Did loma really do anything special?

[McNulty]

In his 2nd pro fight...

Bernard Hopkins lost his 1st pro fight to a tomato can. Didn't stop him from becoming one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Lets not focus on how many fights he had, but lets look at his age and experience which were extensive.

Hopkins feasted on a generation of B-Level fighters at his weight.

He make the one of the greatest defensive boxer of all time look like an amateur. That's how special loma is.

What a ridiculous question. Rigo couldn't do a damn thing. It was incredible.

GOOD LUCK!!

Yes. He beat a guy that most of you built up as someone who's break his jaw, drop him with body punches and dominate.

He made Rigo who you lot claimed was an unbeatable look like a rank amateur. Straight bum. Owned.

Ya'll just hating, I seen a masterclass. Stiff Cuban got schooled and ya'll just salty.

[North Star]

Excuses, excuses. At the end of the day, Salido beat Loma fair and square.

Can't be fair and square if you intentionally miss weight.

[Eddy Current]

Can't be fair and square if you intentionally miss weight.

Well he paid whatever fine or penalty was brought on him and the fight went on, so all was fair after that.

Any weight difference in that fight is NOT a valid excuse for Loma losing.

[JmH Reborn]

He exposed this guy, as well as several other fighters missing heart

I thought Rigo was built differently, especially with his background. Im dissappointed

His age and experience were at the amateur level. The pro game is a completely different beast. Otherwise Bud Crawford, a guy that failed to make the U.S. Olympic team, wouldn't have completely outclassed an Olympic gold medalist in Felix Diaz.

In Lomachenko's 2nd pro fight he fought a 5-time, 2-weight world champion that came in overweight and he only lost a split decision in a fight where he almost scored a 12th round stoppage. That loss is irrelevant to me. Especially after his performances vs. Russell, Martinez, Walters, and Rigondeaux. I have him at P4P #1.
