    I don't get why some people hate on Loma. The dude is great at what he does. He'll be missed when he retires.

    Beautiful brutality from loma.

    If you don't like him you don't like boxing.

    It's one thing making all your money but you also have to be able to count it at the end of your career.

    He's not that deep. The thing is fighters that keep winning aren't guaranteed to end up any better than those that have their share of losses either. At this point he's never been stopped by punishment to the head.

    Loma always restores my admiration for boxing.. we are blessed to be watching this little fella.. no weight grifting, no drugs, no s*** talking outside of the Ring.. just pure class in every way.. just a shame hes operating within such a corrupt fight sports genre .. the guys one of the greatest athletes I've ever seen

    Did not watch the fights because I was at a party. Congratulations to Loma on what appears a great victory winning the title in your opponents backyard. Hopefully before his time is out he faces either Tank or Shakur or both though I doubt those contests end well for him but hope he is well rewarded as he has been absolute credit to boxing.

    There are levels in this sport.

    Free money for Loma, capitalizing on a talentless guy who won the lottery one night.

    Just watched the Lucas Browne fight that was sad to see 45 year old Browne get done like that

    Glad I went to sleep. I'll watch it later. I knew this would be an uncompetitive fight.

    He didn't win the lottery, he outboxed Teo over 12 rounds. It wasn't like it was a Hail Mary knockout blow.

    There's another old saying that fighters often think they retired one fight too early when really they retired one fight too late. I'm not saying what's best for him, if he can really get a massive fight like Gervonta Davis etc then yeah and you're right if he has made those numbers these last few fights were worth it but if I was him I'd rather have a swan song and walk away than become a punch bag to up and comers like William Zepeda.

    I've watched a lot of boxing in my lifetime. I have never seen a more gifted fighter than Loma. There are guys who can end things more spectacularly, without a doubt, like Hearns, Jackson, Trinidad, Holyfield, Tyson, and Foreman, but what I am talking about here is the true art of boxing. No one has done it better. Loma can hit and not be hit against much bigger guys. Also, look at who he has fought. He has not had an easy fight his whole pro career. He immediately stepped into the fire. Nearly all of his opponents are current or past champions. I am in awe of what he has accomplished.
