And just like that, Loma gets old overnight

[War Room]

I didn't score the fight, too many fights to bounce around on last night, but from what I did see was a 16-0 noname nobody kicking Lomachenks ass. Those scores look wide, that kid had to have won more than 3 rounds.

Plebs saying he was rusty, he fought 10 months ago. Fighting 1x a year for a 35 year-old guy is beneficial and preferred.

Not much time left for old Lomachenki.

Yeah it’s the worst I’ve ever seen Loma. He’s always been small at 135 but at this point he’s been there for years willingly so can’t be used as an excuse. Really would like to see Ortiz again to see how much of a factor he was, kid was way better than advertised.

his style is based on reflexes which go with age. the handspeed doesnt matter, look at RJJ he still had fast hands but the timing was gone.

the blue print was out there to just outwork loma, now when he was younger and at lower weights guys wouldnt open up as easily on him because they were afraid of counters but at 135 there are guys willing to eat a counter if needed, they arent afraid of his shots at 135 anymore.

He was pretty good, mentally strong.

Everyone will be encouraged to fight him now. It's a good thing.

seemed more rusty because he looked great the fight before this

Another hype job that didn't live up to the reputation given to him. Don't worry they have Bivol and Beterbiev lined up as the next ones.

A bit harsh. Skill set's unreal, and tbh, he's undersized at 126, never mind 135.

As someone said above, he's made his own bed being up at LW for this long but he's looked up against it and monumentally smaller every time at this weight class, so size still has to be factored in to considering whether he's actually good or just a hype job.

Put it this way, imagine if Andre Ward spent the final half of his career up at HW. Or Mayweather went ahead and fought loads of killers up at MW

I'm going to let you in on a little secret..... he didn't look good against Lopez

135 never was Loma’s best weight division. I think he’s only hanging around for the big fights.
