I'm going w/ Loma's brutal deflowering of Gary Russell Jr.. Magnificent body work — maybe the greatest I have ever seen. Probably shifted all of Gary's organs around inside. What is your favorite Loma performance? Drowning Walters in the Matrix? Running Rigonquit, the ugly rat creature, out of boxing? Turning Jorge's liver into a deflated balloon?
I consider everyone aside from Linares, Gary, Walters, and Rigo to be mediocre opponents, so I left them out. Holy crap, I left out Linares in the poll... Fixed!
I voted for Linares but I can easily vote for Russell. Linares is a vet and bigger guy. Gary was a young lion in his prime.
Why is Rigondeaux in the list?!? The guy was almost 20 pounds lighter than Lomachenko.Against Linares was his worst performance(+ the one against Salido).
I thought Saturday's was the best. He was against a bigger man, against one of the most respected fighters in the World and wasn't having it all his own way as the knockdown and judges scorecards show. Yet he still managed to find a way of not only beating Linares but looking good in the process too.
Walters or Rigondeaux. Russell and Linares had success, those two got completely outclassed. (Walters landed few nifty counters to the body)
