    From what I've seen in the campell bout, Loma was hurt several times each round from bodyshots.

    A body punching, high quality swarmer would be a hellish style for Loma. He wouldn't deal with a Duran IMO. Easier said than done though.

    Thoughts?

    The key to beating Loma or much rather not getting beaten by Loma, is not to fight him.

    Loma has been fighting useless fights recently. Crolla and now Campbell, not impressed much with that.

    Well, I think he should go back to 130.

    He is showing vulnerabilities. Maybe because he is fighting quality bigger and stronger boxers.

    It's not going to get any easier from here on.

    Maybe the longer reaches are troubling him, Linares was pretty tall also.

    The body shots were troubling him, Mark.

    As I said before the fight, Campbell's length and ring IQ would make this a competitive fight. That said, Lomachenko won no less than 8 rounds tonight (personally, I had it 9-3).

    Not going to get any easier? I'm not sure I follow. I expect Loma to decision Lopez and Commey more comfortably than he beat Campbell.

    Arum's talking about making Pacquiao-Lomachenko. Lomachenko better reject that fight again. Even at 41 and a catchweight, Pacquiao will put a brutal, career-ending beating on him.

    yea loma is too short and does hit hard enough at 135. I think he can beat anyone at 135 today but a tall guy with a long reach always seems to give him problems. He is too small for the weight.

    I agree (at 140).

    Loma is a very live dog and if he can pack on lbs to make 140, I think he beats Pac.

    I guess I do because I only saw one guy clearly hurt from body shots.

    Stay active with your punch output and make it a dirty fight.

    Loma is a terrific fighter and you can't allow him to set up or dictate the action. Keep a high punch rate and make it a rough fight on the inside.
