Stir the pot a little, Crawford from the Gamboa fight vs tonights Lomachenko

Tiny Gamboa also wobbled and stunned Bud at least once in that fight.

 

Lomachenko would have stopped Crawford..................

In exactly what regard is Crawford so much more skilled? (P4P, i do think Crawford is a bit better, but not by a drastic measure)
Gamboa landed his best shots the same way Loma did, he drew Crawford out(got him to initiate) and countered him. Later Gamboa neglected to set anything up and Crawford had an easy going after that.

 

His ability to adapt in a fight and explore his opponents weakness for one(also switching southpaw when necessary).. I like Linares but let’s not forget the abuse he received at the hands of Demarco so he can be bullied.. if at 130 I believe Loma beats Crawford but at 135 and above Crawford would be too big for Loma.. Loma’s punches at 135 did not have the same pop so Crawford would be able to absorb his shots and the hand speed is not that big of a gap.. At 135 I believe Mikey and Crawford beats Loma.. but as of now I have Loma P4P#1 it’s just at some point size does matter and those guys were/is massive 135ers..
And Gamboa didn’t stop setting anything up Crawford took that away..

 

Loma isn't Gamboa...so what's your point? Do you win fights based on momentarily stunning someone, are you suggesting Loma stops Crawford...I don't understand what you're getting at?

 

Dem legs was gone!!!

 

I think people are exaggerating the size difference a bit. Loma and Bud are closer in size than Loma and Rigo were.

Bud is just too strong, too mean, and too talented. If Linares knocks down Loma, Bud knocks him out cold.

 

Picking Crawford on the basis that Linares scored a knockdown - which didn't drastically hurt Loma - seems a little over the top, I think.

Picking him on styles/size/strength is absolutely fine. I wouldn't call Crawford too talented for Loma though. They're both elite.

 

I was responding to someone who claimed Bud literally 'laughed off' Gamboa's flush power punches. Which is obviously false, as video evidence shows Bud was clearly stunned and wobbling from Gamboa's punches.

That was my point! I mentioned nothing about winning fights or Lomachenko being Gamboa. Maybe if you read the comment I was responding to, it'd help you understand what I'm getting at?

 

Crawford would impose himself on Lomachenko and win either by decision or late tko.

A better fight would be Lomachenko against Corrales. Skill vs size and power. Neither made of granite. Loma is fast out of the gate but Corrales stopped his share of flashier boxers down the stretch.

 

The best flush punch of many Gamboa landed (and the only one that had any visible effect) made Bud back up 3 steps.


That changes everything from how I remembered it. 24k glass chin verified.
