Comments Thread For: Memory Jarred: Lomachenko Delivers Powerful Reminder With Kambosos TKO

[STREET CLEANER]

Kambosos is not a bad fighter but doesn't shine in any area. He has this tough guy persona which someone with so little KOes can back up.

He did what I mentioned before that his legs are slow and he doesn't know how to adjust or simply doesn't have the ability to do so. He had a nice fluke win against Lopez a fight that was postponed many times like the Catarrell/Taylor fight.

Kambosos was able to draw some good purses because at least he stepped up to fight top fighters and not sit on his tiltes. At least he has cojones.

Wow! Yes! Kambosos is tough. Great win for Vasyl Lomachenko and congratulations to him on winning the IBF Lightweight Title!

Tank fighting Loma at 36 is a bad look! Shakur is in his prime, undefeated, the WBC Champ, and soon to be a free agent! That’s the fight to make next! MAN UP!

Teo also overrated and overhyped. He underperformed clearly vs Kambosos though.

Then Lomachenko got outclassed by an overrated and overhyped in the face of Lopez. Then he beat an overhyped Kambosos (who beat Lopez). So what does all of this say about Lomachenko's record?

Loma did a fantastic job last night. I expected him to win but not so brilliantly. Cong****. Bring on tank. He’ll never fight Loma cause he has no balls. He’s a joke. People complain a bout Canelo but forget tank is 30 years old and NEVER fights elite fighters. Canelo has fought them all for the last 10+ years minus ONE fighter.

So anyway, Kambosos sucks. B or C grade boxer. Tough, with a lot of heart, but way way way overachieved.

You might think he was pretty great if he fought a bunch of 2nd tier guys, but Kambosos is a fearless guy who’s stepped up repeatedly to the elites. In that circle he comes up short. He’s not a great fighter but he certainly doesn’t suck.

Classic Loma is back.

Loma vs Shakur is the mega fight for this year at 35!

[P to the J]

Tessitore need to stop trying to make it ok that Haney got a gift decision Loma's last time out. Wasn't the worst robbery ever, but was pretty bad considering Loma was fighting a full middleweight by the time they had both rehydrated for 36 hrs. Haney belongs to a protected class. It was straight DEI, woke bull****. Big fights should be held in Japan going foward. They don't play that **** over there.

Ahahaha wtf is this? Bat****

Kambosos is a level below Loma. He's an OK fighter, pretty tough, but limited and his rep is mainly built on beating Teo when Teo was physically messed up. He deserves plaudits for facing the best and not trying to extend his run as champion by defending against dross.

On the one hand, we shouldn't read too much into Loma beating him -- for me it was totally expected given the skill disparity. I thought the only worry would be if it went the distance and some home-cooking went on. Given how one-sided the fight was, t turned out there was no chance of that -- and Loma took care of business anyway by stopping him.

And so on the other hand, Loma did make something of a statement by that stoppage. Kambosos came up short twice against Haney, but was never beaten up. Loma delivered a systematic beat down, slowly at first, but by the eleventh that was brutal.

Time is, of course, Loma's biggest enemy. At 36 he is old for the division he is in and potentially only has one or two more hurrahs left in him.

Tank isn’t hugely skilled?! You drunk

Tank's power bails him out. He has speed. He doesn't have great feet. He is a solid fighter but he isn't highly skilled.

Look who he has fought. A bunch of dudes coming up in weight. He gets outboxed alot. I like Tank because he is fun to watch because you know at any time he can land a ko shot.

He needed every handicap he could get to fight Garcia. He cherry picks.

Loma will beat him up if the fight happens inside the next year.
