The hurt excuse doesn't fly with me. So he was he not hurt when he opened up and started throwing 60 punches a round late in the fight? He was careful because he didn't want to get caught with something big and that's exactly what happened in the 12th round. Lomachenko wanted to play it safe early on and then try to drown Lopez in the late rounds when some of his power would be zapped. And for a few rounds it definitely worked for him, but again, in the 12th he got hit with some big shots that he was trying to avoid all fight.

Tank would starch himComment

Too fast, too explosive, too powerful.
Do fans really think Loma looked good vs Nakatani?
Looked slow and bloated to me vs some one-handed lanky bum with zero defense & not a clue how to fight a southpaw.
He looked flat as a fart.Comment

Based on watching them fight, not to mention I'm 100% positive Tank would put Loma to sleep. The dude shelled up for 7 rounds straight cause he felt Teo's power once off a body shot and was scared to open up. Even when he did start throwing punches back he was throwing the safest punches he could get off without leaving himself open for too long. Punch for punch p4p Tank is a bigger puncher than Teo, he just showed you he can stop a 140lber who had never even been knocked down before, I don’t know if Teo's power will carry up to 140, and Loma was shook of it. Tank will flatline that dude.Comment

Um, I didn't see it that way. Lomachenko looked strong and his defense was sharp. Of course he had the big edge in hand speed and quickness and took advantage of that. But couldn't tell much in that performance as he wasn't tested at all and did whatever he wanted to in there.Comment

yall really need to stop this nonsense about him being hurt. He was a betting favorite and most of this site picked him by stoppage or wide decision. he was afraid to throw a punch the first 6 rounds because he allowed Lopez to get in his head. He started throwing punches because Lopez tired and then he lost the 12 by getting hurt and then deliberately headbutting lopez while he was hurt with about 30 seconds left in the fight. That basically sums up the fight. Had he opened up earlier, he would have been stopped. He was ringside at the Comey/Lopez fight. He even said in a post fight interview, WELL BEFORE ANYTHING ABOUT A SHOULDER WAS MENTIONED, that Lopez was a strong fighter. Just tell it like it is. If his shoulder was really that bad, he wouldn't have been throwing punches in rounds 7-12. If you're hurt, postpone the fight. Simple as that.Comment

I have no clue who would win. Lomachenko seemed hesitant of Lopez's power for half their fight. I think Tank has more power than Teo. But Tank is smaller than Teo and can be out boxed easier. I can see Lomachenko making Tank look like a novice for 12 rounds but I can also see Tank knocking him out. I am no fan of either and they both have the dumbest pieces of sheeit for fangimps. A double knockout would be the best outcome.Comment

I got Tank.
I think it would be a great fight too.
But I think the deciding factor will be Lomachenko getting caught.
The main thing between Lomachenko getting caught by Tank and in his other fights will be that Tank hits 100x harder than these dudes like Linares.
When Tank catches him, Lomachenko isn't making it to the finish line.
But otherwise, I imagine Lomachenko vs Tank being a high level boxing match. Both guys can box and both guys have amazing boxing IQ.
I just don't think Loma has enough to win. He's not going to hurt Tank and Tank has equal level of pure boxing skill and iq.
He's going to catch him at some point and Lomachenko won't recover. He's gonna get finished.Comment

It's a great 50-50 fight, with Loma being the smarter fighter and Tank the more explosive one. I guess it all depends on how Loma feels at 135, if his body truly settles into that weight and if he's comfortable, then I'd go with Loma.Comment

Gervonta sizes up well with Loma and is explosive enough to catch Loma in the pocket. Plus he has youth and power on his side
Can Tank keep Loma on the outside like Teo did? Most likely not, doesn't have the reach.
Tank wins by UD after scoring a few knockdowns or Loma gets KTFOComment
