    Does Loma have a chance?

    Is this a joke
    Sweet pea wouldn’t lose a round against Orlando Salido and Teofimo.

    I don't know who would win but I'd rather Loma's economical defensive skills over Whitaker's flashy defensive skills. Loma has very good positioning and footwork with minimal movement in defense. Very plain and effective.

    Sweet Pea would put Loma in the matrix!

    Good match up.

    Loma throws more and misses while Pea clowns and slips. Pernell's deficiency in landing meaningful punches makes it close. It becomes a battle of footwork leaving onlookers divided.

    Loma is way out of his league in this matchup.
    Mismatch!

    I like Loma. Subtle defense and tricky southpaw vs Sweet Pea could prove difficult.

    To be fair to him, 3 of those losses were right at the end of his career, with 2 of them being against prime versions of Oscar and Tito.

    Pernell would clown Va-SILLY Lose-a-chenko and knock him out bad.
