I've noticed this trend going around recently where a ton of posters on here think everybody flat out sucks. All of em. Except maybe their ten favorite guys. But everybody else sucks. Carlos Monzon? Joe Louis? Deontay Wilder? Teofimo Lopez? All of em suck. (Ali is a new one, though!)
I don't think anybody is claiming Russell Jr is better than Lomo. I don't think that has been asserted by anyone other than one particular troll since they fought.
Well, he was smarter than Loma. He fought for a world title at 126 lbs, missed and still get next title fight at 126 lbs. He remained at 126 lbs and all further for him was good. Loma moved up in weight classes and now is called as exposed etc. So yeah, most likely wrong choice. I even think that Loma really was not smart nor his handlers. He needed to KO row with bums at 126 lbs when he get title and unify division stay at 126 lbs and beat preferably bums in row for title defenses. Then he had get a lot of respect from US public with impressive and fast KOs in row. Maybe some percentage from US fans then had forgiven him his main flaw: he is from Ukraine.
Ofc he did suck not less than Loma. He had been exposed by Norton and Frazier, Holmes etc. Norton and Frazier had beated him more impressively than Lopez had beated up Loma. Also he never had rematch vs Foreman, cos . Very suspicious. What a kind of ATG he was? Political ATG in 70 ies?
This is stupid, Ali lost those fights coming out of prison and had brain damage going into the Holmes fight. Lomachenko has All Time Great talent but so did Riddick Bowe. On their best night they would be H2H monsters in their weight class probably top 10 but they don't have the resume to qualify for All Time Great. Ali however does
Well, Salido despite was not able to make weight and had huge weight advantage in the ring vs Loma appeared to be a pillow fist even with his low blows all the fight. How they scored is business, if Loma was U.K boxer and Salido fought vs him in UK he by 99% had DQ loss there. Lopez ofc is weight bully at 135 lbs while Loma is too small for 135 lbs. Lopez still appeared to be professional lad: he made weight in in limit. Lopez also looks that attempted all the best to box clean boxe and this is another world if compare vs Salido. Btw some from best Loma fights I think was Loma vs Linares and Loma vs Russel Jr. Linares liked me damn a lot, also he looked not bad vs Loma. Likes Lopez or no, he even liked me a bit in this fight.
Salido was weight drained he didn even attempted to make weight then never fought at that weight again
Except the 12th round when they both went all out and loma both lost clearly on points and ate clean hard shots throughout
That was well stated. Resume matters more than "oh I think their skills though..." Otherwise you'd have Ibeabuchi on Top 10 HWs Ever lists and nobody can really call you out.
Loma has short arms, narrow shoulders and small legs compared to pacman. Pac is bigger in every dimension except hight. Bigger frame
these "punch counting" videos are really dumb, just like the same one the i saw of floyd - pacquiao. Not all punches are equal. This is not Am boxing, nor rock em sock em robots. It was a competitive fight but Lomachenko clearly lost, that's about it.
