The other question is if Rocky Martinez with his long, looping punches could drop Garcia, then what would Lom's concise punches do? Sometimes it isnt about chin, it is about the dynamics of chin and power which in a fight is a 4 sided dynamic with those elements of the two fighters that sometimes produces surprises that go against a rational expectation.
Lomachenko had shown skill, poise, defense, offense.....

The dude fights a 2 division champ in his 2nd career pro fight, Gary Russell Jr. in his 3rd, and is one fight removed from fighting Nicholas Walters, but yeah. Cab drivers. Some of you people are clinically insane.Comment

Right Russell jr was being compared to Floyd before that fight and the ax man was in p4p talks . But all of a sudden they're cab drivers lolComment

I think Lomachenko is special to the point that he can make top level fighters look like run of the mill fighters. Lomachenko is not just extremely gifted athletically, he is a superb technical fighter.
Mikey is absolutely a very good puncher, but people talk as if he's in there one punch KO'ing top level competition. That power won't be the same when you're never fully set, not landing like you're used to and also when you're getting cracked in return. We've sen Mikey on the floor against much lesser fighters.Comment

agree. it hasn't been a problem (if it could be) because the dude is just too damn good to be chin checked right now. garcia on the other hand has been dropped by martinez and hurt by burgos. we shall see if was caught cold (because in both cases it was early in the fight) or if he actually has a weak chin.Comment

you musta missed hopkins v murat lolThe Salido fight must have traumatized him, that's why he complains every bit of low blow and head butt, like, in the Salido fight he didn't complain but go through the pain and it costed him a history record in the books. I mean, the Salido fight was a foul fest, haven't seen that much foul fest since Pacquiao got fouled to hell by Sanchez or since Fernando Vargas got Ko'ed by low blows from Trinidad.Comment

Mikey's always dangerous, but I think Loma frustrates him and wins a decision. It's hard as hell to land anything of substance on him at this point. However, the new weight class might not be so good for him. I just want to see this. July '17. Let's see it!Comment
