      Loma is definitely ahead of the curve. At the same time he is older with a boatload more amateur experience. In my opinion both are phenoms as this phase of their careers. Jones obviously proved he was an ATG. I think Loma will follow along that path with his own entertaining style and skills.

      Yeah, Loma has many prime years ahead of him. He's young in pro boxing years. 400 three round fights with head gear and big gloves doesn't damage young fighters like some people believe.

        I used to think that when I was a fan of his, but now I see a KO waiting to happen, if he fights a skilled puncher. He fought a C class mismatch tonight and didn't impress much.

        I'm sure he'll go nowhere near Garcia. Fight with Davis won't happen because of Arum and Floyd. I don't know about Berchelt and Corrales.

          Loma punched himself out against that bum.

          Did you see him step out in the 7th round with his mouth opened?

          I notice sh^t like that.

          Davis would have Marriaga in an ambulance.

            NOBODY with 400 amateur fights is young in boxing years.

            Now he's laid-off because of 2 cuts.

            That's the last thing a 30 y/o fighter needs...especially after a string of weak opponents.

                We'll see what happens. I'm betting on his skills to keep improving. I've been wrong before though. After only 10 pro fights and what he has shown....I'm pretty comfortable leaning his way.

                  People said the same about golovkin 4 years ago now even his trainer says he's old lol

                  Just cause you're good at 30 doesn't mean you'll be good at 40

                      Honestly, nothing was impressive about tonight's fight. I specially disliked the showboating (uncalled for against such overmatched opponent) and patting Marriaga's head. WTF was that?

                      I can't envision him trying that with Davis or Mikey and getting KTFO for his effort.
