    Impressive performance from Loma, even more so considering his age, inactivity and the size disparity. It was a complete domination and his style should've favoured Kambosos more than Haney's did but he won every round without needing to move out of 2nd gear. Becoming the first man to stop Kambosos was a real nice exclamation point on the performance, I predicted he would stop him when they were first due to fight.

    Teofimo and Haney are obviously way bigger and heavier than Loma with significantly or way longer reaches and they're also significantly or much bigger than Kambosos too but neither could get him out of there. Haney had 24 rounds to do it but still couldn't put a dent in him. That's how elite Loma's skills are. Teofimo is one of the most skilled guys in the sport and so is Haney is too but even with their size advantage they couldn't get him our of there

    I said long ago that Loma is one of the best body punchers in the sport and that even though he's tiny for the division his power is underrated

    He's either hurt, dropped or stopped every 135 pounder he's fought sans Teofimo who he didn't even start letting his hands go against until the second half of the fight

    Stopped

    Linares
    Kambosos
    Crolla
    Nakatani

    Dropped and badly hurt multiple times

    Pedraza
    Commey
    Campbell

    Hurt

    Haney
    Ortiz

    And Pedraza, Campbell and Commey only survived by the skin of their teeth. Campbell
    had to hold for dear life and rugby tackle Loma to the canvas to buy time. Pedraza was dropped x 2 in round 11 and barely made it out of the round. And Loma took his foot of the gas against Commey after hurting him badly

    Loma and the huge punching Teofimo share four common opponents now

    Kambosos
    Nakatani
    Ortiz
    Commey

    Every single one of those fighters were much or way bigger and heavier than Loma

    With the exception of Commey who Teofimo got out of there early after catching him with a beautifully timed bomb of a right hand Loma has done much better against all three of their other common opponents

    Dominated and stopped Kambosos without losing a round
    Dominated, beat the crap out of and stopped Nakatani without losing a round
    Beat Ortiz albeit it was tough close affair

    Whereas, conversely, Teomifo lost to Kambosos in his own backyard, went life and death against Nakatani on his own soil
    Should've lost to Ortiz wide in his own backyard

    no need to retire. he is a good test for a jr wanting to test himself at 135. but this pretty much shuts the doors on his world champ aspirations. unless the top guys keep avoiding each other, then he might get recycled. but i think the time is right, and theyre gonna start sorting themselves out.

    Sounds like he was pretty disappointed after the Haney affair. Glad he fought on as this was perfection. Thanks Papachenko!

    if he looked bad in his previous fight, I could agree with you but he arguably won that fight against Haney, so I’m not sure how you would’ve thought he was at risk of getting old overnight.

    Loma vs Navarrete would be a good fight to watch. I hope they can make it in December

    Apparently Lucas Browne won by KO in round 2

    I guess it was safe for the usual gronks to pretend to like Loma today seeing he wasn’t facing one of their boys.
    George can be proud he ended the Take over and has been in the ring with Loma and Haney x 2 has made good money not bad for a kid from Sydney who started out fighting on club shows with no promoter backing him.

    There wasnt much of a size disparity against Kambosos. If there was it was negligible at best.

    Nowhere near giant LWs like Jamaine, Teo, Haney.

    Plus if everyone quit after losing a couple of fights at the top end then there’d be nobody left for us to see in the ring. He was literally beaten but not embarrassed against the two best guys in the division. It’s nothing to be ashamed of at all.

    Arum said that there is a possiblity that LWs would fight in Saudi.

    Good for Loma

    I was wondering how that fight would turn out. Good for Browne
