Lomachenko was ducking Alberto Machado apparently!

Linares (on a good/lucky night) > Pedraza > Linares (on an off/unlucky night) > Machado.

 

Who is everyone?

 

Lomachenko left 130 with Berchelt, Machado who had just beaten Corrales, Davis,and Farmer all solid opponents. Machado getting his arse whooped this past weekend, doesn't negate that fact. Furthermore, funny how people want to trash Machado, but then want to defend Linares from getting spit out in one round against a fringe contender.

 

Apparently...

 

I don't know how you guys find Berchelt as potential opponent to Lomachenko. But the more I see him fight, the more less impressed I have been. I'm not saying that he is a bad fighter, but surely some people here have been overrated him like someone who will knock Loma out cold. Thought he was Barrera-level, but apparently not even close.

Sure, the guy has a great strength, durable to punch, have great pressuring style that according to some people that it might be Loma's achilles heel. However, his technical level is very much below Loma's and quite a one-dimensional fighter. His punching speed isn't really that fast either. There's one match that really tells it all : his match against Miura. He failed to dominate the fight, missed quite a number of big swings, and got hit a LOT, and by simple jabs and hooks too. His best fight is probably against Roman who he really dominated, but Roman is hardly a high class opponent. The guy is shorter in size and reach, very limited tools and also an opponent of same style but with almost no gameplan.
