Vasyl Anatoliyovych Lomachenko vs. Masayoshi Nakatani & Zhanibek Alimkhanuly vs. Rob Brant RBR.

Lopez doesn't drop rounds as often as tank. Lopez has more craft to his game. Lopez brings a big reach advantage with those counter punching skills. Lopez is celebrated for winning rounds he barely landed a punch in. Fury was denigrated when he did the same to Wladimir. The only reason that fight was entertaining is because Loma pushed Lopez around the second half and slapped him around the ring. Davis doesn't have the output or ring iq to deal with Loma.

 

That's what folks were saying about Lopez before the Loma fight. You lot are sounding like a broken record.

 

Loma lost because he failed to pace himself properly. Same reason he lost to Salido. It wasn't anything Lopez himself done. Lopez won purely because Loma didn't throw. Not because Lopez outboxed Loma.

Davis has far less reach then Lopez and much less output. If it took 6 rounds for Loma to find his timing against Lopez it will take 3 against Tank.

 

Timing had nothing to do with Loma's low output. It was Lopez not biting on Loma's feints. Just look at how fluid Loma was against Rigo. Rigo was biting on every feint. He was going defensive. Once Loma got him in a defensive position, he was able to throw in bunches, making Rigo go even more drfensive. It allowed Rigo to be put in a position were he could get hit, but not counter. Beautiful display by Loma. Compare that with the Lopez fight. Lopez kept that right hand ready to blast. Never went defensive from the feints. Once Loma figured out a plan B, things went much better for him. That's my opinion anyway.

 

You think Davis can last as long as Lopez before Loma figures him out? Davis has pretty slow feet from what I've seen.

 

You think Loma would survive a clean shot from Davis like the punch Lineras landed? We can speculate all day. I'm not saying Davis wins, but I highly doubt Loma runs circles around him like he did to Walters or Rigo. All I know is, if Loma struggles with Davis, there is a portion of Loma fans that will come up with excuse after excuse as to why Loma didn't look good. God forbid if Davis wins or ko's Loma. Run for the hills.

 

Davis can KO anyone 135 and below. He has freakish power. But up until he catches Loma, Loma will be running circles around him.

 

I'm not sure. He struggled to stop ghost from old Gamboa.

It will be like with Lopez: wins via stoppages untile some just Nakatani, just Loma and then KO power disappears.
There were KO specialists in other weight classes, too had happened the same.
While power to KO with 1 punch Tank for sure does have enough also for 140 lbs division. The problem is to land properly.

 

Disagree.

No he doesn't, he's ****. Nakatani has always been better at lightweight in particular.

 

Golovkin beat Canelo twice out of his prime, so if Canelo is a living legend then so is GGG.

 

It's not just me that's observed that female judges tend to get the scoring terribly wrong then?

 

You're right there, Loma just really needed a plan B and it took him too long to figure out, which is a credit to Lopez' initial gameplan. Tank on the other hand doesn't seem the type of fighter to even have a gameplan besides waiting to land big bombs. His lack of urgency and low output would see him getting pieced up, not to mention that Tank isn't nearly as fast as he's been made out to be, whereas I've never seen Teofimo look slow in comparison to anyone. I thought Tank looked quite sluggish against Barrios and Gamboa, he definitely didn't have hands as fast as theirs.

 

You may be right. Thinking on this. Loma may use Davis's reflexes against him much the same way he did agsinst Rigo. We know what Loma brings to the table. In a fight agsinst Loma, it we be very interesting to see how Davis handles himself. Will he rise or fall?
