    Don't expect a boxing media person who's never been in the ring to tell you why Lomo makes boxers quit

    I think to understand it best; I believe need to spend some time in the ring.

    Boxing is the ultimate truth sport. And to be truthful, there are dozens of varieties of getting your will bent to the point of abandonment.

    We've all seen boxing matches where fighters opt out of doing what they need to win, limit risk, or play stinker to go the distance. We've also seen fighters take breaks, either mentally or physically.

    In a way, all of the above is a lower level form of quitting.

    We've also seen many winners who opt to play it safe and coast to victory if their opponents choose to stop doing what they need to win.

    What does this have to do with Lomachenko? I'll tell you. He won't allow his opponent to opt out of attacking or play defensive/stink out the joint. He won't let opponents take moments off to catch their breaths. And recently he won't even allow his opponents to clinch.

    No, no no!

    He won't take his foot off the gas pedal either. Instead, he ups the ante with world class speed and skills forcing his opponent to confront him for the full three minutes with the ability to hit you with any punch at any distance, in addition to the best footwork ever that allows him to quickly circle around and attack fighters blind side.

    When you take away fighters choices to play it " play it safe " and are down any rounds it must be an incredibly unfordable feeling in the ring.

    So they eventually end up quitting.

    You’re right, he just dominates them so completely that they lose their will to fight. It’s like a torture.

    A big power puncher can just end it if you want out of a fight. Not with Loma.

    I remember seeing this clip of him in the amateurs. He was doing his normal routine. The opponent at one point just put his arms up while getting hit as if to say “Wtf am I supposed to do?”

    Nicolino Locche may have been close to Loma in skills....but fighting down in South America, few of his opponents would just quit like Rigo ended up doing.
    1968-12-12 : Nicolino Locche 138½ lbs beat Takeshi Fuji 139¾ lbs by RTD at 0:05 in round 10 of 15
    "Nicolino Locche hopelessly outclassed Paul Fuji Thursday night and pounded him into a between-rounds surrender to win the junior welterweight title before 10,000 shocked fans at Tokyo's Kuramae Stadium. Hawaiian-born Fuji collpased on his stool at the end of the terrible 9th round - in which the Argentine pounded him at will, as Locche had done from the opening bell. Ready to continue his desperate efforts, Fuji's seconds, looking at the welts that shut both eyes, ruled otherwise. Five seconds after the bell sounded for the 10th, Locche was declared a knockout winner by Japanese rules that ban a TKO unless the losing fighter's injuries were inflicted by an accidental butt. There were no knockdowns. Locche was warned twice for open-glove hitting and Fuji once for butting." -Pacific Stars & Stripes
