Comments Thread For: Vasyl Lomachenko To Face Fortuna or Martinez on June 11

[tiliheels]

I like the way Fortuna gets his guard up. No shoulder roll, lazy left, a well covered offense. He doesn't hang his chin out trying to counter.

he'll roll his shoulder every now and then but most importantly he throws shots that will clip you without you seeing them..lomo is a combo puncher going to be fun seeing him try to real off combos vs fortuna..

stop it right now..prove to me how lomo is worith 850k and walters is only worth 500k...that is a disrespectful offer and walters should find ppl who care to promote him instead of being treated unfairly...i dont want to hear about the wat if you win stipuations..NO THAT IS A FORM OF PRICING YOURSELF OUT BASICALLY. no one takes those deals and i'm glad they dont

Your right on the money part both should be equal pay with the winner getting x amount of money if wins. But let's not act like Walters hasn't given good offers in the past or act as if Loma didn't offer him some of his purse if Walters beat him.

If Walters is unhappy with Top Rank as reports have said he is for years he should leave them and try to find a better situation for him. Walters is a hell of a fighter and his lack of fights are part of the reason why he hasn't gotten paid more money that he deserves.

fortuna is the better match up.either way I will be going to the fight cant miss lomachenko's first fight in NYC!!!

[Mitchell Kane]

speak for yourself if fortuna wants to fight let him fight...he's just as fast as lomo..much stronger..and has a style that lomo hasnt seen for 12 rounds.

fortuna would break salido's face..straight up dog

Fortuna ain't all that.

You think Fortuna is going to bully Lomachenko?

I think you have it backwards, and Fortuna isn't good when he's backing up.

Fortuna keeps his right too low and his feet are too slow and too far apart...he'll be very susceptible to Lomachenko.

And don't over-rate Fortuna's handspeed...yeah, he can put some quick combinations together, but he won't be able to rely on much of that against Lomachenko.

He'll have to rely on more one or two punches at a time, and he's not fast enough or have good enough technique to beat Lomachenko at that game.

And I think Lomachenko's conditioning will hold up just fine against Fortuna.

But we'll see how well Fortuna's stamina holds up.

Looking forward to this fight if it gets made.

Loma-Fortuna is by far the better fight and definitely a tougher fight for Loma. Martinez would get shut out. Loma is the favourite against both men though.

Great to see him fighting again & at world class level. I'll Take either Martinez or Fortuna TBH Both quality opponents. Favouring Lomachenko over both..

Martinez might be pulling out over money issues. I heard they offered him $50,000 and half off Crawford's PPV as well as two years free Amazon prime membership if he wins.

Showtime was willing to offer a rights fee if Arum moved the date. Arum didn't take them up on their offer. There was a way to get Walters a fair payday and Arum passed.

i didnt pick a winner..it is a damn good fight...and fortuna and lomo are totally different i just think lomo has to adjust and not throw in combos bc that is wat fortuna wants.
u're the first person to ever call fortuna slow tho...u sound completely like an idiot for it as well...boht of these men have world caliber speed
3 inch reach advan for javier...he knows how to use it...

this is a world level fight both men get full credit for the win if it is done the right way..

how about lomo going backwards?? seen the salido fight??
lomo is front foot heavy if he is that with fortuna that means he better be ready to trade punches...i'd favor fortuna bc he's a master at throwin looping shots during exchanges while not being their to take shots flush
