    he's still mad green, when he's comfortable he should be fighting for a full 3 mins each round, he has great stamina.

His "I'm in your face while jumping around you and punching you from awkward angles" won't work against elite competition. It would work if he would have more power but Loma is not a new Pacquiao.
      It bothers me when someone with a 4-1 resume shouted out already as a future P4P star. We will see. I don't think so.a
      his defence is excellent man, Idk what you're seeing or not seeing with him. Walters altho good looks ordinary in comparison. This isn't any normal 4-1 guy, he's won 400 amateur fights and only lost once! 2 gold medals. He's the goods.

          I found it odd that pre fight Loma was rooting for Floyd, and then post fight he thought Pac won it.

            Loma's footwork is vastly more educated than Manny's. He can be elusive when he wants to be too. He's the sort of balance between defence and offence that makes for a great fighter.

            His power could certainly be an issue alright though. It's respectable without being anything special. You don't really know what he's going to look like against elite competition until it happens. For now you can just enjoy watching him do his thing.

              Walter is elite in 126 to me, but doesn't look special just another big guy fighting the smaller fighter, we will see what happens when Walters moves up. But his power could trouble anyone including Loma.

              What would you rate Russell as? Because other then Walters and Loma, who else beats Russell in the division?

                i think he doesn't put too much behind them, like he doesn't try.

                  Loma fights how Pac SHOULD fight. He ACTUALLY attacks in angles, not just in straight lines. He is without a single solitary doubt in my mind the future king of this sport.

                    Lomachenko is the truth. with his height of 5'6, he can move up to 147. This guy's the next superstar.

                      His not ''pretty hittable''.
                      This was a show of fight for him and he said himself he wanted to entertain and look good and such a big event.
                      If you look at his fight against the very fast gary russel he barely was hit by russel, he held his hands up high, ducking and dodging,, moving beautiful and blocking with the glowes. He changes style after his oppenent.
                      He can change boxingstyles and yesterday he tryied to impress with a not to dangerous oppenent, and he did impress.
                      Also rodriguez has never been stopped before.
                      Look at lomachenkos last fight, he hurt his hand and he boxed one armed while not taking any punishment and still outboxing his opponent with over 50 pro fights.
                      Lomachenko is a wizard
