      That's what I thought he looked like he planted his feet a lot more in this fight

          I think there are two factors:
          1. Loma started sitting on his punches in this fight. If you notice, his movements were mostly shuffle movements, no "chelnok" movements. So this allowed Loma to throw with more power.
          2. In 130 Loma has naturally more power, because he can eat and drink more during the camp.

            Not sure. It may be part of his natural growth into a professional fighter. If you watch his earlier stuff, GRJ for example, he was more mobile, played more with angles and was mostly happy landing shots no matter what kind they were. Basically, he still fought as an amateur.

            Need another fight before seeing if he just has more power, if his style subtly changed or if that was a fluke.

              He definitely looked like he was throwing with more power last night and it was great to see.

              Until this point in his short pro career I think it was fair to say that was his flaw (not much power behind his shots), but hopefully last night was a sign of things to come at 130 and above.

              If he can land shots with the power he did last night to go along with all his other tools then he will be hard to beat.

                Lomachenko has hurt or dropped everyone he has fought as a pro, the fighters he has stopped inside the distance had previously never lost by stoppage.
                this while learning to pace himself for 12 rounds and a bit weight drained
