i thought loma was going to be noticeably smaller, but he wasnt, shorter yes, but not smaller. his neck and arms were thicker as well as his trunk. i expected a small loma because when he met mikey he looked a lot smaller. but now i realize its because mikey was in between camps and loma was trying to make 130, and they were in street clothes.
Yeah I don't buy Ali being a pound from Munguia for a second. Linares looked like he had about 10 on Loma to me.
Lineras looked closer to 185-190 minimum. JL was trying to be a mean ol weight bully but it backed fired on him. Nobody beats Loma. If it looks close It's just the biased American TV stations messing with the camera. If it looks like a clean shot that put Loma on his behind, it ain't! It's just Loma's opponent tripping little ol Loma. If the punch stats are close, they ain't! Compubox numbers all always rigged. If Loma's face looks bruised, it ain't! It's all computer enhanced imagery trying to trick us. Loma has never been hit purposely by an opponent. All shots ever landed on Loma in his entire life have all been by design or Loma letting his opponent know Loma is in charge. What needs a to be done is, since Loma has another 20 years on top, is simply multiply 20 x 3 which equals 60, reverse the Salido loss, for obvious reasons, give Loma a 10 billion dollars and let him retire at 30 with a record of 71 and 0 with the title of "FOREVER AND EVER ATG".
I’m praying to god all of it is sarcasm, and not just the part after Linares looked 185-190 pounds because if he meant that, I’m lost for words at how blind people can be
According to HBO Lomachenko was rehydrated at 138, Linares rehydrated at 152...........................
Of course it's sarcasm, @Braindamage is a knowledgeable poster. To be honest I'm quite surprised that this is even a question, shows what the forum is like these days ...
I also don't believe Ali was only 1 pound less than Munguia. I can believe Munguia 170 lb, sounds about right, but I doubt Ali could be more than 165 lb max. There must be some trickery here, perhaps one fighter is weighed with more clothes on or something. Linares / Loma weight difference also too large, my guess just from looking at them would be about 8-10 lbs difference (which of course is still a lot for that weight class).
I was being sarcastic. Just making fun of some of the over the top Loma fans. It all started with another OP that said Lineras landed nothing and Loma dominated the entire fight, as if Lineras was a walk over. People can't even give credit to a Loma opponent without some idiots going off on you. By the way, don't even try to criticize Loma. You will be a marked man around these parts!
The people saying that Loma dominated are delusional. My card was dead even, and I thought Linares was still landing the harder punches. I was convinced that Linares would win right up until the knockout. Loma looked more athletic, but Linares looked far bigger, stronger, and his punches seemed much harder. Linares also shut down an awful lot Loma's footwork by simply stepping around. I really like Loma as a fighter, but he looked to have zero power at 135. I think Loma was very fortunate to land that body shot.
i definitely wouldn't say dominated, but Loma was always in control. It looked to me that a lot of Linares punches were landing on gloves or arms as well. there's no way it was even or Linares ahead though, i just dont see any way to get to that score. there were also a lot more instances of Loma spinning or stepping around Linares, than Linares mitigating Loma's footwork
