Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Marriaga on 8/5, Crawford-Indongo on 8/19 - ESPN

[Feint First]

Ward's resume:
Kessler
Abraham
Froch
Dawson
Barrera
Kovalev (twice)

Lomo's resume:
Salido (LOSS)
Russell Jr.
Walters
Marriaga (knock on wood)

But Lomo's would have you believe he's P4P #1?? GTFOH

[Mike D]

I get it you love him! I'm sure you have him P4P #1... I got him in the Top 10. I find it hard to believe with 1 loss and not much of a resume ppl put him in the Top 1-5. Over guys with NO losses and much bigger resumes.

You guys ranked him on future fights that haven't even happened yet!! I CAN'T see how BEATING Gary Russell jr.makes you P4P #1???

Judge the guy on his best win and his LOSS! Did he beat any P4P boxers?? No! Russell isn't even top 20 P4P IMO.

I don't do P4P lists but no I wouldn't have him #1. I would have Ward #1. I just find it laughable that people can try to tear down a fighter who's doing something that's really never been seen before. And when I say that I mean in the first nine fights of a pro career. I don't care about the amateur record and experience. That's a totally different world. I'm not saying you have to have him at the top of your list. Just damn...when I see people posting **** about he's an over hyped bum or just simplifying him down as "just a guy who got beat by an uber driver"...that's absolute insanity, dude.

Just wondering,will you give loma props if he should beat a smaller Rigo or will you say,well he should have beaten him he's the much bigger man

Beating Rig. at any size is going to be tough. Don't be silly. I give Crawford props for beating Gamboa even though he was much bigger. I just would lime to see him fight someone more decent. Imean again his nest win was over 3 years ago. When do you finally move on and give us another great win??? He 30! Not 21 or 22.

1 month is not enough to promote a fight of that magnitude,if your gonna do it,then do it right

Yeah but some of these f**kers are borderline autistic and don't comprehend that reality, all they know in their little narrow minded ass worlds is that the fight didn't happen so Lomachenko's a bum-coward-ducker

I told you hes in my P4P top 10. I never said he cant FIGHT. I give him sht for Salido but I know he's no joke either. Salido is a rough and tough SOB. Probably the scariest UBER driver EVER...Ppl just need to calm down a lil and let him do his thing. This fight kind of suks but if its on ESPN then its not bad at all.

I hate it when fights are on HBO or Showtime because no bars has those channels usually. But EVERYONE usually has ESPN.

I'm done being foolish. He's got extreme talent. Very rare talent and I'm actually I awe how good he is.

The only ones around him I think might beat him are Mikey and maybe Rig. But he'll NO!!! I wouldn't put money on anyone one of those fights. Way easier fights to make $$$$ off of. Like Floyd against McGregor.

Well you know just like mike D said,a fight of that magnitude isn't made in a month,promo etcetera ...

I like Marriaga, he's a fun guy to put in with many name guys, but Loma is among the handful of guys people discuss as a tip top P4P guy. Thats not a credible opponent for Loma.

Why the f#ck is Top Rank buttf#cking Loma's career? Don't they want this f#cking guy to be bigger then he is? Or don't they really believe in him or something? Do they just want him to have a prettier record before they put him against guys who actually have a fair to decent shot to beat him?

[Feint First]

Yup! If even that many wins??? 3 a year x 3-5 years??? I guess ue could get it???

20-1 is if he sticks to his bum twice a year routine lol. I seriously think if he becomes an Iron Man and gets 3 bums in every 12-15 months he maybe gets close to 25 wins before he hangs it up but that's his upper limit.

But hey when he's going to the HOFame he can still bring up his wins against Russell and Walters lol??? Russell was freaking like over 3 years ago?? How long is that gonna be his best win??? And Walter's isn't anything special. He was a HYPE job. Mark my words he's gonna get more losses...

Exactly why I said his ENTIRE CAREER's been a showcase lol.

[Shadoww702]

I knew this Rigo fight wasn't going to happen,i said here before,Bob will want to make sure Loma's first fight on espn is against a fighter that throws more then Rigo,and like mike D said,1 month is not enough to promote a fight of that magnitude,if your gonna do it,then do it right

Your right. That makes ZERO sense??? Fight on ESPN to get more fans SHT! Pull a Canelo/GGG. After the fight on ESPN pull Rig. out of the audience (Or other big name) and announce they signed to fight. Have a Good stare down in the ring and fight November/December or early next year. Plenty time promote then.

Assume Jennings & Whyte on the same card = them fighting each other soon & the winner fighting Joseph Parker soon after that. Can't say I'd be surprised who came out on top of all that as I think those are fairly even-ish fights although my pick would be Parker.
