Pacquiao-Algieri Prefight & Postfight discussion & analysis thread

[crazed_z06]

Algieri look shook

[ИATAS]

seriously lomo should be getting bums like this out of there. i dont care if he hurt his hand, he shouldnt be going more than 5 rounds with this level fighter

Loma isn't really a big power puncher, he's not going to be knocking a lot of guys out.

[UTEP]

That should've been the opener.

[kiaba360]

difference between rigo and loma is, Loma goes offense first then defense

Rigo goes defense first then offense, and Rigo will literally go 20-30 seconds moving around the ring without throwing a single ****ing punch

Loma doesn't do that ****

They fight at completely different tempos too. Rigo tries to slow the fight down to a crawl. Loma goes full Roadrunner and peppers his opponent incessantly. Rigo makes his opponent over-think/think twice, while Loma forces his opponent to think fast.

Yeah the Thai dude was hopelessly overmatched but it was still cool to see Lomachenko work his way through that. His footwork is awesome. I think he still lacks a bit of bite offensively though. Seemed very reluctant to step to the guy and exchange even early on. Granted he didn't have to and could box circles around him but a few trades where he drove the opponent backwards would have been nice.

I personally think Loma is one of the best pure boxers on the planet, along with Rigo, but also has beautiful creative offense. Fun to watch even with only one hand working.

[Godsfly]

lomo is ok but clearly the board has overrated him.............

[El-blanco]

Regardless...even if Rigo presses the fight and the other fighter is apprehensive, he was called Boring. Some here were calling the fight boring, so I was wondering if Lomo will be held responsible just like Rigo is in all his fights, even when it's not his fault. I bet I can guess the answer.

They fight nothing alike.

[Divine Hammer]

well he called out Walters

Walters manager said the fight brings them nothing

lol

if loma can handle walters' power then he complete master classes walters.

loma is the truth. i'm convinced he is the real deal and the true future of the sport.

When rigo fights defense first, and creates long gaps in the fight without throwing punches, that's when people call him boring

Nobody says he's boring when he's actually FIGHTING, you're just making **** up to validate your point
