Vasly Lomachenko vs George Kambosos - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

Yikes, ref missed the first KD. But Loma did it again so he'd see it. Went right for that body, crisp.

Horrendous telecast. Commercials before the rd nearly ended. Commercials still going when the rd starts. Talk about taking you out of the excitement and moment. One of the worst I've ever seen. Then Loma wins and they immediately cut to basketball newscast, rofl. Without a doubt, the worst boxing telecast I've seen in my life. I liked the camera footage between the ropes, like a kid spying something through a hole in the fence. Or maybe the overhead camera that just shows two round heads punching. Or the camera behind Kambosas back when he's stuck in the corner and I can't even see if or where Loma was landing. It isn't rocket science, but they keep doing it wrong.

Bradley has been doing pretty bad lately, even for Bradley standards. I wasn't here on the forum for the Garcia and Haney fight, but watching Bradley spout all that BS before, during and after, was cringe to umpteenth degree. I don't know if it's just being tasked with commenting without ever being questioned or challenged on your statements, or having to always come up with things to say. Either way, it's a lot of talking and more than I would care to do. He did seem more low key when he started commentating. But he prob wasn't fully comfortable yet. Plus Ward balanced it by challenging his view sometimes.

I recall Andy Ruiz having the Mexican anthem before his fight with Joshua but yes this was totally unnecessary. Damn I don’t remember that. That’s so dumb

Never seen them do someone’s ****ing BACKGROUND anthem I recall Andy Ruiz having the Mexican anthem before his fight with Joshua but yes this was totally unnecessary.

Pedro Regina didn’t win chit My guess is the WBC doesn’t enjoy having Maloney as champion

I grant Kambosos was outclassed and outskilled from the getgo. He got beat to heck by feather fist Haney twice, who should have lost to Loma. But it's pretty clear Loma would be undisputed champ if he'd taken the fight instead of Haney in '22, and I doubt Haney would have gotten the win as B-side. Loma didn't look like a 36 year old tonight, and thank goodness he didn't seem interested in leaving it to the judges. He may have beaten Kambosos into retirement. NGL, if Loma can run the Vaquero/Shakur/Tank gauntlet, as a 36-37 year old on the final run of his career, I personally think there's no question that he's an ATG. That's an absolutely brutal road to undisputed. ​​​​​

According to Boxrec, Goodall KO'd Opelu in the 10th Rd and Ahio took out Big Daddy in the opening round

Pretty impressive beat down. Loma still seems to have that ability to switch to those extreme, odd angles in quick fashion but I suspect he's not as smooth or quick as he used to be. He also probably requires a lot more breathing room and pauses during his fights to make sure he catches his wind,....even though it appears that he doesn't. A small guy at 36 years old moving like he does is extremely impressive. What other small guy was fighting like that at 36?! I can't see him fighting like this much longer at all. He's already old for a fighter of his size.

Teo fought a Loma who just came off shoulder surgery, so? List of why things are sometimes not perfect can go on and on. Yeah but he’s Latino And we all know Regina loves Latino cogh

If he's a bum what does that make Munguia? That kunt Regina won’t know the difference

Kambosos is a bum he was the definition of lucky when a sick Teo fought in the dumbest way possible. Fegge sh!tting up a thread again.

Kambosos is a bum he was the definition of lucky when a sick Teo fought in the dumbest way possible. If Kambo is a bum , what the fugh are you ??? Oh yeah I forgot you a kunt Regina

Former UNDISPUTED champion, bruh. Don’t you value undisputed status? Kambosos is a bum he was the definition of lucky when a sick Teo fought in the dumbest way possible.

Loma does not look 36 years old. Handspeed, reflexes, foot speed, all still there humming on all cylinders. That's the danger though: Loma's style relies on athleticism, and he can't fight any other way. I think he's too short to make significant adjustments to his style; he needs to be a speedy swarmer in order to get things done. He's a high IQ boxer, but his body will eventually fail him and he won't want to be in front of a big puncher when that epiphany happens.

What is Bradley talking about that was a sternum shot not a liver shot. Exactly. Bradley is terrible. I was really enjoying this fight, but really wish Tim Bradley would just shut up. I lost track of how many times he said 'Tess". Loma keeps changing levels, Tess. He's applying pressure simply with his footwork, Tess. :mad::mad::mad: So annoying.

Which is sad. This is a 36 year old Lomachenko. But he didn’t look 36 tonight so maybe Tank will wait another year or 2. I think Lomachenko called out Tank as far back as 2017 iirc. 7 years ago. Crazy. You could see some speed decline if you look or i would say fludity in his movment speed. I thought the quickest he looked at 135 was against Devin a year ago with his in and out style.

What the hell is Bradley and Joe Tessitore's problem with Kambosos? Bradley especially has been shitting on him all night. Of course as an analyst it's normal to critique a fighter and their performance, but this was way past that and really unprofessional imo. Kambosos might not be the best at 135lbs but he beat Teofimo fair and square, dropped him and busted him up. Bradley is honestly such a cock, how he still has that job at ESPN is beyond me.

They are making it sound like Vaquero/Berinchyk winner is practically signed to fight Loma, I hope not, either fight is a mismatch imo
