Lomachenko vs De La Hoya at 135

Oscar wins. Possibly by (T)KO.

 

ODLH was much faster, taller, and was considered a power puncher at 135. If Linares was able to tag him and even time him for a KD, I don't see Lomachenko eascaping the wrath DLH brought at LW.

 

DLH was on another level, no debate here.

 

I would favor Oscar here. This division suits him more than Loma and DLH was a strong lightweight in his prime years. A good decision win for Oscar is likely.

 

Oscar beats him for sure, possibly a tko.

 

ODH jab would give Loma real problems and Oscar is skilled enough to hang on a technical level he also had great chin.
Sure his right hand was never great but when your power hand is jabbing someones head off and you have a world class left hook and a massive reach advantage I could see Oscar giving Loma plenty of problems.

 

ODLH and probably by stoppage. Oscar was a massive LW and finished his career at MW. Loma started his career at FW and is probably maxed out at LW. Probably the worst weight for each fighter in their careers.

Loma is so skilled, talented, fluid, and fast that I think he gives anyone in history from 126-135 all hell and find it highly unlikely he gets blown out by anyone from those weights, I think Oscar himself is too big and skilled for him to overcome and I think in the later rounds ODLH stops him.

I do not think it is a foregone conclusion ODLH beats Loma or destroys him. ODLH certainly has his flaws that Loma could badly exploit - too stiff/rigid/mechanical nd slow feet.

 

Loma starts calling Oscar Daddy

 

You guys always talking about someone's "daddy" just makes you sound like a ****ing teenybopper...

 

You were mistaken. It happens to everyone. I could repeat what everyone else has said but they covered it perfectly.

 

I never thought of Oscar as stiff in his early career. I thought he was impossible to deal with when he boxed on his toes, which he could do beautifully. Here he is unifying Loma’s division against a ruelas who was 43-1-0 at the time, he was no cupcake. This is what loma would be facing. Just look at the size of these guys. Took him a round and a half to land a finisher.

Dont you know the rule? A great big man beats a great little man. Unfortunately for Loma hes tiny. If he were even just FlIVds size 5`8 70inch reach id pick him over Oscar and he`d probably be unbeatable until he got old.

 

Oscar was a huge 135lb fighter.

He must weigh close to 200lbs even now lookikg at him.

 

I was genuinely shocked seeing the posts on here.

I'm not saying Oscar is a bad pick, I'm just surprised how one sided that pick has been.

Oscar was a beast at LW but so is Loma.

It's a real close fight but I give the edge to Loma here.
