    Exactly. There is nothing wrong with noting that what happened last night legitimately raises questions about Lomachenko's ability to take a punch. The answers to those questions will come in subsequent fights.

    Very solid chin, he was never hurt in his career, one flash knockdown after which there was no signs of being hurt.
    Been on the deck once in the amaterus as well.

    He's not been hurt at all at any point. Anybody can be knocked down, particularly when you go in against guys that much bigger than you.

    Not bad. I'm surprised you had Pac as high as you did, and I'm a LITTLE surprised you had Mesi ahead of Wilder.

    He got punched in the face with a straight right....which gives us no information whatsoever about his ability to take a punch to the chin. Let's see his reaction to a hard hook right on the chin...which hasn't happened yet.

    Only an idiot would question his chin. That was a big, clean shot from a bigger stronger man. Fun fight to watch but outside of that shot Loma pretty much dominated and looked incredible as usual. Would love to see him in against Mikey.

    Mikey would test that mandible, no doubt!
