Which performance was the better display of Loma's skillset?
Russell Jr. fight was impressive with bodywork from Loma
Rigondeaux fight was dismantling of a master technician
Sosa fight demonstrated his offensive arsenal against aggressive fighter
Walters fight was all about soul taking and mental domination
Martinez fight had beautiful KO
Hard to say - Rigo and Walters were on the way and he was outclassing them more and more and perhaps those would have been had it been a full fight. Both just quit in shame. Martinez was coming off a series win over Salido but outside of a few people here nobody gave him a chance but his offense looked spectacular in that one.
Perhaps the Russell one as it showed how well he learns and how fast and then the body shots and completely rendering Russell's speed and volume useless and shutting him down whilst fighting an offensive fight. Half this place picked Russell as did a lot of writers and he won 11/12 rounds (taking a breather in the 1 he lost).
Loma's performance in Salido's fight was very good, it was a really difficult fight, but Salido should've been deducted at least 2 points... I love how our mexican fighters go to war, even Marquez is a really clean counter-puncher in his aggressiveness, but you guys can't deny Loma was closing the fight a lot better than Salido even with those low blows.
You go girl.....
Hold on I'm just gonna neg you real quick and leave a real passive aggressive note, but first I need to get my wife's boyfriend to stand next to me while I type it out just in case you try threaten me. That'll show you, you big meanie!
I really liked his fight with Salido. :dance:
LOL you mad Roberta Ferret? As if your Karma does anything, I'm still standing hoe. Throw your childish tantrums all you want little boy, it won't make a difference.
Maybe punch a wall instead while you have me on RC, they don't fight back :D :bottle: :crying:
Rigo was a top p4p fighter and he outclassed him, only the blind couldn't see that Loma, despite his weight advantage, was faster, more technical and much more diverse in his skillset.
Walters was awesome to watch too - each round Loma turned up the temperature until almost boiling point in the 7th, Walters quit and rightfully so. He was looking at a TKO loss in the 8th for sure, he got hit pretty flush in the 7th and looked exhausted.

His boxing skills were definitely most tested against Guillermo Rigondeaux who himself is extremely skilled defensively and as a counter puncher. Contrary to what many others would state, Rigo still is the brilliant boxer that we've been seeing during his last 5 bouts. Perhaps he has declined a little bit since his bout against Donaire. However, he certainly wasn't shot or totally washed up and many were giving him high chances of beating Lomachenko, prior to the fight because of Rigondeaux's quality performances in his last 3+ boxing bouts.
However, what he was able to do against those other opponents, he wasn't able to do against Lomachenko. Not necessarily because Rigondeaux's skills / abilities declined more in his match against Lomachenko than against the likes of Moises Flores, Jazza Dickens or Amigasa, but because Lomachenko made that same version of Rigondeaux look bad by shutting him down in a way where he almost totally nullified Rigo's offense and created avenues to attack Rigo in a way where Rigo had no defensive answers or solutions. Which is something none of Rigo's past 5 opponents were able to do. Not because Rigo better abilities / skills when boxing against them, but because they themselves didn't have the abilities to be as effective as Lomachenko was against Rigondeaux, both offensively and defensively.
Rigondeaux is the same boxer in terms of boxing abilities which many of his supporters claimed he was, prior to fighting against Lomachenko. They can't now all of a sudden, retrospectively claim that Rigondeaux was never good to begin with. Thus, from a skill perspective, Lomachenko's performance against Rigondeaux has to be the best / most impressive in my opinion. Since it was widely regarded by most that Rigondeaux was the most skilled opponent of Lomachenko so far.
After that, It's a tossup between his performances against Nicholas Walters and Gary Russel Jr.
