Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Believes That Vasiliy Lomachenko Is Limited In Skills

[Rebelrbg]

Zou Shiming also won two Olympic golds.. but got iced in the pros. It’s a different ball game.

Say it again!!!!! Damn, I wish thought of that.

Loma at 135 fighting taller guys who boil down to his natural weight—that’s the whole problem.

But we need to call this what it is. A Napoleon complex. He’s too arrogant for his own good. Loma believes he needs a challenge against bigger opponents because he dominates people his own size.

As he did hundreds of times in the amateurs.

It’s his career, his life. But as a greedy fan, I’d rather watch him in even size matchups.

God forbid someone isn't on Loma's jock like ESPN and Teddy Atlas. How dare Shakur go against the agenda !

Well people feel offended as Shakur hasn't earned the right to talk such nonsense wouldn't be so bad if it was true. Anybody claiming Loma is "limited in skills" is biased or a moron who doesn't know boxing. Loma is only limited by his size if he didn't have said skills he wouldn't of been able to go up in weight in classes where he is clearly outsized in every way. Don't get me wrong Shakur is skilled too but he hasn't been at high level for years like Loma.

Well he's been wanting to prove himself against Loma for a long time. The guy that's doing the chasing damn sure has the right to talk.

If Loma ain't dying in legit welterweight dossers' division as a natural featherweight, it's just because of his skills. Shakur should shut the fuck up and only fight. Analyzing is trainer and team's job. Fighters ain't bright in that department like in this example.

He’s just too small. He doesn’t bloat up in weight so when he fights at 135lbs he’s fighting welterweights in the ring. But P4P Lomachenko is one of the best. Literally…physically pound for pound, same weight on fight night.

Weight class are no longer a way to make fights even. It is used by most fighters to gain an advantage. Suck the life out of their body to fight naturally smaller fighters.

If boxing weight classes were literal, Lomachenko would still be undefeated.

Some of those "certain" Americans will root against American fighters like Spence, Crawford, Wilder, Stevenson, Haney, or Ennis. But root for non American fighters like Lomachenko, Usyk, Canelo, and Fury. So you're right. The forum is littered with them.

We’re sure your pulling for those fighters because their American bud lmao

We also know why you pull against them. Bud.

In fairness to Stevenson, he might be defining skill differently.

In football terms, saying someone like Xavi isn't skillful when compared to Neymar. You'd know that what the person means when talking about skill is the tricks and flashy side to football.

When I see Lomochenko box, I see someone is technically sound. That in itself takes skills but, if the person is thinking of pullcounters and slipping in counters whilst rolling punches, it won't hit the mark.

Dude these kids on here don't understand that stuff. Loma > Stevenson by far. Dude's a two time gold medalist and was walking through champions since he turned pro. These kids are in the weak new-era mentality of boxing and once you get into that mentality it's very difficult to get rid of it.
