    I give Lomachenko a higher chance than Martin. But Loma is also old. So that says a lot about “what could’ve been” had they fought 5 years ago or so.

      Loma gets clipped.

      Anyways, actually paid for the PPV, wasn’t complete garbage.



      It was a good event, I agree.

        Loma is not old. Look at the ages in co-main tonight. 36-27. Floyd- Canelo 23-36. The good ones can do it. By the time this fight happens, Davis will be 30, Loma 36. Loma fans should stop with the age excuses. Loma could not beat Davis at any point.

          Don't people say Loma beat Haney? (Not me.)
          Why is Loma all of a sudden old when Davis is mentioned?

          Confusing...

Beating the untested, Dollar General version of Cory Spinks isn't exactly a great victory for someone who claims to be the "face of boxing."
            Tank wants to drag Inoue up three weight classes instead of fighting the best at 135. Wait until Loma turns 40.

              Very convenient of you to say that. You’re not exactly unbiased here. Me on the other hand, am a fan of both fighters. Also, fighters don’t age the same. And bringing up Gvozdyk is the worst possible example you could’ve come up with. What does that fight even prove? How does that sparring match support your argument?

              Why didn’t Tank insist to Mayweather to let him fight Loma then? Seems like all other top fighters with a good name, forced their promoter to give them the opponent that fans claim they’re ducking.

              But very convenient for you to say Loma’s age doesn’t matter and that Tank beats any version of Loma. That’s a very dishonest take. Younger Loma can’t defend himself over such a claim, and you can’t be proven wrong about it. So that’s a very dishonest comment.

                Agree with everything up to the last sentence.

                Couldn’t disagree more about the last sentence. I don’t think it’s a forgone conclusion that Tank beats Loma now.

                The only LW I’m sure beats Loma is Shakur, hence Bob protecting Loma.

                Tank can’t afford to give away 4-5 rounds. That is what Loma did with Teo and look what happened.

                  His lack of work rate early could bite him in butt down the line in a super fight against Lomo or another iron chinned guy who could bank rounds.

                  Also comparing him to Wilder is laughable as Tank looks like a predator in the ring constantly stalking his opponent while Wilder pounced with wild undisciplined combinations, everything Tank throws is pinpoint and precise.

                    Because the PBC brain trust all of sudden want to fight him. Tank was his mandatory as the regular champion but his management team wanted nothing to do with him until Loma obviously started aging.

                      Yup Mayweather made sure to never match up tank with lomo early on. Now lomo is older and is obviously past prime he's ripe for the picking. Same thing Canelo did with GGG wait till you see signs of decline then make the fight.
