Who should Loma really face next?

Come on man, you don't mean that do you?

 

It's called hyperbole

 

Rematch with Salido? Also wouldn't mind Rigo, or maybe a catchweight w/ Bud Crawford (that would be an awesome fight)

 

Well I think that, with Loma because he's got short arms he doesn't really have a great jab therefore he doesn't have the safety net of just being able to chill back and outbox someone from the outside countering, he has to do everything with foot movement (kinda like Pac in a way).

Mikey, has got the counters, the jab and his own feet to counter this I feel at least to some extent.

IDK I just rate Mikey super highly honestly.

 

You know what, Loma has got that boxing down pat. I don't see anybody out there that understands that sh#t like he does and how it pertains him personally. He has honed his game down to fit him like a tailored suit. Nobody can do what he does like he does because it won't fit. You can't wait on Loma, you have to be a dam good boxer and a bruiser to boot. Salido was the closes thing to that but he was just off on his boxing a little bit.

 

I would of loved GGG to start out under top rank, he'd be so much further in his career

 

Lomachenko would have went up to 168 to fight Ward.

 

Walters ain't got a Duran bone in his body. When Duran said No Mas, it was in defiance not in defeat. He didn't surrender. He just said fk this sh#t. He was still full of fire on the way out so we knew he would be back. Walters went out with a wimper, like a real beotch.

 

Not referring to Ward specifically, I mean early in his career when he was being held back by his shitty German promotional company. He most likely would of gotten Sturm, Martinez, etc, under a far better promoter

 

Great point. After just one comeback fight Mikey doesn't bring much to the table, and a lot of people have questions about him. If he beats Zlaticanin and Flanagan he'd be a huge fight for Loma.

 

Vargas is ripe for the picking. wars with miura really showed his age. i think loma destroys him in his prime regardless but your right it would be an amazing fight with a champ like vargas going out on his shield weather he is 11 rounds down or 1.

Failing unification id wanna see him right that wrong with salido (not that i consider it a loss)

 

A 2010 Martinez win would have been a really good win.

 

lol ok.

 

Assuming they cannot get Pac at 135 then Salido or Vargas. Why does everyone say "Salido rematch"? It is redundant and pedantic.

 

Everything lined up perfectly for Siri that night. Not even just the weight or having Cole as the ref- Loma had no 12 round experience and had some real pacing issues that fight as a result (it's no accident he went longer against worse fighters after Russell before he started stopping everyone) , and nobody has that kind of roughhouse style in the amateurs. By the time Loma adapted, he just ran out of rounds.

The pacing issue is fixed, and I don't know what tricks Siri's got that Loma hasn't learned from the first time around. Dude's as crafty as it gets, but he's going to have to dig deep to find something new.
