Which performance were you more impressed with: Tank TKO11 Barrios or Loma TKO9 Nakatani

I think it's more likely Nakatani and Teofimo Lopez are a bit overrated and Barrios was relatively unknown and underrated.

Lomachenko gave a solid, stellar performance winning every round and stopping Nakatani with relative ease.

Tank took some rounds to work out Barrios then stopping him in dominant fashion whilst going up to 140 pounds.

It's a close call but Tank shades it with the more dominant stoppage win over a boxer outside his normal weight class.

 

Both guys made impressive stops. But tanks was just more dramatic two knock downs and a knock down stoppage.

 

I don't see how Tanks was more dominate. Loma didn't seem to struggle at any point while Barrios was finding a lot of success.

 

Tank is enough large for 140 lbs division with a glance, he is just short, stocky body type very athletic muscular guy. Some posters call him as fat cos he is short. He does have decent frame and is athletic body type guy.

 

Nakatani was overmatched. I figured Lona would put on a dominant performance. Tank had a tougher fight and came through big.

 

I'm trying to say it's more impressive due to Tank going up in weight and it's more of an achievement in my eyes. I took that into account and i think Tank's performance shades it because of that.

 

Barrios is not a world champion, Taylor is undisputed at 140. He held a secondary belt, the same one Trevor Bryan holds at HW.

 

Power don't work if you can't bring it to bear. Barrio's presented a puzzle in the beginning but Tank displayed an excellent ring IQ and broke him down. Barrios is a very good fighter and he showed it. Good combos, head and foot movement, heart, and a decent jab. Much better fighter than Nakatani. Loma was walking into him with little resistance and doing damage. If Tank was allowed that free pass, he wouldn't have lasted four rounds. Loma's shoulder was examined by specialists and deemed fit and ready for battle so that is a non issue. Loma trying to get paid just like Tank and Nakatani was chosen because his flaws were an open invitation for Loma to shine.

 

Why?
Nakatani was first boxer this new Lopez was not able to drop and cards? Lol.
Now when Loma gets fight vs Nakatani this is overmatching?
Both of them are boxers not finished by the same Lopez.

If Loma as you said had beated Nakatani easily, this means just that Lopez is heavily overrated.

 

That's fair enough. I rate Loma's win better purely on the basis that we have an idea of how Nakatani did since he recently fought Lopez. Barrios on the other hand is a pretty big unknown. He fought another unknown guy who was 7-0 in a tight match and that's about all I know of him.

 

Tank's was clearly the bigger statement.

 

Lopez beat loma tho.

 

Definitely Loma.

Simply because he just came back from shoulder surgery. There are subjective views about Nakatani, but controlling the fight and dominating all rounds is just unreal. No one would predict this, even Loma fans who expected him to win.

 

You could make a good argument for both.
