POLL: Vasyl Anatoliyovich Lomachenko Vs. Masayoshi Nakatani (中谷正義)

Loma by smoked ribs.

 

Just don't get fkin injured again .. the japs like a bigger less skilled Pedraza but with a more aggressive attitude.. interesting style clash, be a good gauge of how much of Loma is left..

 

He’s hated because he got robbed against Salido, who cheated in more ways than 1, and for losing a tight fight in which he came on late and was clearly taking over.

If he was any color than whet, he’d get zero hate.

 

Loma beat Lopez tho (I had Loma winning rounds 2,6,7,8,9,10, and 11)

 

The skill level between these two is vast, Loma is far and away the better fighter. However the size difference is also massive, I wonder what Nakatani will walk into the ring at , full blown welterweight? higher? The way to go is with Loma in a matchup like this , but there is a live dog component here and I wouldn't be stunned by Loma getting physically over powered at some point.

 

Sure.
26-27 y.o Loma was making 126 lbs without any problems and looked fresh.

 

really? as one of lomas stans, youre surprised? he was walking on water around here before teo brought reality back. you dont think a shoulder injury excuse is enough for the same devotees? i mean, he got fouled too much, wasnt. lets be real about it, loma will get competition from all the best fighters in this division, he aint no masing anyone anymore. im just hoping he still has the same reflexes and reaction time, cause thats 75% of his game.

 

Loma is the best LW in the world but he's injury prone.

Fighting a big rugged Jap is a great way to break another hand or rip the shoulder again.

IF Loma comes out of this injury free don't be surprised by a quick announcement of Loma v. Lopez PPV in Sep or Oct.

Lopez v. Kombozo mismatch being cancelled over embarrassing lack of ticket sales is bad bad bad. They know they can't do the numbers on ppv and actually pay these guys.

Everything lining up nicely.

 

you have a terrible memory. or maybe you have a different interpretation of the word hype. or maybe you just hate teo and other previous loma opponents when talking about what loma was going to do to them. doesnt really matter.

 

Loma feels like the obvious choice, but Nakatani can come on smaller guys late, and Loma keeps getting worse. I think Naka eventually lands a large one smack across the jaw and hurts Loma badly. Doesn’t necessarily mean he will win but it should be his fight from that point on. Depends on how early he catches him.

I definitely don’t think Loma has half a chance of KOing Naka.

 

I think Lomachenko wins but I'm rooting for Nakatani.
