Did Lomachenko CHOOSE to not stop Commey?

[Smash]

Oh yeah there are worse comparisons for sure. It seems like every young black fighter between 130-147 is the “next Floyd”. First Broner, it’s then Tank, Haney, Stevenson, Ennis. It’s ridiculous.

yeah, also hype is good, its not a bad thing at all, it just means a guy is doing well at the time and people jump on the bandwagon & then the fights end up being bigger events as people want to see the hypejob get his ass handed to him!

broner was pretty damn good at one point in his career and it was between him and gamboa i think who was going to take up floyds mantle

career hating a guy because he got some hype i dont think is a healthy attitude to have, u cant really hate one hype job and like another, there are other things at play here

Hate? C'mon. There's way too much crying in this thread.

Loma dominated and looked good. Just because I'm not saying "Loma the merciful chose to be kind to Commey out of compassion" or whatever isn't hating.

You're right. Fans can criticize a fighter without it being hate. In this case, who knows what was in Loma's mind in that 7th round.
To me it was pretty obvious he backed off but that's my opinion.

He definitely let the foot off the gas right after the knockdown instead of going all in for a finish, that much is clear.

It's not even that. I'm not criticizing Lomachenko, I'm criticizing something being said that I think is foolish.

[MaksBox]

In a past fight Russian interview he was asked that question. He said he felt bad for Commey and did not want to seriously hurt him.

[TreyShaw]

Yea I’m sure he preferred to give Commey a chance to land some haymaker and get ktfo himself.

Man some people are just flat out ******.

[real raw]

so loma could have stopped him if he wanted to, he could have punched teo in the first half of the fight if he wanted to as well, maybe they guy just doesnt like punching people any more

I might agree with this.....and I'm a Loma fan!

[_original_]

Him telling the corner to stop the fight was ridiculous and cringe. I’m glad Commey made the final bell and didn’t give Loma that stoppage win. Who the F does he think he is? His job is to finish the opponent.

[Boxing-1013]

I was impressed how he seemed less afraid to stand in the pocket and **** with Commey who definitely can punch. Maybe he has more confidence now against the bigger guys, don't know. Maybe he doesn't, but to me the last 2 fights have been a solid improvement compared to his performances against Campell, Pedraza, Linares where he was definitely giving away rounds.

Agreed.....

[Larry the boss]

Yea Loma let him live..I think he wanted to get rounds in
