Sturm was never put to sleep u idiot The one tko loss he has, he remained on his feet and the ref waved it off, sturm wasn't even dropped in that fight...
i'm not surprised sturm has never been put to sleep. he is the very definition of a paper titlist who has consciously avoided the best MW's throughout his entire career so he can get rich at home he is someone boxing doesn't need
yes to the result (Oscar was never a MW) ...and no, to "he went to America" - he was lured there by a mega-payday, then got right back on a plane to Germany after being handed the easiest meal ticket to a US profile in the history of the sport - a prime time, PPV top-spot against cash cow, Oscar de la hoya! if that fight didn't cement his intention to never fight at top MW, I don't know what would have
Maybe his paper mache skin will prove to be his downfall, we'll see. I very much doubt he has a glass jaw, he has never been put over in the amateurs and has faced some great amateur fighters!
The shape of someone's head has nothing to do wit their punch resistance, there's no evidence of this and far too many fighters that show otherwise to even consider this as a possibility. Lomachenko is obviously an amazing talent, but as MrMagic said though he looks like he might cut easily, remains to be seen though.
It's hard to tell how good a guy's chin is based off the shape of their head, but I think it's safe to say George Chuvalo had a strong looking chin http://www.eastsideboxing.com/fotos/chuvalo33535.jpg
What's up with people feeling all threatened by Lomachenko? The Loma is GOAT threads are annoying as fawk too. Dude has had one pro fight, there is no evidence of him having a glass chin, or an iron chin. Insecure mutherfawkers...
Well said. Lomo is a brilliant prospect with much to prove. However, some of the criticism he has taken-- "he gets hit too easily" ect-- bespeaks either a low boxing IQ or an agenda.
Yes because you had being down it doesn't mean you have a glass chin, Rigondeaux if I recall correctly had never been stopped in over 400 fights, he is being down twice but never hurt, and nonitowas 16 pounds bigger than him just like marroquin, stop with that nonsense about glass chins, so now Lara has a bad chin because he went down twice against angulo?
Are you denying Loma stays covered up too long? Are you denying he doesn't cover his body well? Are you denying he doesn't back straight up?
