Loma v Linares

those 2 are too big, they would stop him

 

Sorry mate, it was the ‘easy’ bit I was disputing.

Garcia started off at 126ib just like Loma. They are the same height & similar build. Garcia is quite fleshy at the higher weights. I don’t believe he is bigger at all. I’m a Garcia fan so I’m not knocking him.
Crawford is the bigger man though. I have always believed that the good big man will always beat a good smaller man...but Lomachenko has made me reevaluate that haha.

 

have you seen the picture of loma and mikey side by side? garcia is much bigger and his head is massive compared to Loma's

 

Yeah, i seen the YouTube clip I would still say they were a very similar size. At that point Garcia had just fought Broner and Loma was operating at 130ib, so there was going to be a difference but Garcia was just fleshy & admitted himself that he’s not a 140ib.

 

Finally watched the fight.

High, high, high quality stuff.

Credit and massive respect to Jorge.

Linares is one of the best fighters in the world.... Lomachenko is just something else completely.

Without doubt we are looking at one of the best fighters who has ever lived.

 

It’s like he’s added an extra dimension to boxing. His style is completely unique. There is nothing to compare it to.

 

After the fight with Linares, Lomachenko will be a much better fighter, he learns easily. Garcia does not have the power at 140, just isn't the same fighter at that weight. Lomachenko is much more skilled and Mikey does not want to fight him..................

 

Yeah definitely. His movement, the way he spins off is so deceiving. Lomas work rate and conditioning is exceptional. Must have one of the hardest and unique training regimes of all time.

He is an absolute joy.

 

Im a fan of Garcia also but I think Loma is every kind of wrong for him. though there aint really anyone out there he is "right" for !! Garcia is a timing fighter and Loma would completely throw him.

The only person that beats Loma IMO is someone bigger than him with huge workrate, someone who will take a few punches on the way in to get on his chest and pound away. doesnt have to be pretty just relentless. Anyone remotely the same size as Loma aint gonna have much luck i think.

 

Crawford is excellent, but likes to coast, and although it’s possible it’s a bridge to far size wise for Lomachenko, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Lomachenko won.

Garcia, likewise excellent, but I’d absolutely expect Lomachenko to beat him.

Great fights I’d love to see made.
Lomachenko is something very very special.
I’d love Pacquaio Loma at 140 or around that weight.

 

Jurgen to perform like he did also just shows he different level .there is world class then there is elite special fighter. He only loses to size nothing else and TBH still think he could go up 140 dominate

 

Was a fantastic fight joy watch and both deserve massive credit for way both fought and for taking it first place both could easily have avoided each other but want face best to be the best. fair play

 

It's a labrum tear resulting from a temporary dislocation. His shoulder was not dislocated throughout the fight and he will recover full use of the arm. Expect him to be out for 3 months and ready to fight in 6.

I doubt he even realised until after the fight had finished.
