    You know I’ve thought this myself,imagine after his loss to Salido what Arum would be telling him and what he actually did,guys a monster.

    Quite right and then after Garcia he needs to tackle Usyk then Joshua.

    One of the things I noticed about Lomachenko is that his confidence seems to be 100 percent real. Spence gives off the same vibe.

    I’m surprised how little has been said about Linares,showed his class,caught Lomo several times and proved he’s worthy of being the next best in and around Garcia and Lomo.
    Linares could still do more yet though I do feel him not getting up was his no mas moment.

    This. Walters purposefully didn't make weight against Marriaga at 126, because Marriaga had beat him in the amateurs and was a power puncher. Walters later said he could make 126 again if he had to. He weight bullied Marriaga but still couldn't hurt him. Walters fought Sosa at 130. He did hurt Sosa at one point of the fight, but was fairly unimpressive. I though the draw was warranted. Walters was benched by Arum for not accepting the initial lowball offer to face Loma. While Walters was benched, Loma kept fighting. Walters basically had the take the short money after seeing Arum wasn't going to get him a fight. Notice that Walters hasn't fought since either.

    Timothy Bradley said as much esp after his knockdown.
    Great point about Spence as I wrongly thought that his confidence was fake but how wrong could I be as he not only fought Brook in his own backyard he also showed great heart and confidence to win that.
    Both do have the same vibe re their behaviour,neither are brash or loudmouths but it’s like everyone knows they’re for real.

    There we go. Loma was an amateur most of his career and had no choice but to fight the best. It's bred in him.

    i think thats a fair offer, split the profits down the middle and loma and bob can work out their split from lomas half.

    His last fight was the first time that I saw Loma being knocked down. He can be knocked out if he moves up in weight to 140.
