Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares Gives His Thoughts On Lomachenko-Haney: "Lomachenko Is Not The Same"

[tkoboxingscene]

Just concrete gloves

You beat me to it LOL

[Dakuwaqa]

He’s on the decline

Still has enough to beat the top guys imo

[Smash]

i wouldnt put the nails in the coffin yet, people can have performances below expected, two in row tho would be a problem

[jackblack008]

I have to disagree with you Jorge, Bumachenko has always looked like crap when he is faced with a live opponent. How many times will it happen before fans in denial see this fraud for what he is?

Salido, Russell, Mariaga, Linares, Campebll, Lopez, Ortiz, I never seen a bigger hype-job in the years of following the sport ; AND I bet he still in one of these publized P4P, still! Even after Devin Haney schools him, these writers will find room for Lomachenka in their top ten, I promise you! But what did they do to Roman Gonzalez?

Haney may defeat him but no one gonna school hin

Just concrete gloves

thats why he was so slow

Stop with the excuses for this guy already before the fight. Now he's old and on the decline when he's facing someone that's probably going to put the beats on him. He's 34 and only has 19 professional fights, and don't come with how many fights he had as an amateur, its not the same wear and tear. Crawford is 35, Spence is 32, Andrade is 34, the Charlos are 31 or 32, no one speaks about them being old or on the decline, and they all have a substantially larger amount of professional fights. Fury, Joshua, Usyk, and Wilder are all in their thirties, no talk of declining skills, but for Loma when he's about to face the guy that has been calling him out over the years, oh, now he's losing some of his reflexes and skills. Give it a fxcking break and stop deep throxting this myth of a Matrix. I could only imagine the excuses if he were about to face Shakur.

hes clearly looked worse though so its just an evidence based approach. not everyone ages/declines at he same time/rate. if haney beats him its still a good win but its not the same as 2-3 years ago.

also haney had a chance to fight loma and chose to fight linares so not sure what you are talking about. he only called out loma because he knew loma was going in the lopez direction. it was safe to do so and he never offered loma a contract yet was quick to throw contracts at kambosos. that should tell you everything about that, and we know haney simply wasnt ready. it was just for press. now is the perfect time for haney to fight him. loma is small for 135 and haney is big. loma is declining and haney is only getting better. also its a fight that will almost certainly go to decision and the new star on the block almost always gets the decision if its somewhat close.

[Roadblock]

I guess Linares must be a “Loma fanboy” too making “excuses”.

What excuses, he is getting to the end of his career and is way smaller than Haney, truth is never an excuse, just truth, good luck to both fighters I agree with Linares Haney is too big, too young, and too slick, I would not be surprised if Loma retired on a loss in this fight.

More excuses, I swear.

More excuses, I swear.

you are the one saying silly things like "everyone ages at the same rate" "look at this other guy, hes 35 and still good" instead of looking at loma all and using the evidence that loma looked like crap in 2 out of his last 4 fights. the conclusion you reach though is that "loma was never good" which is pretty absurd given his career accomplishments.
