How would Loma do against the 135s of mid 2000s (Corrales/Casa/Castillo/Freitas)

Don't forget Loma has had 12 more fights since Salido and become a pretty seasoned in that time. Could he be roughed up by big, strong, skilled lightweights? I reckon so. Like above posters they're all really interesting fights. Great post El Chicano

 

I suppose you wan't someone to say this.. Lomo is the most overrated fighter in the history of boxing, a slightly meaner than average leprechaun would beat him? Done. Now all you people that are triggered by the fact that an Eastern European fighter could be one of the greatest fighters of all time can go home, have your milk and cookies, and sleep in bliss tonight.

 

The only one i see loma beat is freitas and thats a 50/50 fight!!

 

Castillo kills Loma due to styles and size, Castillo is 2x bigger than Salido and 3x better, terrible match up for Loma

 

Rather than making any emotion fueled predictions for or against Loma here I think I'll wait until he beats someone who is an elite fighter in their prime first.

 

Corrales loses a decision is stopped late from cuts or hitting the deck a few times. Loma's movement will have him unable to sit down on his punches the whole fight (though I do expect Loma to get put down at some point and get up.)
I'll lean toward Castillo's constant pressure wearing Loma down until I see him beat a relentless pressure fighter, he has certainly improved since salido but that could just be a bad style matchup for him.
I expect the busier Loma to outpoint Casamayor as he was never a favorite of the judges.
The Corrales and Juan Diaz fights unfairly color my opinion of Freitas so I think Loma wins a clear decision.

 

Little ***** ankle biter is one of the founders of that movement.

Famous Ankle Biter quotes...

“Loma is NOT this God you guys make him out to be!!!”

“The Rigo fight didn’t mean ANYTHING doe and shouldn’t even be on his record!!”

“Floyd put on a legendary performance against McGregor and it was a great way to get to 50-0 doe.”

 

Loma beats both Corrales and Freitas (both would have a punchers chance but you can't favor them to win IMO).

I think the Casamayor fight would be interesting but I'm not sure Casamayor would throw enough punches to win. But Casa was awkward and wasn't below getting dirty if need be. I think Loma would pull it out but it would be close IMO. I think Casa is a very underrated fighter.

Castillo would be extremely close, I could see a draw or close points for either fighter.

 

My thoughts exactly (although I think the Castillo is a close fight). Freitas lacked heart IMO, if he was losing he seemed to give up. He'd probably be another NoMasChenko.

 

Lol! McGregor got real prissy when Loma offered to spar him while he was getting ready for Captain iv.

“I’m more of a Rigobdeaux man myself. I feel... he’s not applicable to this camp. He needs to concentrate on making that Rigo fight happen.”

He got ellerbe prissy there! Well almost.

 

Big Egis would have recorded a schooling that would have had McGregor go into hiding for a bit. It would have been worse than the TJ Dillashaw tape
