ESPN: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Miguel Ángel Marriaga & Raymundo Beltrán vs. Bryan Vásquez RBR.

Oh my Lord, it looks like someone puked spaghetti over Loma's ring gear.

 

Anybody think we see The Scorpion get stopped for the first time? Lomachenko doesn't have the fearsome KO reputation of an Óscar Valdez or Nicholas Walters, but those guys both did at least drop Marriaga, just couldn't finish him off, and Loma is a more surgical puncher - and surely better finisher - than either, whose counter punching style makes him even more likely to land at will on a banger like MM.

 

Loma's sister is so fine.

 

Loma should stop him.

 

He's like a glazed ceramic dinosaur that a preschooler was allowed to paint all by themselves with no aesthetic input from a grown-up.

 

LETS GOOOOOO

 

miguel looks really small compared too loma.. good matchmaking by rob arum

 

At 135, Mikey or Linares would give the Beltran who laboured to victory in this fight a one-sided beating.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Lomachenko

10-9 Lomachenko

 

1-0 Loma (ring generalship + 2 harder shots)

 

Round 1

Lomachenko is fencing with Marriaga, staying in close, mid-range at the furthest, prying down the front door with that quick stiff jab working like a crowbar. Straight combos on the body from Lomachenko. Marriaga just keeping pace as best he can, on the back-foot, ineffective. Lomachenko the leader and dictating not just the pace but the style of the dance.

10-9 Lomachenko

 

10-9 Lomachenko

 

Lomachenko making an aggressive boxer cautious.

 

TBH I wouldn't want Loma vs Beltran, Beltran is a basic fighter, tailor made for Lomachenko.
