If you all think Loma being dropped was a sign of a weak chin, seek medical attention.

    I didn't see any knockdown there, just saying.

    Obviously you're gonna get buzzed, 50 fights brotha.

    Oh, that was a great performance, no doubt.

    Loma will be an ATG.

    Linares showed he is human, did pretty well. people will now have more belief in their chances.

    95% of fighters would have gone down from that shot. It was a well placed punch.

    I believe Loma's feet weren't in position to absorb a meaningful punch.

    It was a balance shot, no big deal.

    Like Calzaghe-Hopkins. And Calzaghe has a titanic chin.

    Anyone can be dropped if they get hit and they are moving forward or standing still and don't roll with the punch.

    Who cares? Marquez was knocked down numerous times but never KO'd, same with Tim Bradley, Same with Naseem Hamed, all great fighters.

    There’s a bit of glass in Loma mandible
    It wasn’t the hardest shot

    And, on top of that, Loma was moving into that punch.

    That punch landed at Lomachenko was coming in, plus Lomachenko came straight in instead of at an angle, that punch proved that Lomachenko has a really solid chin as he was not hurt at all, it was a flash knockdown..............Lomachenkos came right back and knocked Linares out with body punch, which showed power!!!!!!!

    Ismael Salas said Linares has knocked out 32 or 33 of his sparring partners with 16oz gloves and head gear on since he started working with him. Here's one of them

    Course not; got a tad overzealous and marched into a right down the pipe.
