Lomachenko by decision or perhaps stoppage, it all depends..............but Lomachenko is by far the superior boxer!
Hope this ends up being made. I think Loma wins either a closish decision, or a late stoppage due to Linares' chin or skin weaknesses.
I wondered where you had been KiwiMan, I've been around a couple days and this is the first I'm seeing you. How you been my friend?
Nice to hear from you again! I'm well but extremely busy with work now and for the next two weeks, hence I haven't been particularly active on here lately. How are you?
Doing well, better than expected so I've come back around to hang with my old chums and talk boxing. No one in my real life watches the sport or even has half a clue who any current fighters are, so here I am I figured I'd hang around and chat with pals here with all the exciting fights and happenings in the boxing world while I still feel up to it. Are you getting excited for AJ vs Parker, it's coming up real soon? I've seen several folks on here give Parker a real chance, how do you think it will play out? It's good to see you again.
Glad to hear I'll be rooting hard for Parker, but I don't see the fight going his way. I expect Joshua to be dominant in the first couple of rounds, but Parker covering up and running enough to avoid getting stopped early. Besides, he has a good chin. Parker is too good not to have his moments, and I think he'll have a little success midway through the fight when Joshua eases up a bit. But I think Joshua turns it on again later, I think by round 6-9 Parker will have taken a lot of punishment and will get pulled out, TKO'ed, or Brit-stopped.
Linares is actually a high risk, low reward fight, but very limited options for Loma Linares had a long journey to get to this point, so Loma better be prepared for a bloody fight...
