Golovkin talks about it, Loma does it.

Loma lost to a guy with 10 losses.

Now he beat that guy who got outboxed by Ricky Burns.
Ricky Burns damnit.

Both Loma and GGG are great fighters, but GGG is about to break Hopkins record and he will be one of the very few undisputed unified champions in the most prestigious weightclass.

A lot had Martinez edging out Burns actually plus he dropped him! As for Salido.. I thought it was a draw & Salido should have probably been DQ'd anyway. Besides id happily pick an improving & more seasoned Lomachenko to beat Salido decisively now. Its looking likely too..

[1g5a22]

I don't think Martinez is a better boxer than Murray anyway.. Achievement wise he may have the edge but that is never the whole story is it! Murray arguably beat two of the best MW's of the past decade (admittedly ageing) Sergio & AA..

[-PBP-]

this is so true. everyone seems to forget that martinez is coming off a robbery draw against salido. imagine if ggg fought someone coming off a robbery? cherry pick! why doesn't he fight so and so! ward!

He lost to Burgos too. He's lost 4 of his last 7 fights, IMO

Loma gets handed a shot at a title in his second professional fight,loses,and then gets handed another shot in his next fight. After winning he title he fights no one of name,and when he decides to move up 4 lbs,he gets handed another title shot. The guy is basically being handed opportunities based off of his amature career,and not based off of his accomplishments in his professional career. I guarantee you that if golovkin or kovalev had been given a title shot in their second fights and had lost,theyd have been sent back to butt**** europe,and we would have never heard of them again.

Good performance from Loma but lets not get carried away Roman Martinez is one of the worst so called world class fighters out.
If it wasn't for a load of dubious decisions he'd of been completely irrelevant years back.

He isn't as good as a Murray & probably not a LeMule or Geale either.

Heavily overrated due to his toughness & fan friendly style.
He's just a solid gatekeeper type really.

Good performance, the manner he won makes it that bit more impressive but Roman Martinez is what he is. A technically limited tough guy who leads with his face.

lets say for a second bute got the robbery decision win over jack and ggg moved up to figth him. what would boxingscene say......that's great? omg ggg's moving up and taking a risk? pretty sure it would be why isn't he fighting degale! bute just lost! he's willing to fight bute but not ward wtf? he's cherry picking the weakest champ! low expectations are a great thing to have. its like if eric crumble went the distance in a 4 roudn fight. people would be like wow he's better than ggg!

[mathed]

troll? ward said he would be heavyweight champ by 2016. now it doesn't matter what he says yet when ggg says 154-168.....its brought up every single day a thousand times. hypocrisy alert! why does ward continue to fight these low profile fights instead of doing what he said he would do? ward fans don't care or want ward to take risks as long as he wins. its so sad.

again, dude, i don't mind stopping on the bridge to listen to the dudes who live under said bridge make some jokes. just make sure they're worth my time. yours arent.

ward - kovalev is a signed fight. i'm shading kovalev. the winner will be the best p4p fighter on the planet.






just look at froch's face . "i worked for my entire life to get here, and i failed miserably. i'm just lucky this kid can't punch a bit harder.

"

i imagine that's how the rest of you looked. i was more jubilant than our andre

Ward DID say that he could beat a Klitschko and he also wanted (2) tuneups prior to fighting Kovalev. Since he has only gotten (1) tuneup under his belt so far, I wouldn't hold my breath on that fight happening this year.

The main argument that people use when coming at GGG is that he said 154-168 and people tend to cling on to that statement for dear life but when it comes to Ward, he can say what he wants, he is not held accountable. I think it's extremely biased and I can attribute most of it to Ward being American and GGG not being American but I know that there is also another reason as well.

However you want to spin it, but Loma has won his titles inside the ring, no outside like a certain fighter,

[1g5a22]

My gosh that right hook! One of the stoppages of the year! I thought Loma couldn't punch?! LOL Peach..
