Thank God I've seen a lot of great boxers in my time so I don't have to share this opinion.

No way Floyd is P4P more powerful than Loma... I actually think Loma is the stronger man physically...Floyd might just edge him out in speed though... Loma will do quick pity pat punches and then deliver a power punch to the body (like last night)...Loma doesn't have devasting heavy hands... But what super athletic boxer with incredible speed had huge one punch power besides RJJ? Guys like GGG and Kovalev have those really heavy hands but their not as athletic as Loma or Floyd.Comment

Loma loves going to the body... maybe he's trying to impress Roy who never shuts up about body shots... I'm waiting for someone to truly test Lomas chin... Walters is the man to do it... but I dont think he has the skills to beat Loma... Rigo isnt gonna knock Loma out but he's the one man who might outpoint him.

As far as OP:
It does looks he is on skates as Col Bob said lastnight on the TR broadcast - like his legs have a mind of their own and are separate from his upper body.
Have to agree with others about the sitting down on his punches, although I do think he does sit down on body shots moreso than other punches. That is why Salido, Russell Jr, and the guy last night started to fade. Russell was taking hellacious body shots
Personally I could have watched him do that all night. Bring on a better fight.... Walters, Bandido Vargas, Salido II, Nonito something like thatComment

So ya'll must had missed what Tim Bradley was doing last night because his footwork was much more masterful and his boxing. Plus he wasn't fighting some unknown bum. When Lomachenko got in there with a champion he lost and that wasn't any Manny Pacquiao.
All this he's a masterful boxer talk is only being hyped because he is of a pale complexion. The commentators last night on the broadcast tried to say that Bradley was emulating Lomachenko and that they haven't seen footwork as great as Lomachenko ever in the history of boxing, even greater than Mayweather and Pacquaio lol. I knew this was going to happen...Comment

It really makes me feel dirty that I love a fighter as much as bigots like Slimshandy, Pac=Duran, and Freedom. But **** it, Loma is simply amazing I won't let their bigotry sway which fighters I support.Comment

He is really great but he still needs to prove he can fight and beat a guy convincingly who will try to rough him up like Salido did. People say that fight "doesn't count"...yes it does. Salido has a win, it was fairly close and he used a lot of rough tactics but you will come up against pro fighters who will happily use them and you have to use your skills do make sure you can get a win. He didn't that time but i think he needs to rematch him. He has a belt too so if he wants to move up a division and win a world title there then that might be a good rematch and a way to redeem something and prove something that he can deal with someone who will rough him up by any means necessary.
But yeah his skills are brilliant, there is just that little question mark for me.Comment

Obviously last night wasn't a quality enough opponent to compliment Lomachenko too much, but his improvement since his first fight is night and day. I said after the Salido fight that Lomachenko would probably be as hard to beat as anyone in boxing by his 9th or 10th fight, and it's looking like he's well on track to make that prediction accurate. He's growing very comfortable and everything is jelling together.
He does need to step up next year. This was a bad, wasted year for Lomachenko and he needs to make up for it.Comment

Loma truly is one in a generation talent like Floyd was, his footwork is amazing, his defense is on point, his combinations are amazing, the only thing I would like from him if he could start sitting down on his punches also that last body shot was almost exactly the same as GGG vs MacklinComment
