Lomachenko would take him into the Matrix and No Mas him, NO PROBLEM.. Stevenson had better keep Loma's name out of his mouth for another year or two until Loma loses another step because that fight wouldn't be competitive now..
Yep, before last night i thought Loma vs Shakur would be competitive. Turns out Shakur has 0 power, which is the only way to deter Loma. Skill wise, there’s a huge gap. Loma by TKO
Lets see it. So many fights can be made around 135-140, but we need to start seeing them. Also, lets not under rate Conceicao. Once Stevenson leaves the weight class, theres not many guys I see beating him at 130.
Loma is 5'7'' compared to Robson who is 5'11''. It's a completly different matchup for Stevenson who is 5'8'' but a lot bigger than Loma. Stevenson could fight at Super Light but drains himself to 130 pounds. And he has trouble making that weight anymore as we saw this week. Loma is a natural 126er. I don't think Shakur beats him easily but i'd definitely favor Stevenson. Loma has all the skills to beat ANYONE but he lacks strength and physicality at 130/135. The loss to Lopez was pretty bad in hindsight. I know people will say Loma was injured but i don't care. He had a good second half in that fight but Lopez slowed down so i doubt the injury was that bad. Overall people just don't see that all those young guys like Haney, Lopez, Shakur, Tank or even Garcia are BIG as **** for those weight classes. They're young and strong and they could fight two weight classes above their current divisions while Loma already fighting two weight classes above. I said it before...Loma is going to lose again at 135 if he faces those young and big guys who have some skills like Haney, Lopez or Shakur. I'm a Loma fan but not blind.
Stevenson is very skilled, but he gets frustrated easily. I remember when he didn't win the Olympic Gold he was crying, hopefully he doesn't have that Zab Judah syndrome
It wasn't the skill of Lopez that troubled Loma, but the power combined with Loma not wanting to exacerbate his injury and end up losing via injury TKO. An injury free Loma tears through all three of them, especially Haney and Stevenson, who cannot hurt him.
I didn't say the skill of Lopez troubled Loma. I did say Lopez isn't very skilled and still troubled Loma with his size, strength and power. I also doubt that Lopez hits that hard. I don't think anyone of those guys hits particulary hard (Lopez, Haney, Shakur). I don't debate the "Injury talk" about Loma in that fight. We'll never find out if it was reason why he lost. Loma fans will say YES. Some will say YES and NO. And the Loma haters obviously follow the NO. I'm not saying YES or NO. I just say Loma will struggle with those bigger guys and while has the skills to make those fights close and equal the difference in size and strength, i still doubt he'd beat guys like Haney, Shakur or even Lopez in a rematch clearly. I think those fights will be competitive like the Lopez fight was. Saying otherwise is just fan talk in my opinion. If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. If Loma was healthy he'd be still the Champ? Who knows. I hope we find out and one of those fights happen in the near future.
You mean the injury that affected him very much the first half of the fight, stopped bothering him the second half of the fight, then started bothering him again in the 12th round?
The problem with this logic is that what we know of Lomachenko has been against bigger guys already. This might be worth mentioning if Loma what moving up to fight bigger guys but he's already doing that. So giving Stevenson extra points for being bigger is a bit ignorant IMO.
