    Loma is beautiful in the ring. He's right up there with Rigo as a technician and subjectively fights in a more fan pleasing way. I'd have to go back to Pretty Boy version of Floyd for a fighter who impressed me as much. Loma should be in the top 10.

    Yup, very true. Lomachenko should try and get Wladmir's fans and benefit from the business infrastructure his career created.

    Its like a blend of "MayPac" because he fights mid range and slip left to right like Manny but throws with the accuracy of Mayweather with the straight and moves laterally to evade hits .

    Very impressive boxing from Loma.:admin

    That footwork is sxually arousing. Bringing his hooks through with his momentum while switching the angle by whatever degree he chooses.

    Yup I agree, the last fighter I've seen this impressive in the pros is PBF. What he did in the ring tonight is just unbelievable. He loves to rig the game to his favour, programme his opponents and has them right where he wants them.

    His evasion of pressure from Martinez looked good tonight.

    Loma's footwork and his ability to switch from attack to defence and avoid getting hit whist fighting so aggressively is other worldly. People can say that amateur accomplishments don't matter but it takes a very special fighter to step into a ring 400 times or ever how much it is and to only be bested once. That is downright freakish.

    I have Lomachenko in my P4P list, simply because of a great domination of a good fighter and for breaking the record of being a first 2 weight world title holder in 7 fights.

    I had no idea his favorite fighters were black. I became a fan after he beat Russell jr I tend to always prefer technicians and loma is as technical as they get. I hope he fights Salido next then Corrales. Walters doesn't want anything to do with loma. Loma is the truth and the future p4p king of the sport.

    I don't think that many 130s are with Haymon Loma should be in a better position to get opponents here than at 126

    He's got to be. There just aren't 10 better fighters in boxing right now, and he's got the accomplishments to back it up.

    Special, special talent.

    Exactly, there's a reason why he was 402-1 including WSB, he knows how to win. The Salido fight threw him off with the major dirty tactics and Lomachenko's lack of knowledge on how to pace himself over 12 rounds, but it won't this time.

    This was a good showcase type fight for Loma. A face first Latin guy, nice record, but limited. It's the type of opponent you use to build up your upper tier guys that don't have a big following.
