Vasyl Anatoliyovych Lomachenko vs. Josh Taylor

Pac would seriously hurt and KO Lomachenko. You will see the Pac of old in that fight. Pac will eat all of Loma's shots to get his punches in and it won't take many to end the fight.

 

No chance. Loma picks him apart.

 

Hard to pick against Lomachenko right now, but it would still be a very tough fight. The size difference here is enormous, and while Taylor isn't as skilled he's got the technical ability to give a good showing of himself, at the very least. And if he catches Lomachenko clean there's no reason he couldn't drop or stop Loma.

 

Lomachenko should stay at 135 in my opinion, he’s giving up massive amounts of reach and height to JT.

 

I think Josh Taylor's got this one. He's a little bit too big for Loma and he's skilled in his own right. He's maybe one small step below Loma, but he's still an elite level fighter and at the end of the day I think the much bigger proven elite fighter beats the much smaller one.

I don't see how Loma has enough. He's a little more skilled, no doubt. But there needs to be a gulf somewhere for Loma to overcome the size difference, and I can't find where that would be. Josh is skilled enough to catch him clean with something significant at some stage in the fight, so I expect a knockout in the mid rounds.

Loma needs to cherrypick above 135. Fighters who are okay at everything but good at nothing should be targeted, the rest should be avoided.

 

What i would like to as his next two fights:

Vs M.Garica
Vs Tank

However I dont think either have interest inf ighting Loma despite the talk

What i expect:

Vs Commey
Vs Campbell - unifying the divison when Garcia vacates.

 

If the fight happened 10 years ago it would have been amazing and a true 50/50 fight, Pacman was incredible at lower weights however currently Pac has no chance... he will be hitting air all night, Pacman loves to rush in throwing his flurries, Loma has too much foot movement for Pacman, it would have been competetive 10 years ago, potential fight of the decade material, but if they fight at 135 now Loma outclasses him and makes Pacman retire, Pacman has nothing to worry Loma, hasn’t got a jab to hide behind, at this point he’s slower than Loma, his footspeed is not the same as it used to be and his power is gone.

 

Taylor is exceptional, a real talent, but down the stretch the most skilled fighter on the planet gives him a reason to drop and its totally up to Loma at that stage of the fight where it goes, pts or tko. Loma is the best fighter ive ever seen, his skill keeps you glued to the tele like its a Mike Tyson fight but for different reasons !

 

Love to see prograis vs loma

 

I wish Loma shared the same confidence. He already ducked Pac. First he needed a year to get ready. Then he said a catchweight was needed. Then he said the fight needed to be at 135. Then he said no altogether saying that Pac was old and finished. And this is a 40 year old Pac willing to go down in weight.

@ Pac hitting air all night—Marriaga, Linares, and Pedraza connected with Loma plenty.

 

Think this would be a great fight to see. Quite the risk for both, probably more so for Loma in that the only reason you can see him lose would be just moving up too far in weight.
