Yes and as you said Kambosis is not Loma, but you need to understand A 35 year old Loma is no 32 year old Loma neither. Those 3 years can make a big difference, which we've seen in his last few fights.
I don’t know what you seen because Loma completely dominated Commey and Nakatani and that was less then 2 years ago.
He didn't dominate Ortiz, it was a close fight and most people were in awe of what Ortiz was able to do that night. Commey was a decent win. Ortiz was highly competitive.
I never said you did, but you did say Loma dominated Commey and Nakatani less than 2 years prior and that was before he fought Ortiz. So make your own conclusion.
You just said Loma hasn’t been the same in his last few fights which is not true because he dominated those fighters I mentioned. Loma was coming off a long layoff vs Ortiz so of course he wasnt gonna be his best. The man was out in Ukraine dealing with a war for Christ sake. And people are acting like Ortiz is some bum. Anyone who steps in the ring against Loma will be highly motivated to put on a good performance.
He didn't look the same in those fightS either despite what you'd like to think. There's been a subtle decline with Loma for a few years, and it showed even further with Ortiz who many on ESB felt wasn't even going to be remotely competitive (Not me), even with his ongoing issues with what's going on in the Ukraine. like I said agree or disagree, it doesn't matter to me just be here and give credit where its due win or lose.
I'm not a Loma hater at all, I've given praise to Loma for years on here. But i see that Avi, youre clearly a Loma fanatic, But I'm not blind neither and I see that Loma is past his best. If he pulls it off, ill give him full credit. I don't believe in this sport of boxing where you take damage for a living, that any fighter stepping in the ring to risk their life is worthy of anything less.
I’ll say this with confidence, Haney is not knocking out Loma and whoever is saying that has lost their marbles. If anything, Loma will KO Haney.
For what it's worth, JoJo isn't fighting in his natural weight class either. JoJo looked quite small against Haney too. This content is protected 4 maybe 5 rounds is a lot..... do you really think Loma can't turn that into 7 or 8? As far as Lomachenko being hugged the entire fight, that might be a problem for most fighters, but one of Loma's specialties is breaking hold. In fact, he usually turns that into a vulnerability for his opponent. Because they're not expecting him to slip out of it so easily, and it leaves them temporarily open to combinations on the inside. Don't let Loma in that door, because he'll make you pay for it.
Lomo will "suddenly looks old" and Haney wins by a comfortable decision. The age difference, the weight difference, Haneys skills and the 300+ amateur fights behind him will make for a bad ending for the Ukrainian.
Loma is definitely coming with his A game and I don't think that he is slipping. He has just been fighting a better breed of fighter than he was when he first came into the pros. I still think that Haney will win but it won't be no picnic.
hes obviously slipping judging by his recent performances. Every fighter ages at some point. better breed of fighter? hes been fighting the best all his career! from the amateurs to Salido and Russell Jr in his 2nd and 3rd pro fights to Rigondeaux/Walters/Martinez to Linares /Lopez/Campbell.
