.

Pacquaio has faster handspeed w/ single shots and combinations even at 41 and he packs much more power. Loma's jab isn't better. Loma uses it as a rangefinder/distraction tool. Pac's one of the best at parrying and picking off punches w/ his jab. Both outstanding jabs w/ each a different approach and purpose.

 

Of course, he can be outboxed. Did Manny win against Mayweather ? You really underestimate Loma's defensive ability.

 

Lomachenko's defense isn't as good as Floyd's. And Lomachenko's defense is predicated on his offense. He's tailor made for Pacquiao. Don't forget — Lomachenko wanted nothing to do with Pacquiao and ducked him.

 

Manny is infinitely bigger than those guys. Has fists that measure the same as Wlad Klit. Calfs and thighs that are a half and inch smaller as well.

There's a reason he hasn't left 147lbs in 12yrs.

Size isn't weight man. Frame is size.

 

I think Pacquiao and Loma have equal hand speed but Pacquiao punches harder.

 

Pacquiao hasn't left 147 because it's considered the big money glamour division alongside heavyweight.

Fight night weight determines whether a fight is doable. If Golovkin or Clenelo rehydrated only 1-2 pounds, Pacquiao would fight them at 160. Pacquiao giving up 10-15 pounds is the norm for him. And Pacquiao actually has a tiny frame. It's the same size or smaller than Lomachenko's.
