Comments Thread For: Vasiliy Lomachenko Wins Tough Decision Over a Game Jamaine Ortiz

[gluvsup]

Draw. And big props to Ortiz.

Loma’s giant-slayer act at 135 is nearing its end. Accelerated wear from fighting bigger men and a falloff in reflexes will make the end a brutal one if he isn’t careful. Remember Roy: one day untouchable. The next, unmissable.

He is in charge of his own fate. But he really should go down to 130 for his own health. Speaking just as a fan of unorthodox stylists, I miss seeing the pyrotechnics. The ask at 135 makes his accomplishments remarkable, but it also takes the shine off his work.

salido was ranked three in 2011, one in 2012, and two when he fought loma in 2013. how is fighting the second ranked guy in your division a journeyman? a guy who has been a top fighter for years is a journeyman? he even moved up and became a top 3 fighter at 130 after the loma fight. why be this biased? he fought a really good fighter and lost a SD. even if he had lost to some random unranked guy, that still doesnt erase his actual accomplishments. so many people seem to love fantasy boxing where their boxers dont actually fight anyone but they keep winning to keep those fantasy points churning. id much rather have lomas career than tanks because tank has fought like 2 top 10 boxers his entire career and they were nowhere near the level of salido the journeyman while loma took a couple losses while compiling a much better resume

He had 12 losses when he fought Loma, stfu with the excuses lol. If any other fighter lost to someone like that they would get dismissed. The double standards are hilarious.

Boxingscene is truly becoming a joke, they have jake Paul vs silva as a headline on there site, even on a night loma was boxing, what a joke, they really have a certain narrative, pushing certain fighters and ignoring others, the guy isn't even ranked or fighting ranked fighters and he is up against a guy that is easily a great grandfather, y not put up mayweather headlines he is always doing something, silva is older than floyd, I think I'm going to need a new source for boxing news because this site is only circus news

Man reading some of the comments on this nerd fest of a forum can give you a migraine. Good grief.

Loma lost or a draw at best, but don't let that get in the way of taking Ortiz 's career best and flushing it for the sake of the favorite.

Dude came out of a war zone to take on a championship level fight after a year off and won and folks still gonna hate. Hype job? Dudes on here love to hear themselves sound ****** af.

How is Ortiz a championship level fight, the guy had never been in a 12 round fight? Talk about biased. By the way, Loma didn't win, he was gifted a decision.

1. Being a Loma fan must be tough when watching his fights. He is the opposite of Canelo in that his punches do not look like homers. Are the judges seeing how clean they are? You only could hope.
2. The clenching strategy Ortiz had was effective to remove Loma’s inside game but it ****** to watch.
3. That was the absolute best Ortiz could do and it simply was not good enough. Please never rematch.
4. They better get some really good judges if Loma fights Stevenson or Haney because those are going to be insanely difficult fights to judge based on the nuances of the fast clean shots. I imagine that clean punching is going to be what decides who wins those fights.
5. Anyone that though Ortiz won needs to go back and watch the fight in slow motion. Ortiz did not land anywhere near as many clean shots as what you think.

No, no fighter that fought salido in their second fight would be dismissed, especially when they have the amateur pedigree that loma has. Name a single fighter in the last 30 years that fought someone as tough as salido in their second fight. You sound like a casual fan who is obsessed with zeros.

Don't agree with the score cards, but Loma won that fight by taking control in the later rounds even with ring rust. Dre said he didn't see ring rust in Loma. Served a lot time in the Army and you don't do much road work or sparing when out in the field.

Ward said he saw some ring rust but that he didnt think it was an age issue. But yeah, he doesnt look like he's been training daily at 100 since he decided to enlist.

Good news for Loma is Haney can't punch through a wet paper bag.

Then Loma should have no trouble bum rushing him then. One thing is for sure is that he is going to have to throw a lot of punches and take several risks if he is going to defeat Devin Haney. Which is something up to now that his opponents have been very reluctant in doing.
