I can see little Loma getting dropped in this fight, possible flash knockdown I dont see Linares getting stopped. Not one bit No big cuts Linares is big and will fight big in this fight Loma footwork and speed will get the job done Expect controversy with the decision Loma haters will JUMP on this result when they dont see the expected blowout Loma haters are mainly causal fans that dont realize that Linares is the top rated 135 pound fighter FACTS FACTS
Linares face will look like hes lost an argument with a razorblade by the end of it imo Should be good fight though as Linares wont quit
Linares is much bigger, and has excellent speed and technical skills of his own, so this will not be an easy fight for Lomachenko. But Loma looks very confident and focused, he's prepared very well. And he is a VERY special talent. I think Lomachenko wins by decision.
Prediction ok, but you're already attacking ppl whom you think would differ from your prediction before they even post. It's hilarious, troll city.
The Rigo fight wasn't all that intriguing given the gulf that existed in their weights. Rigo's skill set was fundamentally intriguing I agree. This fight will be the first time in a while that Loma will take a prime guy on at a fair weight, correct me if I'm wrong. That said Loma has the skills that make all the difference.
Linares isn't the best lightweight in the world, Mikey Garcia is. But i do agree that this isn't gonna be a whitewash for Loma. Linares will be there to win, but Loma is a level above him.
But Lomachenko didn't beat Rigondeaux w/ size. He didn't impose his size in any way, shape, or form. It was all skill. If Lomachenko's bread and butter was roughhousing and infighting, you could say that the weight played a role. Remember, Lomachenko didn't beat the **** out of Rigondeaux — In fact, I don't think he ever hurt Rigondeaux... he just destroyed him mentally.
I think when Rigo hit Loma and it did nothing, that demoralized Rigo. That's because Rigo's style is predicated on his opponent respecting his power and w/o power as Loma showed, there is no reason for Loma to not pounce on Rigo. And the reason Rigo's power meant nothing imo is down to the big arse weight gulf between them that night.
Yeap. That's what happens when skills meet skills, they cancel out leaving the things that don't cancel out.
