    Cool, I think you're stupid if you don't get it. Let's move on.

    I think it puts into perspective how high Lomas standards are. Campbell got beat up and knocked down (should have been twice).

    I get that you have no idea what you are talking about. Why not have Loma fight Wilder? Would that make you happy?

    Loma has an unreal chin/durability. He took a bunch of big shots from a much bigger dude that can bang.

    Well, so they tell me...don’t quite see the correlation though....did Vlady-P send yours to the gulag?

    I wouldn't say he took a bunch but he got hit with some good body shots and felt them. You could see it. Loma blocked an awful lot of shots that Ward went nuts over.

    Yeah, there needed to be a point deduction.

    This, watching high level boxing like this makes up for all the times you are frustrated with he sport and lesser fights being made but promoted more.

    I would like to see Loma go down and stay at 130. Tank Davis, Farmer, Valdez, Berchelt, LSC, potentially Warrington, there are lots of good fights for him around that weight still. Not really interested in seeing him in with Teofimo Lopez or Commey but would be good seeing him get the IBF belt.

    Loma shouldn't fight at lightweight, that's for sure. He looked like Usyk fighting Tyson Fury in there.

    Campbell just has a very annoying style to box against it seems to me.. tall mid to long range southpaw who's always circling, pumping the right & pawing with the left looking to counter.. a technically sound boxer with good timing.. southpaws are notoriously difficult .. good win for Loma IMO though it wasn't as dominant as usual he beat him soundly.. so before trying to pull Loma down as some of u always do just ask yourself is Campbell just very good? He's much improved from the Mendy fight so don't cite such things... he's clearly a top 5 LW.. happy for both men.. but you can see Loma just isn't comfortable as a LW.. glad he's making noises about 130..

    That remains to be seen. The guys that've given Loma the hardest work have had huge reach advantages and fast feet. Unless you count Salido's 45 nut shots without a point deduction, and I bet you're the type that does count that. Davis doesn't have a massive reach advantage and no ref will allow 45 nut shots these days. Davis has talent and potential but at this stage, after 22 fights, talent and potential is the total of his career. He didn't even have to fight for his title. Like Charlo, it was gifted to him. Loma has 5 straps across 3 divisions after 15 fights. Go to a local gym and watch sparring and bag work, he has changed the way people box.

    I'd love for Loma to unify and drop down to 130 to fight Gervonta Davis. I wouldn't mind betting Davis goes to 135 to avoid Loma.

    He's now a 3 belt unified champion at 135, I think he.he's doing okay.

    I admit, he impressed the heck outta me. Gutsy and skilled. Good plan. Just came up against a rare virtuoso boxer.
