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

Lomachenko is just stupid good. Like, he's simultaneously the exact guy you would ideally want to show a novice to watching this sport to be like "this is how you do it, perfectly textbook (yet not in a predictable way)" - and yet having to explain to said person (again, tabula rasa, with zero boxing knowledge) all the little subtle nuanced things he is doing would take literally as long as teaching a college professor's entire syllabus. You could dedicate an hour long class to each round.

 

wow loma marked up

 

Marriaga get punished for that!

 

Cut!!

 

Round 1: 10-9 Lomachenko
Round 2: 10-9 Lomachenko
Round 3: 10-8 Lomachenko
Round 4: 10-9 Lomachenko

40-35 Lomachenko

 

10-9 Loma. 40-35 Loma

 

MARRIAGA IS A LIVE ASS MOTHER****ER.

 

cut was a headbutt, that other mark was a punch

 

Lomachenko doing Juuuuuuuuust enough to win the round.

40-36.

 

Yeah they're really not the same. Beltran has always been a fringe contender that can give top guys a surprisingly hard time.

Salido has always been a journeyman that can take a p4p guy out behind the woodshed.

 

there's too much truth in this. Showboating against a guy coming off a loss and coming up in weight, and there are people here in awe giving out countless compliments to him. If it was another fighter, he's a scumbag.

 

Oooh, Loma's cut! He's pissed I think. He was already committed to offense tonight, he going to go for the kill now!

Marriaga the first three wasn't an easy target for Loma, but now his defence is breaking down and Loma's finding him easily. Marriaga's still tough, but he's getting it this round.

 

Big headbutt there, Loma looking bothered by it.

 

10-9, 40-35.
