Is it just me, or his father sounds a little bit in shock to witness what healthy Loma still does to people?
Loma's performance almost shut up Lopez' sr **** which generates his head and expresses his mouth
Fun to read that so many Brits here put all their hopes on Fury vs Klit and even discussing his retirement. The awakening will be painfull after the fight night:haha:
More bull****ting article could not appear on this site. And I am not talking about boxing part. It sounds exactly like russian propaganda. No wonder after I saw the russian's name of the writer. Relatives my word... Ukrainians and Russiaians have not much in common. Ukrainians are slavic, russians are multinational. Ukraine had never been a voluntary part of any ugly political and state union Russia brought up to the world
I give props to Crolla, because so many other boxers (including world champions) would rather duck Lomachenko when he's still at his best.
It's sad that this mediocre fighter has more courage and desire to face the best than 99% of all the other fighters around.
Exactly, but very sad
The only way the fight can get done is via PPV I think. Linares got 1.2+ million for this fight. I cannot find what loma got but probably more.
Both Garcia and Loma will want way more money to fight each other.
If you know Loma a little bit better, you never say that money will be an obstacle for him. He is looking for legacy much more than money.
I am still doubtful in Mikey intentions. He is quite a cherry picker in my eyes now. Although, Loma's knock down and some vulnerability in Linares fight may grow bigger nuts in Mikey's pants:boxing:
Wow disgusting Nazi Thugs dare mess with Roy Jones. Ukraine is a criminal murderous state. Death to Ukraine, WAR ROY JONES !!!!!!!
you're retard, dude:fing26:
This is what I've been saying a lot. Mikey ducked Loma in 135 and Bud in 140, both fights would have had more sense due to the size. But in both he would look bad and there wouldnt be excuses. Now he jumps on huge Spence, takes big paycheck and expects respect no matter what from him fanbase and some others. Take what it takes Mikey and crawl away a beaten dog. That's what I say.
132 lbs is 132lbs anywhere. Doesn't matter if you are a pro or not.
Dude, lightweights in ams have the same weight during a week or more of competition. They do not rehydrate otherwise they miss their limit. So my point is that 90% of featherweight pros at fight night weigh even more than ams lightweights and obviously they should be considered the same size. Be realistic.
Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, Nev. - Former heavyweight champion and International Boxing Hall of Fame member Lennox knew was inducted into the Nevada Hall of Fame last night at Caesar's Palace.
Prior to receiving his award, Floyd Mayweather Jr. received the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame Award for Fighter of the Year - an award he has won all three years of the NBHOF's existence.
During his long acceptance speech, the 48-0 Mayweather reiterated his claim as TBE - The Best Ever.

TBE is recognized by both fans and experts, not by the fighter himself. These two boasters are not even close to be in top 10.
This is what we call "calling a kettle black". Rigo tops out at about 124-125 in the ring,and loma weighs in at 135-136,so that's a 10-12 lb difference. On the other hand Walters weighed in at 145 for his last fight, so he would only have 9-10 lbs on loma. Loma and his team have publicly come out and said that they wouldn't fight Walters because he's too big,and they wouldn't entertain a catchweights or a rehydration clause. So Walters would be to big for loma with a 9 lb weight advantage,but rigo is a coward for not agreeing to fight loma when he'd be outweighed by 10-12 lbs?
Again, when did Loma ever say "I won't fight Walters 'cause he's too big"? Deadbrain comment
Suddenly people forget who Loma is. I would not be surprised if he comes back and clean the devision with all these young guns including Lopez in the rematch, if it happens down the road. Even though undersized, but healthy Loma is the king of 135.
Rigo vs Loma is the fight which MUST happen. I can't even consider if I've ever watched a fight with so much skills in BOTH fighters. And they both should meet each other in half way and make it happen. I'd bet Loma wins by TKO in championship rounds in very close fight with a slight advantage for Rigo in scorecards when stoppage comes.
They all underestimate Dervy, do not count what he brings and what fighter he is to be. All I hear GGG was old/sick etc. I've got a feeling he'd deliver the same war to Canelo. THIS fight would matter.
The televised opener came in the Jr. Welterweight division.
26-year old Regis Prograis (15-0, 12 KO), 139, of Houston, Texas, went eight rounds for the first time as a professional, throwing over 100 punches per round en route to a unanimous decision over gutsy 25-year old Amos Cowart (11-1-1, 9 KO), 139, of Groveland, Florida. The referee was Sparkle Lee.

Derevyanchenko is also ukrainian not russian
What are the figures, again???? Who's he thinking gonna buy these excuses? This coward weight at fight was probably 129, which is his normal weight at fight, he just did not have to dehydrate before the fight, and Loma was 138, which was normal for him. 9 pounds difference, that's it. What is more amazing is that Matrix never used weight to bully the Cuban, just completely embarrassed and outclassed him with his skills. And now these excuses look even more pathetic with what Loma did to Linares, and with the REAL injury.
Really, are there any fans left? Or at least is there anyone who's gonna watch him again? Just curious
This is a good fight, fan-friendly and will be much closer than most think. Dervy will win a few rounds and won't look bad in lost ones. The judges will give wide scores in Canelo favour though.
still think loma smokes lopez??????
I do. Loma smokes Lopez at ease. You got too excited with this win. I am happy too though as now this trashtalker gonna end up in Loma's hands👏
yet loma spent his career in the olympics at 135 equivalent & is easily same size as Mikey,you lomasexuals will ALWAYS have excuses. lmao Loma is the weight bully dragging up no hopers after they suffered heavy ass whoopings at lower divisions,Mikey in last 3 fights has fought fighters far "bigger" than him let alone anything loma would face,& they warent coming off horrid losses like most lomas opponents. Safe to.say you don't know wtf your talking about.
Mikeys resume is 10x better than lomas overhyped espn agenda driven resume.
mikey would ko loma & you know it,thats why you make excuses like "weight bully"
You do realize that the am's lightweights are the pro's featherweights size, dont you? No rehydration staff etc.
Size difference between Mikey and Loma has never been vocaled by Loma as someghing that might hold the fight, at least if weight category is not more than 140.
You sound pathetic.
Fight Pulev. Ustiff has done nothing to urn a shot. Pulev hasn't done much either but he's had more than one heavyweight fight like Ustiff.
Your statement has nothing to do with common sence. In other weight categories, a champion often gets a chance for a championship fight in a new weight right away if he wants too. Why on a earth should heavyweight division be an exception for one of the two best cruisers in history?
Belive it or not, Spence fight is smart move for Mikey. It's a win-win situation. Even his die-hard fans recently started to realize Mikey'd been cherry-picking, so he needed a topdog in his prime. If he loses vs Spence - well, he's still a hero to chellenge himself, if somehow he manages to survive UD or wins - BANG.
The thing is that Crawford and Loma would have made Mikey look really bad, big chances for that. Only small punchers chance. And that would be a huge drop down. Spence is not capable to make Mikey look that bad, most likely he will bully him in late rounds to TKO. Big difference in outcomes for legacy.
Arum won't let it happen and neither will HBO after that donaire schooling now he relegated to Macau fights they don't want same thing to happen to Loma
LOL, do you even know who Loma is? There might be outpointing of Rigo or a nasty KO with cuban on canvas.
