    My logic is that Inoue has a much better jab, is faster and has longer reach. There is simply no way Loma is winning a battle of the jabs. If Inoue used his jab, Loma would be forced to come in slightly and look for counter shots. Andvbased on the Kambosos fight, Loma's punch resistance has decreased some. He didn't take Kambosos' few punches all that well, to the body or head. A well timed left hook or right cross would drop Lomachenko 100%.

    Loma isn't the type to run. He'd be looking for counters and that'd all but ensure his doom.

    Remember Inoues posts when Loma stop Nakatani ?

    Inoue is a fan of Loma and his skills.

    Loma at 126 would be a bridge too far for Inoue.

    Loma's foot work is far too elite, punch selection was far too good, angles far too superior.

    If Loma had stayed at 126lbs and 130lbs like he should have done I would confidently pick him to win, but having to go down two weight classes at 36 years old would be difficult.

    I don't think loma could make 126 at this point but 130 is a different story.

    Yeah, but Loma is a small 135. He should be able to get to 126 with ease. To hear the Loma fans, he is a natural straw weight.

    Don't know about outbox but Inoue would probably stop Loma.

    Loma could still make the weight he's obviously a small 135. Can't see him wanting a beating from Inoue when he doesn't need it.

    Prime Loma at 126 would school the **** out of Inoue

    If I'm being honest, I think a prime Loma knocks him out and I feel very confident in saying that. Inoue's very powerful, fast, accurate and skilled but Loma's skill level and defence is on a whole other level. A whole other level. Inoue is great but Loma is all wrong for him.

    Loma has taken the shots of many much bigger men and much harder punchers than Inoue and guys that are some of the fastest and most skilled in the game.

    Linares, GRJ, Rigo and Teofimo are some of the fastest fighters in the sport and very athletically gifted. GRJ, Linares and Rigo are/were all top 10 fastest IMO and GRJ is considered the fastest by many

    Nery dropped Inoue and Loma hits harder than him and is so much more skilled and better than him in every possible way it's like comparing SRR to a club fighter

    You think Inoue hits harder than the blazing fast Linares who is much bigger than both Loma and Inoue? No a chance in hell. Loma suffered a flash KD against him due to overconfidence and complacency

    And Loma has hurt, badly hurt, dropped or stopped every single 135 pounder he's fought sans Teofimo and he didn't even start fighting until the second half of the fight in that one and they're all much or way bigger and heavier than him.

    Loma has never lost to anyone his size in over 420 fights (sans possibly is first amateur loss) amateur and pro, let alone someone smaller than him. That's 4 losses in 420 + fights and 2 of them should not be losses. All 3 of his pro losses came against opponents who were 2 or 4 divisions heavier than him.

    And let's not forget he avenged his only amateur loss x 2

    Adam Lopez has sparred both

    Inoue will be lost in matrix, just like most of Lomas opponents at that weight

    Loma is one of the greats at featherweight but obviously money and names took him up to lightweight.
    He would definitely beat inoue cause he would actually for once in his life be the bigger man too

    Inoue wouldn't outpoint Loma at 126 much less stop him.
