He's not gonna KO many guys, but it’s sharp & powerful ENOUGH to make a guy think twice about getting too loose in there with him. Look at the faces of the last few guys after the fight. Not many mfers had Loma looking like that regardless of how you had it scored.
    Loma has always bruised up tbh man. Marriaga barely won a second of the fight and left Loma marked up.

      In Malignaggi’s welterweight debut, he knocked out Michael Lozado and people had the same reaction. Some thought he would have more power at 147.
      A few fights ago you were dismissive anything Haney and labelled him a fraud. Compared to how you used to view him your tone has changed somewhat. Of course giving him any credit is out of the question I know But deep down I know you are impressed. Power is generally the last thing to go in a fighter. 34 years is not old especially for a fighter that has not been on the receiving end of bad nights in the office. His only loss before yesterday was to a undisputed champion in a extremely competitive fight

        Although I agree with you in principle, the use of undisputed Champion is so fluffing of Taylor, just like Kambosis is a very ordinary fighter and was undisputed so was Taylor, people only use paper titles when the name of the fighter cannot stand on its own with the same impact, Devin looked good beating an overrated Prograis, the big fights are yet to happen with Devin, in time he will have to prove it for real with elite ****ers, Devin is only just reaching his prime he hasn't any manpower yet he is still maturing his best will be in another 2/3 yrs unless derailed before then.

          Taylor just got old overnight. Infact because of injury and taking his eye of the prize since his win against Prograis and him leaving Shane, every performance has been shoddy. He was a game fighter not super elite but good enough. A worthy undisputed champion when you think about all the fighters at 140 at the time. Kambosos as you rightly stated was not even 3rd best fighter in his division. Nevertheless Devin still beat on him twice in his own back yard , something Teofimo couldn’t manage.

          Devin called out Loma when Loma was the matrix and no one wanted any part of him. Everyone figured Haney was bluffing. He then became undisputed and still wanted to fight Loma. He arguably lost the fight but I like his ambition. I like Tank more as a fighter but he has zero ambition and fights only when the cards are heavily in his favour so I’ve got no time for him now until he steps up his competition and stops tweeting from the sidelines

            You think so? I honestly didn't see anything different with Devin when he fought Kambosos for the second time. Yeah, he got a flash knockdown on Regis, but Regis wasn't hurt. But he did buzz Regis a couple times, hurt him a couple times, but didn't knock him out or stop him. He did the same thing to Kambosos the second time around. He hurt him a couple times but couldn't drop him or stop him.

            Maybe he's a little stronger but it's so little as to be pretty much the same as before.
            I'll have to see more at 140 tbf, but I think he let Regis off the hook. If he followed up with some combinations in the mid rounds, he could have seriously hurt him.
