    Really excited to see him fight again in the future. Hopefully he doesn't wait too long because that wasn't much of an opponent for him yesterday

            How many times do you see Lomachenko get hit cleanly, where his head snaps back or he starts to wobble?

            He was an absolute wizard, my favorite performance of the night.

            Lomachenko's only weakness his his lack of punching power. He can knockout opponents with perfect shots or accumulation of punches, but he doesn't have that concussive power that fighters like GGG have. That's his only weakness.

            My guess is he'll get the winner of Gradovich-Selby, which is likely going to be Selby. I would take Lomachenko all day over Selby, who is a very underrated boxer.
            i agree, with you about his power, but dont you feel he still holds back. Kinda a habbitt from his amateur days. I think he does have power but he not willing to use it to much for some reason.

            Hecould have got Solido and Gary russell out in the round 12...

              Of course not, but you throwing around Verdejo>Lomachenko, that's irrefutable.

                Lomanchenko is a problem. He is a very good boxer puncher combination. Himand wailters is gonna be a great fight.

                Very impressed.

                  I'm backing the ginger. The skills might not be there yet and he's got slow feet but he acts like a champion and he's well schooled in the game.

                  I think Canelo is the future. But the future is hard to predict in boxing. It's a brutal sport. Sometimes one fight can destroy you.

                    I don't think we're going to see that fight for a couple years. It wouldn't be smart for loma's team to put him in there with such a dangerous fight so early, especially when he's still a little green as a pro.

                      Naw man, it's the other way around... Loma beats Walters tomorrow... The thing of it is.... If Loma gets walters out of the picture soon... what other big fight is on the horizon... No one else at 126 can touch him... Walters has power but in every other dimension Loma is superior... speed/footwork/technical skills etc etc...

                      The biggest fight in boxing is the waiting...
