Loma fights DIRTY, and that's ok with me.

Should've been deducted two points for that absurdly late punch IMO. Latest I think over ever seen.

The guy even runs in and knees Rigo. :rofl: Wow, didn't even notice some of that during the fight. Updating my original post because apparently a lot of hardcore fans are in denial.

low blows?? come on man. you are s serious poster, why don't you just start a thread defending ward directly instead of trying this? rigo was bending super low dude. loma wasn't the one forcing him down, rigo does that all the time. You're confusing a couple things. When I said he forced him down, I'm talking about when he physically pushed his bodyweight on the back of Rigo's neck. Kovalev does that too. Hitting a guy that ducks low, nobody seems to understand how that works. The uppercut is a punch you can throw to a fighter who does that, as are both hooks (in fact, hooks are wicked in that application). Loma isn't stupid enough to not know that or to be "forced to" punch him in the back of the head. Loma did that to PUNISH him. He knew it was dirty and he was able to get away with it because Rigo was doing something dirty too in going below the belt. If you guys watch boxing you undoubtedly must know that refs traditionally reprimand both fighters in this scenario. One for hitting the back of the head, one for dipping below the waist. The only reason I bothered to go into it at length w/ you is that you're a decent poster, the others are just trolls who cry and lie no matter what I say.

Kovalev tried to bully Ward with rabbit punching that's why he got nailed to the balls. I'd never recommend getting dirty with Ward, that guy will not take **** from no one. Also agree about Loma, it's good to see he's learning how to fight like a pro now, his clean fighting cost him vs Salido, this is the hurt game! Indeed. ^This guy knows what's up. It is unfortunate for me to discover that I am now racist because I like Loma's gritty side but if the braintrust of NSB has declared it, it must be so... :lol1: Love the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the usual trash posters. Keep em coming boys. I like Loma and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Question though, if he was so far above Rigo, how did Rigo force him to do anything? Including fighting dirty? Loma is a man now. If you don't like it, go find another boxer to worship.

Agreed. I think showboating a guy who you're supposed to beat is a pretty queer thing to do but the mean streak, I like. Him getting rough, I'm down with. This is pro BOXING. If I was interested in sanitary combat I'd watch the amateurs. I'm glad Loma has shaken off that amateur system mentality. He fought kids for way too long. He's a pro now and he's fighting for the fans. I think he's really grown into the role. If he fights Garcia, he's going to have to tap into that mean streak and get rough because Mikey is a big, strong dude that knows the science.

All the little darling that couldn't bear the sight of evil Andre Andre Ward are now embracing Loma with open arms. Amusingly, Loma used forearms, repeated blows to the back of the head, held the smaller man's head down with his forearm and pushed his bodyweight on top of him (dirty as fuk), etc. This is all gritty ("dirty" as you guys like to call it) stuff. Before you excuse him and say it was just in response to Rigo, this was all rehearsed. You saw him discussing it with the ref. He planned to get gritty. And, that's ok. I like it. He's showing some balls. Had he shown this in the Salido fight he wouldn't have lost. Accept it guys. It's part of the game. And, it's part of Loma's game now. :D More power to him. This a troll thread, it has to be. If you believe that lomachenk is a dirty fighter you probably don't watch much boxing. He was being locked at the arms by rigo the ENTIRE fight. Rigo appeared more dirty in this fight. And the "rabbit punching" was due to the fact rigo, like your little fanboy boyfriend ward, likes to bend his head down and swivel to avoid punches. I wish more boxers would take note on how to fight guys like rigo, ward, and mayweather. Lomachenko mastered it There was absolutely nothing "dirty" about what lomachenko did. See kovalev ward 2. What a sad and deceptive way to discredit a great boxer

Wtf is wrong with you? Why does everything with you have to come back to racial bias. You're basically Larry but not as busy. Loma did what he did because of Rigo starting to grab, hold and duck below the waist. Loma did not initiate it, he simply triedt o make a fight, a complete opposite of Ward. What an idiot.

No they aren't. Hitting behind the head is ALWAYS a foul. This is really embarrassing for you. When have you ever seen a ref allow a fighter to hit someone when they turn their back? :rofl: At least in the several hundreds of times. Pretty much every time I've seen a fighter turn their back the ref either scolds/penalizes them or allows their opponent to continue attacking. You are not going to be penalized for hitting in the back of the head if your opponent is deliberately using that as an illegal defense. Ducking below the waist is a lesser known rule because few fighters really do it with any regularity. I remember mike tyson facing criticism for it.

You've been a boxing fan for at least 3 years and you don't know punching behind the head is fouling and is viewed as worse than holding and ducking below the waist. OMFG. If you turn your back on your opponent or duck below the waist then they are encouraged to keep punching (you're the one fouling). What part is confusing? Punching to the back of the head is illegal when your opponent is facing you, not when they deliberately try to stop you from throwing punches by offering the back of their head as your sole target.

I only saw Loma punch the back of the head when Rigo was bending below the waste (illegal) unless I'm forgetting something. If your opponents turns his back of bends below the waste you are literally supposed to keep punching. He's the one fouling. People don't seem to understand that illegal tactics carry an advantage. Either Loma has to sell out to find a legal punch to land and leave himself vulnerable, or he just holds back and gives Rigo endless recovery time. Loma negated the advantage Rigo sought using trash tactics by throwing light punches at the target presented. It discouraged Rigo from doing it. I'm not sure why the OP doesn't understand the difference between fouling to gain an advantage and negation. It is an important distinction to make. Did Loma continue looking for punches to the top/back of the head in other situations? Did he even throw heavy shots to that area? Calling him a dirty fighter is idiotic. He is a clean fighter who knows how to negate dirty tactics (a skill he learned as a result of his Salido fight no doubt).

Why are some of you sooooo gutted that I like Loma?? In fact, it seems to be a mission for some posters to try to get "certain people" to dislike Loma. Very telling.... I'm not the one with racism problems, do not project.

No. You're never SUPPOSED TO punch the back of the head. It's a health concern. Look up Prichard Colon if you don't understand. Loma got gritty. He'll do it again and you guys will say, "Damn, Redd was right." He's a rugged, gritty fighter now. This isn't a bad thing unless you guys aren't willing to be honest about it. I think it's awesome. I like it a lot more than his old dancey, feather fisted style. That reflected his amateur roots. He's a pro now and he's fighting like one.

No Redd, just no. Keep crying. Why are some of you sooooo gutted that I like Loma?? In fact, it seems to be a mission for some posters to try to get "certain people" to dislike Loma. Very telling.... So you had a problem with Roy doing this every fight? Just curious since I have never seen you mention it before and it was a Jones specialty. I was never really here nor there with Roy. He was an incredible athlete but to be honest, I never got into him for some reason. The showboating definitely didn't appeal to me.

both men fought dirty so I'm glad it was on an even ground..

Vlad and Daggum are gonna cry. Loma was dirty in the Marriaga fight too.

to be honest most of the greats if not all had dirty boxing in their arsenal but for some reason its the biggest crime in the world on this site. thank GOD loma is around now its accepted!!!!!!

Saying they're both dirty is like saying Sullivan Barrera and Alexander brand are both bums. Silly comment. Every fighter has a dirty moment, even Golovkin hit Lemieux after the bell. That doesn't make him dirty. lol /thread red fox accused anyone that mentioned ward's dirtiness in the past as being a 'hater'.

For some people it all reverts back to Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather.. pretty weird.
