Great performance by Loma

[Leonis]

I already knew Loma is a great fighter but damn it i never realized he was that fast. Although Rigo was the smaller guy Loma was visibly so much faster i couldn't believe it

Good points. I see Loma's skill really being rooted in fight science. It's very rehearsed, technical, and methodical. Roy was an athletic freak that looked like he was freestyling at times and did it with godly power.

I believe Loma's techniques will carry with him longer than Roy's did, and Roy's abilities were something you can't simply train for.

Yeah, exactly how I feel. Prime Roy will never be duplicated, the guy just went completely off the script and it never mattered. Lomachenko will be smart to rely on fundamentals when he ages. Although i'm curious to see what an older Lomachenko will do when he doesn't have all that athleticism to rely on.

I agree it was a great performance. I was sure he would win but I didn't expect him to win so easily. He smacked Rigo all over the ring when he could get his hands free from Rigo's desperation holding. Rigo almost never hit him and quit in frustration just as others have done against the boxing master.

Can you really say he looked good? Rigo was making him miss. I can't remember him landing anything memorable. I don't know, I was expecting a much more dominant performance considering the size mismatch and the age advantage.

I so the *** miss prime Roy Jones! I was depressed when Leonard, my all time favorite fighter was gone from the sport and was looking everywhere for who would become the next Leonard and while Jones and Leonard are two entirely different en******, I could not believe it when I saw Jones for the first time. Ironically, I met Jones the day before I knew who he was because he was wearing a Leonard shirt and then I saw him on TV in the 88 box offs the next day. I met Leonard once and Roy Jones twice.

He could always save his money and retire before his athleticism leaves him. That worked for Ward.

hopefully, I think this guy has at least 7 good years left though.

I am not going to be hypocritical about it considering I criticize Andre Ward, I'm not liking what Loma is polishing in his gameplan, he's adding dirty tactics to it, punching after the bell, and some elbows.

Right after Rigo had him in a headlock.

I laughed at that very very-post bell shot.

Well deserved.
