    Not true. I bruise and I'm a dark brown. Similar to Errol Spence. Especially when I was a cheater, I used to get busted with hickies all of the time. We can get black eyes that are easily visible and we swell.

    I was talking in most cases, and it's 100% true. You barely see bruises and marks on black people after a fights. This is obviously not a rule for all, but for more.

    When in comparison if your skin is totally white, there is going to be a lot of visible marks, bruises, etc.

    It annoys me how people put loma and usyk at the same level, when they are clearly not. Usyk is one level over lomacheko, whether you like it or not.

    Lol. I'm black, all of my family members are black. I grew up in an area that was majority black. And I've seen a whole lot of black people fight. So you can't be 100% certain about something that I'm far more familiar with. Of course trapped blood clashes more against lighter skin but our skin can show damage too. Even bruises. On the flipside, I've seen white boxers in tough fights leave the ring the little to no visible damage.

    Maybe Usyk´s career has been more succesful in pros but for sure Loma is still more magical to watch.

    Usyk has deep respect toward Lomachenko and his boxing skills are in large extent adapted and learned from Lomachenko´s style.

    Speaking of overrated… Ali is overrated if we are gonna go there! Lol And that’s no bull****.

    Fans don’t want to see an ALL DEFENSIVE fighter. They’re ****ing boring. Look at floyd! Both Usyk and Loma take risks in their fights.

    Both of them have only gotten dropped like a combined total of 3-4 times in a total of over 700 fights between them. Both pros and ams. I’d say their defense isn’t too ****ing shabby!! ;)

    I don't want to be too argumentative or controversial because I totally agree with the post overall, but I do disagree in that they're being put together, in the sense that if Usyk and Loma fought each other, Loma would almost certainly look like way worse than Usyk, so I feel Usyk isn't as bad as Loma here. But still definitely overrated and not good defensively.

    Lomachenko.....generational talent, in contention for best amateur ever who is only getting beat by guys way above his natural fighting weight.

    Usyk.....road warrior daring to be great, special special fighter.

    OP is a troll, end of

    I'm going to have to pull you up on the punch stats.

    The overall totals don't mean much in respect to scoring the fight. You need to have them per round.

    He didn't whoop him no but Lopez clearly outpointed him, which makes your previous post false when you said "I can't think of a legitimate loss on his record."
