Doesn't anyone else think Loma is looking like a small Calzaghe??

Your sure go and tell ward this

 

Mikey is Loma's kessler!

 

That's very optimistic of you. I think there's a just as great chance Crawford can bomb Loma out of there. It's hard to say IMO. Crawford even drains himself a lot to make 140.

 

Negative!!! Size was the difference in the Salido fight and Crawford would be even bigger, stronger and more skilled! Good little man facing a good big man. Usually the big man wins. Crawford is no joke and he brings it in most of his fights. I think Loma moving up 2 divisions to face Crawford would show heart but, he would have little to nothing to worry Crawford with in the way of power. Crawford walks him down and puts the pills on Loma mid fight. This fight doesn't go past 8!

 

There are similarities but Lomachenko is a more skilled fighter.
Even if he hasn't the fights yet Lomachenko is P4P number 1

 

Crawford would be about 4 divisions bigger than him on fight night

 

Cakzaghe had second to none workrate. Loma picks his shots a little better.. Similar yes but not a mirror image.

 

Almost everyone that scored the fight for Hopkins is lying to themselves and others. I understand that Hopkins is an American legend that people want to see as an iconic figure. America love a reformist and Hopkins as a former armed robber turned world champ is just the story that wins Americas hearts but...

Here are some solid facts
1. Calzaghe landed more than 100 punches than Hopkins throughout the fight.
2. Contrary to what people want to believe, Calzaghe also made Hopkins miss more
3. All round punch percentages, Calzaghe finished ahead of Hopkins
4. Calzaghe outlanded Hopkins in every round
5. A Byrd who scored for Hopkins. Type in Adalaide Byrd in Google and see what comes up for yourself, still here are some little things for you to look at
a. A Byrd was the only judge out of the 3 scoring judges that had Mack ahead against Cloud
b. The K Pavlik - A Lopez fight was scored 98-92, 99-91 by the other 2 judges, A Byrd scored it 95-95
c. A Byrd was one of the judges that had Morales a 4 point loser against Maidana
d. In the S Aydin vs S Ouali fight, the other 2 judges scored clearly for Aydin. Byrd scored for Ouali
e. The J Almaraz/C Tyler fight was scored a Maj-Dec all because of one judge, guess which? A Byrd
f. The A DeMarco/J Reyes fight was a SD. Guess who the odd judge out was? A Byrd.
g. The R Torres - M Arnaoutis fight was a close fight, a point either way to 2 judges but a wide result scored by Byrd
h. In the A Pryor Jr/D Stanislavjevic SD, guess who the odd judge out was? You guessed it... A Byrd
i. The W Ferguson/J Lopez SD, guess who the odd judge out was? You guessed it... A Byrd

Remember the other 2 judges scored clearly for Calzaghe

6. Calzaghe beat Hopkins in America, at a new weight with 3 American judges and Cortez as ref.
7. Calzaghe scored the single highest score card against Hopkins ever 116-111 at that time.
8. The 2 judges that scored for Calzaghe agreed on 9 of the rounds
9. Calzaghe landed more on Hopkins than anyone ever.




Now I know there will be a flood of people coming on here noting Hopkins scoring a flash KD in the first round, and I agree that Hopkins did win a few rounds even when he didnt land as often, but people are mad if they think Calzaghe won on workrate, Calzaghe won because he was able to land his left more often than Hopkins could land his right.
Calzaghe finished the stronger and took away the moments Hopkins likes down the stretch.
Other thoughts, If Hopkins thought he was winning, do you think he would have been looking for time out and would bother trying to get points deducted off of Calzaghe, of course he wouldnt, Hopkins knew he was losing.

What I do note is that nobody seems to mind Hopkins lost to Taylor. In the first Hopkins/Taylor fight, Jermaine was badly hurt and Hopkins looked the stronger at the end, yet it seems to upset alot of these people that Calzaghe beat Hopkins. Appears very biased.

 

lol at your comment. Don't try to elevate Calzaghe by attaching him to Lomachenko. They fight nothing alike. Lomachenko has better defense, better power, better footwork, and better boxing ability. Calzaghe lacked power, and was more of a slapper, who fought in a thin weight division. He also had too many fights for Hopkins to have been his only top quality opponent.

 

Not sure you watched Hopkins vs Calzaghe. Calzaghe landed about 50 punches through 12 rounds. Quite a bit fewer punches than Hopkins landed through 12 rounds. Not sure why people even quote CompuBox. That fight is a prime example of CompuBox being a purely psychological tool used to try and push an agenda. In this case, out with the old, Hopkins, and in with the newer Calzaghe. A damn shame they ripped Hopkins off like that.

 

Calzaghe beat Hopkins without much of a doubt. It's only Hopkins' ugly and negative style that made it look close. Same for his fight with Winky Wright.

Only dodgy judges / man-lovers could have scored those for Bernard.

 

See that you are trying to rewrite history as best as possible.
Tell me all about these over 50 punches Hopkins landed because the only ones of real note was the punch in the first round which scored the knockdown which wasnt overly hard and caught Calzaghe when square on and it was Calzaghe that got straight up and went on the hunt and a punch in round 7 that Hopkins landed after a headbutt in a round Calzaghe clearly dominated.
Do you think Hopkins would have been looking to do so much looking to the ref and holding if he thought he was winning? I dont. He didnt years later when he fought Pascal or in his fight after when he beat Pavlik or his fight before with Wright. Still you try and rewrite history and hope the fans didnt watch
