If you hatin on Loma right now...

It does look intentional in the gif to me too... I am skeptical about judging intent from just this gif doe True, I think them pushing the "in just x number of fights" thing makes it sound like he's some young gun far exceeding expectations when that's far from a fair characterization of his boxing career. But he's still pretty dam good. Made Walters look stupid and heartless, outboxed Russell, KO'd martinez all of which was after a SD loss to Salido. I mean that's not exactly a HOF resume lol but it's a very strong trajectory. I made this thread because I was surprised to see how much negative people had to say about how Lomachenko looked against Marriaga. I thought more of the negative talk would revolve around the fact that he chose to fight Marriaga in the first place, and it's fair to bring up how this is his second weak opponent in a row. It just irked me how a couple months ago everyone said Loma looked like a beast, and yet after this fight people are acting like he can't box all of a sudden. Maybe not his best performance ever but let's not make more of this fight than it was. People are fickle as all hell, BroBob. They desire any reason to justify their fickleness, and further seek evidence to solidify that reason. Of course, people have the right to change their minds, but it doesn't make it any less annoying when they do - especially when its a knee jerk change.

What I don't get (although it amuses me to no end) is how I become a hater by pointing out the truth. I like the guy. I think he can be great. But, you never caught me praising Gary Russell Jr either, because he hadn't done shyt. Still hasn't, but he's looked like an ATG his last couple of fights. Looking the part and BEING THE PART are two different things. Tell that to golovkin

Lomachenko fighting a bum who threw like 12 punches but still left the fight more beat up than the loser lmfao. I agree with lomechenko his defense sucks like he said "I NEED TO WORK ON MY DEFENSE". Yeah go work on that cause you can only win against b- level fighters and your track record proves it. Walters and Russell are both b- level? So how about Garcia? His opposition that great? You think Broners A level?

lol yeah I hear you on this. Happens all the time. People are excited when someone looks to be on the way to a good career and draw comparisons in their style and abilities to some of the best ever. Broner was being compared to the best boxers ever as well, and we know now he is not going to be an ATG (still a solid fighter tho). I'd be surprised if Loma tumbles down as hard as Broner did but it isn't a foregone conclusion that he's going to be an ATG.

Couldn't even beat sh1tty as$ Salido and he's going to beat Rigondeaux. Keep smoking crack bro! lol you know it's true Ain't no glass chin, bantamweight, senior citizen alive that is touching Loma right now

I just came here to say.. I love your avatar Bob :luvbed: Thanks lol :D I kinda miss the Joe Smith Jr one but now that he doesn't have the title it feels silly to still have it up

Some time in the next 12 months.... https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQe7SF-xR8Kl7qhX5D3WCmswq08w4oQN4vW8Gx7lbavF6TH2YTF Couldn't even beat sh1tty as$ Salido and he's going to beat Rigondeaux. Keep smoking crack bro!

all the greats got criticism if he goes on to be one I don't see why hed be exempt. hes good as hell and doing what he is supposed to do with who is in front of him. I don't see much hating just a few complaints about the level of comp he just faced, nobody can deny his skill, he needs to tighten up on his defense tho....calm down

I just came here to say.. I love your avatar Bob :luvbed:

I like Loma, but let's face it. The guy spent his life in the amateurs. He's 29 years old and doesn't have a lot of prime years left, especially at that size. If he's going to shake up the world for real, he needs to get into some big fights very soon. Which also means he'll have to move up -- where he may not be very successful.

Lomas a beast, tank is a beast. I bring up tank because Id bet my left nut that the "tank supporters" are the biggest criticizers of Loma and vice versa. Berchelt beats the sh1t out of both of them doe. see what I did there... :sombrero:

Is Loma good ? Hell yes he is! Can he potentially be an ATG? It seems he is off to an excellent start. Should he be compared to greats right now? HELL NO!!!!! You have to beat other GREAT FIGHTERS to be great. Last I checked, Loma hasn't done that yet. He has good, not great wins on his resume. And while some want to marvel at all he has done in so few pro fights, I wonder what exactly SHOULD WE HAVE EXPECTED from a guy with so much experience, amateur notwithstanding. lol yeah I hear you on this.

Diary material. This way the tears actually fall onto the page instead of ruining your keyboard. Yeah, I didn't think you had an answer to that question. Loma takes 7 rounds to get rid of of a guy coming up in weight and coming off a loss at the lower weight where he only managed to take a total of 3 rounds out of a possible 36 scored by 3 judges. But somehow, Loma is going to beat Mikey, who just took 12 rounds worth of shots from one of the biggest punchers 2 and 3 weight classes above Loma's OK, if you say so...

So hate bob then you clown you snowflakes report me for calling him a Jew https://media.giphy.com/media/CDJo4EgHwbaPS/giphy.gif When people ever taken it out on the promoter of a fighter? That is not how sports work, if a fighter doesn't live up to the hype that the media and promoters put on that...The Fighter Will Suffer! It has always been that way that is not gonna change for Loma!

Not all of Loma Criticism is "HATE" it kinda comes with the Territory when his Promoter is saying he is comparable to Ali and better than Mayweather So hate bob then you clown you snowflakes report me for calling him a Jew

It was hehe: Vasyl was stepping on Miguel's feet too. Pop top drip drop.

Lmaooo It's amazing no one was hating when he got robbed in the solido fight now they see him as a threat against their favorite fighters and going full force like they always did with Floyd, PAC, etc the tradition continues
