Loma's last opponent just lost on Telemundo

[Redd Foxx]

Flashy style? Stop. You know boxing well enough to recognize that he is a complete fighter and fundamentally impeccable. He had a rough fight with a game, veteran Salido, early into his pro career, and you consider this a knock on him? This is boxing. Fighters are allowed to be challenged in the ring. That's how fighters learn and grow while fighting. He also won. You are allowed to struggle. Not every opponent goes down with the first shot.

I respect what you're saying but for me it comes down to a personal lesson. I used to be all about speed and my boxing coach warned that some guys were going to walk through my jab and smother me. To bring this home, he had me spar with brawlers who busted me up pretty good. When I see Loma I see a guy who isn't generating power from the floor up and the Salido fight is an example of how not applying power can get you in trouble. Look at how Danny Garcia ate numerous punches in order to find that left hook against Kahn. It's the same principle. If the punch doesn't stun the guy, he's going to be firing back. Loma's style hasn't changed since Salido. He's still emphasizing speed, mobility, and accuracy at the cost of strength. It's what he knows and it's already brought him far but it's better suited for the am's than pro. I know that a guy like Walters is going to walk up and take his head because of the way styles make fights.

I have nothing against Loma and I actually want to see him do well! I absolutely love watching his choice of combinations. He's quite sharp at reading his opponent's body language and launching into a combo that play's off of his opponent's slightest movements. Something that only great boxers have.

Loma vs Cruz could be in the making

[SilverMiles]

People are mesmerized by the flashy style but Loma is shy on power and can't keep a strong fighter off him (before you guys argue, Salido already proved me correct).

If proved you right you mean he took a fight against a world champion in his 2nd fight, got a split decision, and had Salido on ***** in the last round than yea you're correct.

If that's how you have to spin it to make yourself feel good as a fan, far be it from me to take that away from you.

I think it's cute though, how people act like he's a wee lad in only his "2nd fight", but when it's convenient they'll turn around and boast his 400 whatever amateur fights as proof of his greatness. So, which is it folks?

[soul_survivor]

I know people will hide behind him only having 6 pro fights but he's a champ and he's going ten rounds with guys who are easily beat on Telemundo. Must be embarrassing.

Most talented fighter since Roy Jones...

Yea but in the other 10 rounds loma looked clue less and he did was clinch. But he won the last round though!

YOu don't know ****. Lomachenko is already on the pfp path- He'll knock off any caliber mexican that comes his way

[Eff Pandas]

LOL at dogging a guy with 7 fights or whatever over a guy losing on his insane resume for a guy with so few fights. Granted it is kinda ****** he's talked as being a P4P level guy with his resume & brief history in pro boxing, but you can't **** on his opponents when most everyone aren't fighting guys of 1/20th the ability of the guys he's fought within their first handful of fights. The guy is for sure in the discussion of the best 7 fight resumes in the history of boxing if not outright got the best resume for a guy with so few fights.

[jmrf4435]

Salido should have been ****ing DQ'd with all the low blows. Salido used veteran dirty mexican tactics to barely escape the wint

Not to mention his age and his WSB fights which are pro bouts in all but name(and that's still up for debate wether they count in his record or not).....and by the way, I think he didn't even score a KO there...

Lomachenko's flaws were there to see in his fight with Salido(well, his lack of power is apparent in every fight), but his fans still act like Loma is some kind of otherwordly guy........Mikey Garcia, Gamboa, Marquez all showed what p4p caliber fighters do to Salido.....and Mikey is younger than Lomachenko...
