    Then I guess they need to start organizing fighters into "frame" and "reach" catagories.

    Yes that was a quality win, and Russell is a good fighter, should have been UD.

    I don't think stopping a 135lb Linares in your first fight there is something to be looked down upon. It was a quality win.

    Does getting stopped at 140 take the sheen off a bit? Probably.. Does it really matter? No. Lomachenko got the job done & has moved on..

    As it stands in 13 fight's though his best win is still probably GRJ. Though there is talk of Miguel Berchelt moving up & being a possible match up soon too...

    Loma has a few more years left yet to keep forging his legacy. His resume has incredible depth for 13 fight's..

    And? He's bigger than Loma now.
    Loma can make 126, Linares can't make 135 anymore.

    lmao, some feelings being hurt around here. still stuck on the first stage, denial. for many, linares became a beast as soon as he signed to fight loma... even mikey was ducking him, lol. for the rest, linares was a decent test for a fighter moving up in weight and loma cleared the hurdle, thats all.
    the excuses are hilarious, though. the lengths a fanboy will go to swing off some nuts is amazing.

    It's because Loma is under such intense scrutiny & held to higher standard's than most, it's highlighted more. But over all it's not that big of a deal really, you can do it with any fighter. Example:

    ODH.

    Ruelas, Leija, Paez, Quartey etc all went onto lose IMMEDIATELY after facing the gender fluid coke head..

    You can do this with many great fighter's.

    A lot guys tried to build Linares as this p4p guy, Linares has always and will always be a b level guy with a dodgy chin and skin. He is the light weight amir Khan.

    He should fight Miguel Berchelt also and at least make up somewhat for his loss to Salido if he manages to beat Berchelt.

    This. They also don’t think people with actual sense remember that Loma tore his shoulder early in that fight while he was lighting Linares up. :lol: Same ones that don’t think we remember Loma whooped Rigo with speed, movement and superior intelligence. “The weight beat Rigo doe!”

    He's not bigger. They were the same size on fight night. People who want to pretend Linares is some huge monster that dwarfed Lomachenko are idiot fanboys who see what they want to see.

    What a ridiculous double standard: pretending that one guy is moving up to be great and another guy doing the same exact thing is only moving up because he can't make weight anymore. They are the same ****ing size.
