Lomachenko's Skills Are Extraordinary, But His Boxing Fundamentals Are Just Good.

Reflexes start declining about early 30s. He has about 4/5 years of physical prime left IMO.. His boxing brain will keep him at a high level long after too should he continue. All good..

 

He's smart enough to adapt once the physical gifts decline, but I agree that he uses those gifts now to get away with moves other boxers can't/shouldn't. Another example is the fluid shifting he'll do while still in the opponent's range. That's usually a recipe to get knocked down because balance is compromised.

Ali and Roy were two others who were able to get very right results even when they fought "wrong" fundamentally. He's got such defensive skill that I don't think he'll drop off a cliff like Roy did, but we'll probably see a more methodical offense when the time comes.

 

The minute he fights someone good hes gonna get ktfo chump only had ten fights against other chumps.

 

i've seen a lot of your comments on threads and are you sure you should be on the internet? someone of your mental disposition should be kept away from public forums

 

He's not that gifted athletically. It's pure skill.

Anyone who's been in the ring knows how hard it is to pull off what he does and it's not based on atheltecism. Pac is atheletically very gifted, so is RJJ, floyd mixes the 2. Loma isn't flashy, doesn't have very heavy hands, his speed doesn't remind me of any fast twitch fighters - he's just got a great gauge on distance, movement and the subtlety of it and reflexes (which is acquired from repetition).

Whereas someone like Pac or rjj will jump from a to b using his athleticism to get out of punches, loma will slip slightly, set his feet position correctly so that he's in a perfect position to counter whilst still seeing incoming punches.

 

Your right i should be having sex with your mother please tell a admin so they can ban me

 

then you haven't seen guys like mirko, liquidfire BCS to name a few

 

You corgot to mention his moms the town hoe

 

i've seen some of Mirko's comments but to my knowledge they don't come close to this. i don't think they're a troll, i think they're genuinely ill, so i'm just gonna give him/her a wide berth from now on

 

well then you haven't seen enough then, this guy is mild compared to the troll mirko is, one of the worst you'll ever find

 

Given his weight class and his style I'd say Loma has 1-3 years left of being in physical prime. Guys who rely on lateral movement can hold off the physical erosion until about 30 or 31 at the latest.

24-29 is the time when most guys who use Loma's style make their mark. He's had a little late start given his style. A guy like Kovalev or Marquez a pure classic boxer-puncher have A LOT more time to stay at their best.

 

Besides relying on lateral movement and being a southpaw I see little similarity between Pac and Loma.
