Lomachenko recognizes the truth!

Jesus, Blizz, you're better than this, surely?

Mayweather faced a total string of cans in his first 11 fights. His 11th fight was this guy:

Felipe Garcia 14-23-0

Of such opponents, greatness is made Surel he's better than this can:

Ricardo Lopez 51 wins, no losses > Mayweather only 50 wins??

 

I bet Floyd is shitting in his pants at this guy:

41-0, 40KO. OMFG! Will he be able to surpass Mayweather?

My gut says YES!!!

Bezerra will be the GOAT

 

I can understand that, my statement was a bit vague. Let me elaborate. There is a big difference between fighters giving it a 100% go and making the opponent work a little, before quitting, and what Walters did. Having followed Walters career for a while, he didn't come close to giving half an effort in that fight. He lost me as a fan, and made himself look like a total chump. Rigondeaux came into the ring looking to give it a go, but hurt his hand, and packed it in mentally, and stopped punching back. Marriaga, the lesser skilled of the three, put in the best effort of the three for a few rounds before quitting. Limited as he is, he tried to implement a gameplan, and you could tell he had even worked on some things in camp, specifically for Lomachenko.

I've been around long enough to recall seeing name boxers in the early 80s fight on regular TV. Mike Tyson was the baddest man on the planet the short period he was in his prime. As was Jones Jr.

I think Davis is a good fight for Lomachenko down the line, the same way that I said Canelo would be a good fight down the line for Floyd. Canelo should have never fought Floyd when he was 22, or 23, the same way that Davis shouldn't fight Lomachenko at 22 or 23. Both are talents, but not the type of talents that are matured enough to face a top pound for pound guy at that point of their careers. Floyd states that Davis wants Lomachenko, but Floyd isn't letting it happen for a while. Lomachenko's resume isn't very tough either. His best opponent he fought several years ago, and two of his recent opponents were a 122 pounder, and a 126 pounder.

I wouldn't fault Lomachenko if he stays at 130. Fight where you are comfortable. I think he has the type of talent to move up and have some success. It's not like Arum will not protect him when he moves up in weight.

If I was Mikey, I'd have been salivating to take Easter out, after seeing him get a questionable decision against Shafikov. Easter is a guy to fight right now, before he realizes his own potential. He's been stinking it up a bit lately. I don't expect that funk to last much longer though, he is a young fighter.

Loma clearly beat Russell Jr, not sure what the one judge was watching. It wasn't an arse whooping though. Outside of a Berchelt fight, a rematch with Russell Jr, is the fight I want to see most.

 

I’m not saying Loma has surpassed Bud. The point I was trying to make is that Loma does not need to chase Mikey. I’m okay with Loma cleaning out 130, giving Salido a good payday to avenge his defeat, and having a long reign at 130. I would’ve been okay with Bud doing the same and don’t understand why everyone needs to move up to prove themselves.

Mikey needs to quit calling out Loma and meet Easter Jr. who clearly wants the fight.

 

Lomachenko is number 1 he just abused a top 10 p4p fighter. People are avoiding him like the plague. 4 opponents in a row have quit on their stool.

That's what you look for a special type of talent

 

That’s true. Loma chose to step up early on in his career and he did lose. But when has it been frowned upon for a boxer to take risks and to challenge themselves? Isn’t that exactly what we ask them to do? Especially when they are world champions and have special qualities and attributes that make them stand out.

Losing isn’t a career ending event. Not everyone can’t be Rocky, Floyd or Lopez. The great Bernard Hopkins lost his first fight as a pro. Almost all great fighters lose simply because they challenge themselves and push their limits in their careers. That’s a characteristic of a truly great competitor.

It’s hard to wrap my head around 4 pro boxers at this level quitting, so I hear you. But I have seen enough from Loma to realize he’s a great boxer with a unique style that other boxers haven’t seen before. It’s creating a lot of in Ring frustration because nothing they trained for in camp prepared them for what they experienced inside the ring.

I don’t assume all the sudden that his comp is suspect when those same boxers were never “suspect” before in their 25, 30 fight professional careers

 

I agree with you on a lot of things, namely that Canelo shouldn’t have fought Floyd. It was a bad style match up for him, no matter how mature he was/is.

My beef with Davis and other young fighters is this. If you’re not ready to fight EVERYONE in your weight class, do not fight for a title. It’s okay, take your time to properly develop to a point where you feel ready for ANYONE.

As a top level amateur and Olympic bronze medalist, Floyd knows exactly what kind of problem Loma is. I seriously doubt he wants Davis anywhere near Loma. Loma’s ready for ANYBODY at 130...fact. Berchelt is the only one I see at 130 with the cajones to face him.

I agree with your assessment on Easter Jr. I also think he was lucky to get the win against Commey. He did show a lot of heart in that fight though. Something tells me Robert sees something in Easter Jr. that gives him pause about putting Mikey in with him.

Loma already proved his point with GRJ. Haymon needs to let him fight more than once a year before he thinks about a rematch with Loma. An ideal fight for him is Davis, since they’re both from the DMV. GRJ should also forget about Lee Selby, who doesn’t really seem to want it with him.

 

I didn't think Commey did a damn thing in that fight, outside of Rocking Easter in one round.

 

Right...

So a Ghanaian fighter travels to Pennsylvania to fight on a PBC card, against an undefeated PBC fighter, from nearby Toledo, Ohio, and loses a split decision by scores of 115-112, 114-113, and 114-113, but he didn’t do anything.

 

Rewatch the fight and tell me what rounds Commey won? He was slow, and very primitive, very crude in his technique. You know judges sitting ringside don't always get it right. Look at how the judges gave Donaire more than one round in the Rigondeaux fight, and that fight was fairly easy to score.

 

I didn’t judge the fight, but I do remember enjoying it. Commey gave a good effort and Easter dug down deep to hold him off for a legit win. My point with the scores was to say that Commey clearly did more than you’re giving him credit for.

 

What rounds did you see him win? What rounds did he outland Easter?

 

salido doe

 

Are you going to pay me to rewatch the fight?

 

Once Jeff Horn batters Crawford senseless this becomes redundant.
