Leigh Wood vs. Mauricio Lara Acosta & Dalton Smith vs. Billy Allington RBR.

To be fair, no one outside of the hard cores knew who he was back then

 

The future of ducking, cherrypicking and smoke and mirrors, Olu.

 

I'm entitled to my facts about him too and fact is he's been shamelessly, undeniably, and completely indefensibly ducking Loma like crazy for most of his career even though Loma has called him out many times for years and years, the fight would be in his country with a home ref and three home judges where he only has to make it to the final bell to get his hand raised and Loma would get robbed again, there are plenty of receipts for all of this, and you know goddamn well he's been shamelessly ducking Loma forever.

I don't care two hoots about his numbers he turns 29 in November and he hasn't been within sniffing distance of an elite fighter in his entire 10 plus years smoke & mirrors career.

His best opponent in over a decade is still to this day Pedraza who Loma picked for his first fight back just seven months after shoulder surgery when he wasn't near his best, had been strongly advised by his surgeon not to return that soon, and who also instructed him to devise a game plan which revolved around not throwing the most powerful punch in his arsenal. Loma saw Pedraza as a warm up opponent even though he was a reigning world champion at his weight.

What are you talking about Loma has given up on trying to entice that clucking ducking chicken out of the coop.

Loma turns 36 in January and well past his best but he's still not old and past it enough to imbue Twink with the courage to leave the coop

Tank 2019: ''Loma an old man. I'll retire him''

Devin Haney 2020: ''Loma is too old too slow''


Floyd 2019: ''Lomachenko needs to fight as many fights as possible, extremely quick!, because he's very very old''


Loma was very very old in 2019 but Floyd still wouldn't contemplate putting Twink in there with him. Even when Loma offered to fight him for free they still wanted zero smoke.
