I feel like Loma has more power than people think, but that, a lot like Usyk, Loma falls in love with throwing all his change-ups and set up punches. It feels like he throws 5 rounds of set up punches before he finally starts throwing power shots, and then it only takes two or three rounds to beat guys up and get them out of there. I feel like he instead of taking 7 rounds to stop these guys, or 7-8-9 rounds, he could get them out in 4 if he just threw more power punches early. But it's like he throws 6 or 7 soft punches for every one hard punch.
I get he wants to set guys up, but isn't a 7-to-1 ratio a little bit overkill? If he did more like GGG where it's more 50-50, I think he could KO these guys a lot sooner. And I worry he will just tire himself out relative to his opponent by wasting so much energy on half-punches.
Unlike throwing hard punches which tires you out but also tires your opponent out when you hit him, throwing half punches doesn't do anything to your opponent, but still tires you out. Against an elite, bigger opponent like Mikey Garcia, that could come back to bite him. Plus it gives your opponent twice as many rounds to hurt you, or headbutt you like tonight. If Loma threw 50-50 power punches from the first or second round on, his opponent would be gassed and beat up by round 4 or 5, and not dangerous anymore, but by throwing all these soft punches for 4-5 whole rounds, you let your opponent be strong for a longer period of time, which is dangerous.
I'm not saying Loma should abandon the style he has with all the soft punches, because I love his style, I'm just saying maybe both he and Usyk should adjust the ratio a little bit. Keep the same style, but turn the dial slightly more towards hard punches, instead of at such a high soft-to-hard punch ratio.Comment

On top of that when sarcasm is used to make a point, then there is no point because when facts are skewed, then they are no longer facts and dramatization doesnt help make a case. It would have been better if the other guy had just mentioned their actual ages and left it at that.Comment

Loma fans are obsessed with Davis, but I don't think I've ever heard Arum or Loma mention him once. Arum is always calling out Salido but he never mentions Davis. Now I know why. I've been saying Davis isn't ready, but now I think he beats Loma. Floyd should make the fight before Rigo, Garcia, or someone else derails the hype train. Not even sure Loma can beat old ass SalidoLast edited by Floyd is TBE; 08-06-2017, 01:55 AM.Comment

Why would you want any boxer to get overhyped? Two wrongs make a right? Anyway they weren't even lying, Lomachenko looked great, Marriaga is just better than you guys realize. Yeah he came up from 130, so did Lomachenko! Lol. Very recently in fact. And the first fight Lomachenko fought at 130 was against a guy who had come up from 126, Roman Martinez, a year earlier, so it's not any different, but Loma still won both fights.Comment

This is very true. Lom could get caught throwing an overabundance of light punches or simply wear himself down. He needs to drop a percent of the lighter punches and stop the showboating because both of those areas of his game could backfire like you said. Showboating like that doesnt endear fans to him and is a real turn off.Last edited by richardt; 08-06-2017, 02:02 AM.Comment

Shook of what? Garcia turning Davis into Carrot Top?
I'm sure that terrifies you if anything, as Davis will no longer have the necessary "requirements" for you to be a fan of him.
Are you not the slow, slurring mentally inebriated purveyor of the above quote?
Have him move up and prove it. But you know what would happen.
But hey, its not all bad news. I mean, Garcia could hit Davis so hard, some of his blood might even land on your face. You would be ecstatic I'm sure.Comment

If Davis beats Loma in 2018/19 Loma fans could say Vasyl was past prime
