Comments Thread For: Lomachenko To Linares: Let's Do This at 135, Do You Want It?

Some people will still find a reason to dislike Loma.

My brother, this is so true! It’s laughable to see the agendas. Great comment!

Some people will still find a reason to dislike Loma.

Most of the reasoning is because he's white or from eastern european and they are insecure about his ability, skill and current standing in the game.

I think that contributes to most of the reasons. The "reasons" used are more excuses as a cover up for the real reason which is blatantly based on ethnicity.

Take notes Keith Thurman!! I'm not a Loma fan but he's showing some courage!! Moving up and taking on challenges. That's what you do when you want to stay at the top.

Sounds good doesn’t it?! Loma isn’t coming off elbow surgery though!
Errol=Loma?? Looks that way in progress bro, most definitely a breath of fresh air! Promoters please let it be

I just can't understand how pro-boxers quit without getting hurt against Nomaschenko. Linares is next, smh.

Very easy to answer. Think of it as a fighter stepping into the ring and someone releasing a hornets nest where for the average person, they are not really hurt by a bee sting but all those stings coming from different angles. Hell, I would rather be hit by a punch than stung by a wave of hornets. His opponents just dont see a way they can win and they give up. They are overwhelmed.

Now it makes a lot of sense. Thank for a great analogy.
I noticed Linares cuts like toilet paper and gets frustrated and woozy seeing the blood (haemophobia is not uncommon). I have to admit Loma is so precise with his shots and has the best footwork in boxing. I say JL quits 5th-7th round. Oh, and Easter and Mikey don't stand a chance against.

Not going to happen, especially when Oscar asks for a 50/50 split and who knows what else. We all know Arum isn't going be paying Linares a 50/50 split and Oscar can't afford to pay Loma a big purse without him being the lead promoter. Besides Linares is mandated to fight Mikey next, which I'm pretty sure it will end up going to purse bid.

Loma is pretty cute guy for a Euro-bum, but I still hope Linares gets the job done and busts his face up (and his ARSE!!)

Everyone is ****y and ready to go on twitter... Now lets see them contracts get signed.

And everyone has an opinion or feels strongly one way or another about certain fighters, but can we agree not to use the PFP label on a figher with less than 20 fights please. It is kinda disrespectful to the greats who put in that REAL work to earn that it. I have been seeing it a lot lately with AJ at heavyweight and Loma, its way to early to proclaim these guys PFP greats I feel.

ENJOY THE FIGHTS!

50/50 sounds reasonable to me. Most of us would agree that Loma is the better fighter but Linares is the champ at 135 and Loma is going up in weight to claim that title. I honestly think Loma would accept a 50/50 but you're right, Bob could be the problem.
