Pretty impressive beat down. Loma still seems to have that ability to switch to those extreme, odd angles in quick fashion but I suspect he's not as smooth or quick as he used to be. He also probably requires a lot more breathing room and pauses during his fights to make sure he catches his wind,....even though it appears that he doesn't. A small guy at 36 years old moving like he does is extremely impressive. What other small guy was fighting like that at 36?! I can't see him fighting like this much longer at all. He's already old for a fighter of his size.Comment

I grant Kambosos was outclassed and outskilled from the getgo. He got beat to heck by feather fist Haney twice, who should have lost to Loma.
But it's pretty clear Loma would be undisputed champ if he'd taken the fight instead of Haney in '22, and I doubt Haney would have gotten the win as B-side. Loma didn't look like a 36 year old tonight, and thank goodness he didn't seem interested in leaving it to the judges. He may have beaten Kambosos into retirement.
NGL, if Loma can run the Vaquero/Shakur/Tank gauntlet, as a 36-37 year old on the final run of his career, I personally think there's no question that he's an ATG. That's an absolutely brutal road to undisputed.
