    Not being rude, serious question, how do you type all of that and able to accurately watch the round at the same time?

    It's not wishful thinking, it's exactly what Floyd did after the JLC scare. PBF is no dummy, he would have known that Loma had the talent to beat him.

    Outboxed for long periods? You are a crack head. Linares won 1-2 rounds including the knock down. Stop trying to revise history already.

    No question now about Loma's ATG status.

    Crawfish is huge, at 135 Loma beats him though.

    Crawfish weighs around 170 pounds, whats he ever doing fighting at the lowest weights is beyond me.

    @Drew101 the newbies are one thing but you in particular ought to know better, my friend.

    Linares did fantastic work and it was a major improvement round. But rewind. Lomachenko did better work, as he did in every single frame (including the one that became a necessitated 10-8 for Linares)

    What a boss Loma not only beating the #1 or #2 lightweight in his first fight at the weight, but actually stopping the much bigger, longer, hard hitting, highly skilled and talented technician who also has really fast hands, and he had to overcome adversity to do it too, picking himself up off the canvas for only the second time in his life after eating a perfect right hand down the pipe.

    I'm always concerned when a much smaller fighter faces someone who can match them for speed and has height, reach and weight on them, but Linares has skill and power too. If the fight night weights I heard are correct then Loma weighed slightly less or the same for his last few fights at 126. He's clearly not a lightweight and his style is a very dangerous one for fighting at higher weights because he puts himself inside the danger zone a lot.

    Linares has been preparing for Loma for a year as well.

    nothing really changes in my perspective, other than once again being amazed at lomas conditioning. mikey too big for him, but if he pulls it off, he is one for the ages.
