???not sure? I think he might edge it over 15? But Loma might edge it over 12. I just don’t see either guy getting destroyed in this fight?
The thing is, over 12 Pedroza would just start the bout quicker, and implement his strategies. I can't see Loma beating him at 12 or 15 rounds. It would be a close bout IMO, but clear for Eusebio.
Lomachenko was at that stage between Salido, Russell and later I’d say up to the Walters fight where his improvement fight by fight was dramatic. I’d take the Lomachenko of around the Martinez and Walters fights to beat Pedroza. It wouldn’t be easy but he’d get it done IMO.
Pedroza could certainly beat Loma and one up Salido...but even then Loma is good enough that I really don’t see him getting wrecked by anyone, even if he were to drop a decision
I saw everything Pedroza was in and wrote a long piece about his career. He ain't "wrecking" Lomachenko and the Salido bout doesn't play anywhere in my mind about styles. Lomachenko became far better after the Salido bout. I'm pretty sure Vasyl would have taken him to task had they had a rematch. I haven't seen a featherweight who would "wreck" Lomachenko.
To beat Eusebio, a fighter would have to use the Barry McGuigan blue print of June 8 1985, when Barry won the belt. Lomachenko, is a terrific champion and fighter. But Eusebio is well seasoned, and a boxing match might not get it done, forcing the action, bobbing and weaving, does apparently. Lots of hard shots to the body, and pressure. I see Pedroza winning a very narrow bout on points, based on overall ring experience, unless Loma changes his fight plan to shut down Eusebio. Both great fighters.
14 total fights with 1 lost in those 14 fights. You guys and Lomo are putting the chicken before the egg . Do you realize Pedroza had more championship wins than Lomo has total fights. Against FAR better competition. Lockridge ×2 Kobayashi, Taylor , Olivares, Laporte, are better wins than ANYONE on Loma's list. Hell , I'd pick Lockridge and Taylor To beat Loma prime vs prime. Pedroza may not knock Loma out clean, but the boxing lesson would leave no doubt ,and that's if Pedroza fights him without his "tricks" (fouls, And Pedroza would foul a fighter like Loma just because) Loma looking good against the Russell's ,Martinez, Sosa,and of course Rigondeax (a natural Bantamweight) coming in at Super featherweight, Fighting Loma who weighed in damn near Jr. Welter on fight night. Please. It doesn't equate to him beating a fighter as proven as Pedroza was. I'm not saying the kid doesn't have talent ( he does) but let's give him a few more fights before you give him the GOAT title.
This. Dreaming if you think that someone would LITERALLY "wreck" Loma. Deluded. There's a TON of EE hate at the moment.
