Is there an argument to say that Loma is the best at working the body in boxing?

    He's got so many facets! I am jealous of that amount of talent! The web has had a collective meltdown this past weekend.. The group hugs, hash tags movements & collective mourning I've seen on Twitter, FB, YT etc is astonishing! Loma has nearly brought a March on Washington!

    Some of the stuff I've read!! 'Loma got hit he's overrated' etc loooll haters & casuals everywhere.. Of course he got hit, it's boxing lol & he was clearly fighting a much bigger guy, hence u have to take more risks to be more effective! The margins narrow as size disparities grow more pronounced & the skill level of your competition increases! Linares won two rounds! He also looked like a WW! Can anyone show me any great fighter's in history who haven't been tagged in there careers! Just one? It's impossible to find one! SRL, Hagler, Marciano Duran, Pac, Pernell got touched up, stopped or dropped by fighters who weren't even world class! Linares is elite level skill!

    Tards put unrealistic expectations on this kid, hold him to ridiculous standards! Loma backed that low blower up all night, danced in & out & styled on him for most of it! LOL Haters call me when you win two Olympic golds & win 3 weight status over 12 fights! Go polish his val Barker trophy & ring belt bitches! Ha ha ha ha teeny tiny Loma with an injured hand stopped acne back goldenboy WW Linares via beautiful body shot KO..

    LOL even when Linares dropped Loma was like yh ok good shot now watch this.. Turned it up even further!! LOL Great game plan, chop him down via the body, credit to his father!

    Not even Oscar could rob him! Beautiful performance, astonishing achievement, all hail the king! Great times :)

    Five (if I'm not mistaken) body knockouts in his 12 professional fights. So, yes, at least he's one of the best at working the body.

    Probably. Spence and Taylor get honourable mentions.

    Actually it's 4, I thought it was less than that but I forgot about his deadly bodyshot ko in his first pro bout, very impressive.

    But I can only think of 3

    Look at how Ramirez writhes in agony for both of the body shot KDs.

    And this one might be from a body shot too, although it might well have been one of the head shots that forced Rodriguez to take the knee.

    He floored Rodriguez earlier in the fight with a body shot too so we know he was really feeling the weight of Loma's body attack

    Yes, it is 3 or 4 — Gamalier Rodriguez' case is rather questionable. He was down because of accumulation of punches. Though plenty of those were body shots.

    Yes as I said, Rodriguez did take a knee earlier on in the fight from body shots so he was definitely feeling them. But it's hard to tell what he went down from the final time.
