Vasyl Lomachenko Vs Yuriorkis Gamboa

[HandsofIron]

Not a bad fight. Seeing as how Gamboa got his ass beat at 135 against Crawford, maybe he's better off at 130. I'd like to see Loma avenge his loss to Salido first and then maybe a fight against Gamboa or Walters.

Why did you even ask the question if you're just a Gamboa fanboy? You have your opinion, I have mine.

Gamboa has more power and throws prettier combos. When it comes to footwork, it's not even close. If you somehow think that all Loma does is "pivot to the right", I'm not sure this argument is worth continuing.

Okay, I'll reign it in then. Yes Loma hangs inside the pocket ducks punches and slip to the right and pivots( a lot like Pacquiao but much more intelligently).

Gamboa's knockdown Vs Solis> Loma's entire display of footwork as a professional.

He was beating Crawford, the same way Thomas Dulorme was for the first few rounds. Then good old Bud got the timing down. He does it in lots of his fights. Timing kills speed.

Thomas Dulorme was beating Crawford with Superior a speed and shorter punches before being rocked by one punch and then fighting on to provide a fight of the year effort while rocking Crawford in the process? Wow, I totally missed that part... Dulorme is 5"10 with 7 inch reach, these things matter.

I agree. People are forgetting just how good Gamboa is at the right weight. Heck, the guy was beating TC before his size started to lose him out.

Loma and his team don't want Gamboa.

He hasn't fought at the right weight in 5 years lol, it's not hard to forget. So how many fights of his have you seen since 2011? Lemme guess, one?

Yeah because he wanted the big fights...So he went up in search of them. Are you really blaming him on bull***** promotional issues???

I think it's safe to say that Loma has the greatest footwork in boxing history, at-least in my eyes, it's very similar to a prime Pacquiao, just far smoother. Also cleaner than Ali's or SRL's. Especially considering that he's a Southpaw.

The only downfalls I have with Lona are his chin & love of taking right hands to the face because of his stance. I Serbia outside & inside work getting better as he progresses because his mid-game is already top notch.

[PivotandRoll]

Yeah you're right. Crawford is just amazingly lucky. Have fun losing money betting against him then, or you could learn a bit about boxing and learn that timing is used to nullify speed. Crawford is great at it. Don't be mad, just watch some of his fights and you'll see how he times these fast opponents and then destroys them coming in. Just like Loma would counter Gamboa or catch him coming in, and lights out for the glass chin. Simples.

I've never bet against Crawford so far and even think the upcoming fight vs Postol is 50/50.

Oh, I see. Loma will do to Gamboa something he's never done to anyone....

Rigeondeaux, Willie Pep, Whitaker, Floyd and many more I can't be bothered naming have better footwork. It is quite excellent though.

I forgot Gamboa existed.

Rigo's? Are you serious?
