Past fighters stylistically similar to Lomachenko?

Doesn't punch like Zudah, and Willie didn't mark up quite so easily. But not an awful comparison.

 

Yeah, that's a good comparison.

 

Seems like a mash-up of Sweet Pea and Meldrick to me.

I have a tough time coming up with a comp that doesn't involve two fighters.

 

Whitaker to some extemt, maybe a young Camacho

 

His fast footwork and use of angles is reminiscent of Rocky Marcy versus Lastarza.

 

I see alot of Whittaker, Pep and a little playful version of Camacho but to be honest his footwork surpasses all of them....as of now his ability to stand in the face of dangerous fighters and make fools of them with just movement and playing with them even a smaller and faster Rigondeaux couldn't deal with it and I think he will prove himself as one of the ATG's in any weight class he is just missing the numbers of fights.

 

With a dash of Da Preem.

 

Manny Pacquiao and Orlando Canizales

 

A southpaw Finito Lopez.

 

Lomachencko is a multitalented boxer. Usually, the very fleet-footed and fast fighters do not engage their opponents as often as he does, nor do they entertain or get as many stoppages.

He's got the footwork of Pep
The aggression and skills of Duran
The durability and stamina of Armstrong
The speed and reflexes of Mayweather

There is a quote that no man has everything. Perhaps that true, but there's little Lomo is missing, aside from maybe top end power.

He's also old school in approach to his career. Rather refreshing. He won't avoid the best. He seeks them.

 

Henry Armstrong? The Featherweight who became a lightweight and welter weight world champion? And then went up and had a go at Middle weight?
Can you see Loma at Middle? He'll likely never even go as far at 147.

As it stands now the jury is out out on his durability and punch resistance. His ability to take a shot off a puncher is unknown right now.
He still has a lot to prove before he gets compared to Duran , Mayweather and Henry Armstrong.

 

Top end power appears to be missing....he has not gone into Hunter killer mode yet...he loves playing with very good fighters which is crueler IMO than the way Duran hurt fighters....Loma takes there soul and heart by playing and tapping just humiliating them with skill. Right now he is in the RJJ dilemma a special so dominant that he may not meet his match leaving the question he can dish it out but can he take it how big is his heart if roles were reversed? He is mentally tough IMO can he prove the will to win against adversity?

 

I have a feeling that he isn’t the most durable. I don’t like the level of resistance I see when opponents hit him on the guard.

With a guy like Loma, what happens if he gets staggered? I doubt he can keep up he same style in that condition.

Lomas style requires him to be essentially perfect. Or perhaps he can make adjustments, we just have to see.

 

Boxers with his style typically have huge hearts. Lomo could play keep away and win easy if he wanted too. He doesn't. This suggest a top heart for battle and a top chin. In 400+ fights, Lomo has never been stopped, or perhaps even down!

Jones didn't like to mix it, as he was hiding a suspect chin.

But your right. Lomo takes their heart. Fighters can't coast, or defend against him. Or most recently even clinch. A reason why his opponents quit. Never saw footwork like Lomo's, he circles around as if he was on speedy rails, attacking the blind side and he's a killer to the body.
