I don't see Mikey beating Loma.

At the time of the stoppage the fight was a Split Draw.. Linares main advantage was his size and due to that he was able to absorb more than he would against a normal lightweight..

 

Right now I'd make Loma a slight favorite at 135 and Mickey a slight favorite at 140. If Mikey goes up to face Spence, Loma would be a clear favorite at 135, but I wouldn't expect Mikey to want to go down two divisions.

 

No way was it a draw. Loma had won every round except for the round where he got knocked down. I don’t care how the judges had it...Loma was clearly ahead.

 

He was starting to climb all over him imo

 

This is definitely a fact.. the point I’m trying to make is that at 130 Loma Beats Mikey hands down.. at 135 Loma is maxed out and the effects on his punches and his punch resistance are not the same.. Linares is not as skilled or no where near as strong as Mikey but he still dropped Loma and fought a good fight due to the size difference.. At 135 Mikey vs Loma is a 50/50 fight

 

How can it be a duck chasing Spence instead of Loma right this moment when there is zero chance of the fight happening this year. Here is the link to the interview with qoutes as well as Loma speaking in a 22 min video.

“After a period of not fighting, it would be stupid of me to step right in there against Mikey. Of course, I’d like to fight someone like Beltran,” Lomachenko said. “Beltran would be easier than Mikey.

“I’m as interested in fighting Mikey Garcia as you are [in seeing it]. That bout is going to happen. It’s just a matter of time.”

Loma just had surgery and wants a tune up, fair play to him because he hasn't used his arm for an extended period.

 

Loma doesn't have to be demanding the Mikey fight next for Mikey to be considered avoiding him by chasing Spence. If Mikey impressively beats Beltran and Mikey has another defence, despite promotional difficulties I would expect demand to grow enough that strong efforts would be made for Loma-Mikey for the spring. While if Mikey fights Spence that's a detour and holdup from a Loma fight. Keep in mind especially while Mikey can remain fit and able to make 135 if he stays at lightweight, he has become a big lightweight and doesn't make weight too easily anymore, and if he moves to welter he could well be leaving lightweight for good. For that and the other reasons I stated the fight would be less likely, and if it remains possible doesn't happen before three fights from now. Mikey going down a path that makes him less able or willing to fight Loma is an implicit duck.

 

6 weeks out from Lipenets he was recorded at 170. He also recently said he doesn't do weight training, just boxing and roadwork.

So it will be easier for him to lose weight than someone that packs muscle to go up in weight.

 

Inability to cut of the ring was a big one. Easter would at times do a 360 around the ring before either settling down or finally getting cut off.
Another big issue was the lack of head movement. Easter landed a lot of jabs just because Mikey would not move his head.

 

Mikey would be a huge problem for Loma, really close fight but Mikey isn’t a walk in the park for anybody.

 

LMFAO,
Oh now loma "fractured his shoulder" the he did, sure buddy

 

I favor Lomachenko. The reason is that Loma will go to work while Mikey will wait to pick spots.

 

I guess Easter is s bum I'm your book?
He's a solid B- fighter that can look like solid B+ vs the right opposition.

Mikey broke him down perfectly, what was wrong with Mikey performance to you?

 

You're way over rating loma, I'm not positive loma beats Easter Jr never mind blowing him oro and stopping him in 8.

Wtf, salido and especially Linares should had taught you a lot and should had put many new questions in your head.

Like how badly have I been user rating Ioma considering he's never fought the best in the divisions he's cherry picked his title holders opponents...

Even cherry picking like no other still LOST to salido, a level NO elite fighter EVER loses to by decision. That can't be excused away. Getting caught and stopped can be, being beaten up over 12 rounds cannot be.

Even if you had him winning, like myself. There's no excuse to be so even with an already past it was driven salido...

 

CmC'm, every round??? So every close round, even they close rounds linares had more success and had the clear edge ate given to loma ???

Is it possible to win a round vs loma on you card without knocking him down???
