Vasyl Lomachenko vs Masayoshi Nakatani possible

Damn good fight! Nakatani is a super live dog.

 

I like this fight, but Loma wins this all day every day.

 

Loma might have to walk through fire. Nakatani appears to have no quit in him, a sturdy chin w/ recuperative abilities, and decent power (probably a harder hitter than Linares and Campbell, but less than Lopez).

 

Loma knows there are other former featherweights at 135 right?

Just loves giants I guess!

 

Makes sense, given the landscape. Loma should win comfortably, but Nakatani showed he’s a dog by battling back and dispatching Verdejo a few months back. I think he’ll push Loma i short stretches(particularly early), but ultimately prove unable to beat him.

 

Nakatani is crafty, experienced, has good pop and he is tall as hell.
Meanwhile Loma barely let his hands go against Lopez and he had another shoulder surgery.

Plus Loma did struggle with Campbell and Pedraza when those two tried to utilize their reach to take control of the distance.

By no means is this a 100% lock for Loma.

 

Btw, if Loma can make a statement here, he can easily lobby for a rematch with Lopez. The pressure would be on Lopez to take it.
If Loma struggles... well, he might loose a chance at revenge.

 

Love him or hate him . one thing i like about Loma , he does not cherry pick. Good fight. Loma for the win.

 

Has Loma stopped crying yet though?

 

Yep. What better way to put a shot across the bow than to beat the guy who gave your target opponent the most trouble. Either way, I think it’s a worthy fight and should be a good scrap. I think Nakatani will get ultimately outpointed, but could make things uncomfortable for Loma at times.

 

Should be a good fight!

 

Very good fight and should be a good one! Nakatani is one solid fighter and looking forward to this one!

 

I like Nakatani, he fights with heart and guts. However Lomachenko has all the skills to avoid him. Naka is going to have to hurt Loma to win this and I'll be watching. Kudo's to Lomachenko for taking this fight

 

Good match up to help rebuild himself up after the Lopez loss. I'm on board with this fight. Nakatani is no joke and I think Loma has to look impressive beating him if he wants to get that rematch with Lopez.
