    Loma started too slow vs Teofimo. Teofimo is actually very skilled and is a lot bigger (by his own admission pre-fight, this was what would make the difference).

    Loma should have got the nod vs Haney.

    What's even funnier is that you previously laughed at and scolded Loma for failing "to open up" against Haney, when Loma threw more punches against Haney (564) than your idol Floyd---a man to whom you are more creepily devoted than teenage girls are to Taylor Swift--did against the hopelessly outgunned Victoriano Sosa (448) or against Castillo (448) in what was a highly competitive fight.

    Is that meant to disparage Floyd? No, Floyd was a brilliant fighter and an ATG (just far from the Best Eva yo!). Rather it's meant to demonstrate that, like most Millennials, your arrogance is only matched by your ignorance.

    I get it, man. You don't like Loma. Congratulations--here's a cookie. But have enough self-respect to own it---plenty of others on here do---and spare me your second-rate analysis.

    *Sigh. 17-3.

    There's no need to be analyzing anything. You guys are the ones making all of the excuses.

    I didn't make any excuses.

    In fact, I specifically stated that Loma lost to Lopez and deservedly so. The judges didn't get it right in the Haney fight, and it robbed the Ukrainian of a legacy cementing win and a path to ATG status.

    You have your opinion of the kid; I have mine. No worries. Time to bury the hatchet.

    Weight Bully Haney could not even outclass or hurt an undersized Lomachenko.

    Loma dared to be great fighting above his natural weight class.

    That Haney fight was how long ago now? What has he done since? He could have kept going, fought Shakur who was begging to fight him, and STILL went on to become undisputed.

    But he won't take the hard way.

    He has grown accustomed to being fast tracked and is as complacent outside of the ring as he often is inside of it.

    "Beating" Haney 7-5 ain't **** to hang your hat on. Sorry.

    He dared to do what many great fighters before him have done.

    He just failed.

    I should have known better. Lol

    Truthfully, I am about as interested in your "analysis" of Lomachenko's career and psychological makeup as I am in your boxing "analysis."

    Neither, quite frankly, would qualify as anything to hang your hat on.

    Get some help, man. That stick up your ass about Lomachenko is fast becoming a syndrome.

    Best eva yo!!

    Loma loss because Teofimo has the blueprint and Haney implemented it successfully.

    Ahhh... okay. I will continue to deal in objective facts while you pretend that Loma isn't 17-3, fighting once a year, and drifting into obscurity.

    I hope it goes well for ya!

    Enjoy the Kambosos fight! :lol::lol::lol:

    Yeah, because "objective" is the first thing that comes to mind when anyone reads your obsessive posting on Lomachenko.

    Were you "objective" when you criticized Lomachenko's supposed lack of offensive output? Because the numbers.....ie facts....sure as sh*t didn't support your assertion.

    17-3? And? If Loma retired tomorrow, his next stop is the HOF. Not bad for 20 fights.

    Fighting once a year? And? What do you care? You don't even like the guy.

    Fading to obscurity? Really? Loma's fighting for a title in a couple of weeks. Assuming he wins, we both know he'll be looking to unify later this year.

    Between your slavish devotion to Floyd Best Eva yo and your almost pathological dislike for Lomachenko, you've got some real unhealthy attachments. Lol

    Calm down, brotha! It'll all be over soon!

    I mean... at least it should be. There's no point in retiring like 19-6... now is there? At 17-3, he still has some delusional message board fans that can pretend that he is an ATG fighter.

    19-6, though?

    That would be a hard sell, even for you.

    My guy....I offered an olive branch, and you beat me over the head with it. LOL

    Glad to see you've conceded he's a future HOFer and isn't fading into obscurity. Isn't progress wonderful?

    As I mentioned previously, I suspect he'll beat Kambosos and attempt to unify later this year, possibly against Tank. And if he beats Tank or Shakur (two fights in which he'd be a very live dog) to unfiy, he'll be very much back in the ATG discussion given his advanced age. If he loses, he'll retire and await his HOF induction ceremony.

    But seriously, my guy...you've got to get a hold of this obsessively compulsive need to comment on all things Loma; you're like a deranged ex-wife stalker. lol

    I couldn't stand Carl Froch, so like most well adjusted people, I didn't fixate on Carl Froch.

    Olive branch for what? LOL.

    We aren't enemies. We just disagree about Vasyl Lomachenko and I will continue to call out excuses made for him. There are no hard feelings involved.
