Comments Thread For: Donaire Ready and Willing To Fight Lomachenko Next

[jai mari078]

Would love to see this fight!!!!! I like both guys and would hate to see either lose. I felt Lomachenko got cheated against Salido being that Salido didn't even try to make weight and pretty much came in as a welterweight and Lomachenko still almost stopped him.

Major props to both guys if they make this fight!!!!

Good Match up

Fouling is apart of boxing. Maidana fouled as bad or worse than Salido in his first fight with Floyd. Many here got a kick out of it. And Floyd still managed to win 8+ rounds. Just sayin

salido was fouling like he was possessed by rabies. i don't think salido was throwing any punches to the head it was all low blows mostly (or as his fans call it "body punches"). plus salido was 36 lbs heavier.

maidana wasn't fouling nearly as much as salido.

lomachenko will clean up the ring with donaire's face. deal with it.

he was actually 147 against rigo. i remember there was an article that said he rehydrated to 147.

donaire is a bum and disrespects the sport by beating NOBODIES. he will never find his courage and fight rigo ever.

Pure myth. Donaire weight 129 pounds against Arce on fight night. Am I supposed to believe was 18 pounds heavier than that vs Rigo?

As for calling Donaire a bum... if he is a bum, why is it such a big deal that Rigo beat him?

Bad, bad style matchup for Donaire and kind of a lose-lose fight for me as I'm a big fan of both guys. Still, I hope it happens.

A question to Rigo fans: if Loma beats Donaire, will he be top 5 P4P, too? Or does it only work for Rigo? Or maybe Donaire is not a good win any more because "Rigo took his soul"?

Well he won't be top 5, but he will be top 10 for sure. Fighting Salido, Russell Jr, and Donaire back to back to back and coming out with barely 1 loss is grounds for top 10 P4P. "Why not top 5" you ask? Donaire is not The Ring champ and looking virtually unbeatable like before the Rigo fight. He looked very, very beatable against Darchinyan, in fact he was losing on the scorecards. It would be a very good win for Loma, but an expected win. And when a win is expected it kinda takes steam off of it, just ask Floyd, he's gone through those high standards his whole life.

To summarize it up briefly...
Loma did the following -

• Landed more punches
• Higher connect ratio
• He hurt Saldio bad
• He kept the fight clean
• It was only his second fight

He was arguably robbed, he fought a better fight than Mayweather did against Maidana.

On what planet

Maybe, but we don't know how Loma gonna react to arguably the best left hook in the biz doe

Pac-algeria should be on the undercard of this fight.

It was reported that he weighted 142,

I applaud him for willing to take challenges, but I think he's come to a point where he's trying to convince himself that he can win the fight when the reality is far from it.

The lead up to this fight, if it gets made, will include some members on this site reciting Donaire's past accomplishments like the Bible. Reminding us of his triumphs of 2 years past and that he's faced tougher opponents.

Then the fight will happen and he'll lose 9-3 or 10-2.
