How long would Lomachenko survive...

[Santa_]

All 12 if we're talking the Crawford that fought at 135.


Lomachenko looks a lot better at the new weight. He must have been draining down to 126.

how long would andre ward last against tyson fury? About as ****** a question as what youve just asked

No crap. Crawford is weighing 157 on fight night while Loma is weighing 135 or something.

But I think Loma would last the entire fight, I think he has those kind of skills. I don't think he wins but he doesn't get knocked out.

When Loma lost to Salido, he was massively outweighed and dude had juiced up for that fight, even so Loma came back and almost dropped him (in his second or third fight as a pro too).

Aww man stop bigging this Loma guy, even just by mentioning his name you bring him reputation as if he is shii1it.
When people here kept comparing him to Rigo and talking about how technical and how great he is, I thought maybe he wasn't another white hype balloon. Guys here kept accusing me of being a anti-white racist just because I hadn't watch him. So I watched vs Salido and concluded that people here were mostly HBO influenced brainless slugs.

That was like his second or third fight, he was outweighed by 20 pounds and he was fighting an extremely battle tested veteran. You want to see real skill, go watch the Gary Russell Jr fight, now that is a freaking master session. I thought GRJ was going to be untouchable and Loma picked him to pieces. Ever since the Salido fight, he has utterly destroyed everyone he has faced with ease.

If the goal is just to survive, then Loma could last 12 rounds without much trouble. It's not like Crawford would be gunning for the knockout if he was winning rounds comfortably.

I'd rather see Loma against Paulie Malignaggi.

Loma probably wouldnt get hurt. Paulie just might.

Don't get dramatic guys. Loma recently said he may soon hop to 135 and Crawford saying he's staying at 140 for now. And, they have only one inch height difference. They're not the same size but let's not pretend they're all that far apart.

I think 6rds sounds about right. I don't think Loma's strengths play well to Crawford. Bud would likely start out very cautious and start catching him with some hard shots in the 3rd until he eventually broke him down in the 6th.

Crawford struggled a bit with gamboa's speed...I'd expect the same with loma, but even more so cuz loma is more disciplined than gamboa. It would be an interesting fight...crawford wouldn't get the normal advantage he gets from turning southpaw. I think crawford would have to step to loma and apply pressure to get the stoppage.

There was a trainer who said Gary Russell KO'd Crawford in a fight (non-boxing).

The trainer said that he wasn't going to put Crawfords business all out there, but said that Crawford didn't get the best of it, then talked about how Crawford doesn't have the best chin. So basically Gary Russell tapped that jaw lol.

Loma doesn't have near the power Gamboa has. His shots would be inconsequential in comparison and if they traded the way Crawford and Gamboa did, it would end quickly.
That said, I'd pick Loma to beat Gamboa by decision. I think Bud (and time away) may have ruined Gamboa.

Can we call agree to stop hyping Loma based on his number of pro fights. No one ever counts that he had 7(?) semi-pro fights which were pretty much the same as pro.

Great fighter, but he has more pro fights than his pro record states.

He has more than enough power to earn respect. Crawford was troubled by gamboa's speed, not his power. His change to the southpaw stance is what enabled him to eventually time gamboa with the right hook...we'll have to see him do the same from the orthodox stance vs a southpaw. Gamboa also lunges in a bit and gets into exchanges which i don't see loma doing. I think the size advantage would be the ultimate difference.
