That was indeed a struggle for someone who was a 25-1 favourite, his face got marked up worse than it ever has been. Lomachenko got pushed around and he got touched easily especially by the jab. Lomachenko has paper skin, Pedraza isn’t even a puncher and he cut him up.
I told y'all
Told ya what? You dont understanding what you are seeing watching.
This is exactly why i was disappointed when this fight was announced. Weak ass fight cuz Pedraza sucks
How did he struggle? He had some ring rust coming off surgery. Probably had a less intense training camp. PED razz was cautious and slick. But the fight wasn’t even close.
I wouldn't call that struggle. Pedraza connected on 12% of shot. Didn't even look like he was trying to win.
Honestly it didn't look like he belong in the ring with Loma. Loma look like he was cruising the whole fight.
Mark my words.
We shall see come fight night how the Ukrainian will do against pedraza but tbh ive learned over time not to count lomachenko out easily..
If Pedraza does better here than he did in the Davis fight people are going to get really stupid
Nobody would get stupid unless they already were stupid. Pedraza will definitely do much better than he did against Gervonta. He's not facing Davis' constant pressure, killer instinct, youth, and concussive power in both hands. I expect him to take Loma's shots with no problems.
This fight might go the distance, with Loma winning.
Imo, pedraza quits after 8. No way hes gonna come forward and get tanked like he did against tank and if he plays defensive lomachenko will shred him.
The fight will probably start slow. Loma heats up in the 3rd. Batters pedraza for a few rounds before his corner throws it in.
Lomachenko is the worst kind if opponent because he doesnt need to batter you. He wages. Psychological warfare at you.
I can see Pedraza being trick early on and Lomachenko doesn't have one punch KO power either. But I expect him to slowly break Pedraza down enroute to a late KO win.
Yeah, that's likely. Wonder if they'll go nuts if Fielding makes out of the first round vs. Clenelo after Callum Smith finished him in a round?
The size difference between Canelo and Smith is massive. There should be crying about that.

Obviously he was hurt, Salidoe battered and bruised him pink.
Also, it's "you're", and I don't reach bro
Not really. He didn't have a mark on him and didn't have problems with the body punches maybe some of the many low blows but you'll remember it was Salido holding on and out on his feet at the end of the fight.
