    Lomas Speed/Reflexes in mid 30’s

    Pretty astonishing to witness there is very little drop off/degradation in his reflexes and speed. Usually lower weight class fighters you can see a noticeable difference in speed and reflexes when they hit mid 30’s. Loma is pushing young prime high class fighters to the brink with it, haneys mouth was open from round 6 on.

        Maybe you all are seeing something I didnt. Loma was on in a lot of places, but:

        1. He lacked the power to crack Haney's chin.
        2. He took a lot of breaks, and let Haney off the hook, and in fact, fatique is probably why he couldnt burn haney in the 12th like he did in 10 and 11.
        2. He didnt do as much of the disappear and reappear act as we saw before the Lopez fight and also against Nakatani, where boxers spin around looking for him and get cracked. (For instance he likes to circle right, square up, and crack with a left hook from the other fighters 9 o'clock. I didnt see that move last night.)

        He was probably heavier than usual last night. So he moved well, but not like before. Assuming he did his best, I dont think his best now is what it was.

          Well He visibly hurt haney in the 11th round. Haney is also much bigger than loma and loma isnt a power puncher at 135 he hurts you with volume.

          He also closed the fight strong and pushed the pace.
