Anyone surprised that Usyk totally outshone Lomachenko?

For me Loma's biggest mistake was jumping up in weight and therefore giving too much size away.

 

I thought maybe Haney edged it but I can see it being the other way around also...certainly not a robbery though.

Just goes back to wha tI said about Loma, the guy can't take it to the next level. Usyk can.

 

Loma started the Salido fight as an amateur. I mean he thought and fought like he was in a amateur tournament.

By the end of the fight he adjusted and realized this was a different game.

 

Loma's pro career was extremely mismanaged.

They guy is tiny with short arms and is a boxer not a puncher.

He was and could have continued to be dominant at lower weight. He just doesn't have the body to dominate at higher weight. He's too small, too short limbed.

If he stayed at lower weight, this would be a different conversation.

 

How can you say someone is just a HOFer. Loma is a great fighter of that there is no doubt. Of course he is not unbeatable like=the Lomasexuals claim but he was a great maybe even an all time great but in the pantheon Usyk ranks higher which is no disrespect. What I will say is that Usyk is the greatest Ukrainian fighter of all time.

 

Other than me being the guy who was correct way before most people were. I've had Usyk p4p 1 and Beterbiev p4p 2 since 2019. And I've been calling Loma overrated for at least 4 or 5 years. Talk about being ahead of the game.

 

For sure Usyk accomplished more as a pro. Moving up to heavy and winning is a feat not many have accomplished.

I think only Holyfied and that was in the steroid era.

 

Roy Jones and James Toney both won heavyweight titles as well.

 

Loma tarnished his legacy by running away from Lopez.

 

Loma should of stayed at the lighter weights and just out boxed people his own size. He was outboxing people to the point they'd quit in frustration.

He was nowhere near as effective fighting bigger, rangier, guys.

Just not built for it.

 

Beterbiev only wins by being bigger and stronger than his opponents. I've been saying for years that he isn't anything special.
