    Nazarov was a serious puncher. He was linked with a fight against Stevie Johnston around 97-98 and I remember Johnston's manager at the time saying how the whole gym had stopped to watch Nazarov hitting the heavy bag. Lomachenko is very small at 135 too. There's no reason at all to think that Loma stops Nazarov. Great to see Nazarov getting his credit here.

    Orzubek was a killer in the ring, especially the way he dismantled Gamache and Johnson. I think he could have given Loma some serious problems.

    I personally think this would be an excellent offensive fight. And from what I know, Nazarov was having serious eye issues by the Mendy fight.

    Stalin crushes Loma with a left handed SS-N-30 down the pipe.

    "Those who vote decide nothing" he announces glaring at the judges as Loma twitches at his feet.

    I wonder what people think of this now Lomas career is over?

    Personally, I can see Nazarov keeping Loma away from him with his massive power and punching through him. At modern day 135 Loma is small but a technical marvel - he does very, very well against non-punchers and medium hitters but would be seriously off put by big punchers imo.
