Loma was an inexperience and his only 2nd fight as a professional fighting a veteran fighter in Salido while Garcia had a total 32 fights as pro fighter,already a very experience and on his peak of his career when he fought Salido....Loma has improved alot in stride since then....that's the difference...Loma now is a different fighter fight after fight as he gain experience.

If they fought Garcia will be favored. He bigger also. Size matters a lot in boxing.

clinchachenko was a 2 time olympic gold medalist with almost 400 amateur fights and like 26 years old.

He shouldve beat someone like salido

why waste his time on easter? we all saw fortuna beat him. hes not very good.






also for the lols fortuna beat easter and sosa beat fortuna and loma beat sosa but that was just a tune up for loma....some fighters just have low standards

Yeah, I appreciate Easter but he has rematch "problems" with arguably Commey, Shafikov and Fortuna. He might as well rematch at least one of them.

You think will ever see a rematch?
Siri is not what he used to be... loma keeps getting better by the fight!
I think the rematch train has been gone for a while now...

Mikey looked flawed, Lomachenko and even Linares have a great shot at beating this guy.

Mikey is all fundamentals, and he has the chin and athletic talent that means it will take someone special to beat him.

Historically he's had a harder time against the faster more technical types of boxers, whereas the 'walk forward' types are made for him.

Lipinets was too limited to get past Mikey's style - he gave it a good go, but Mikey showed once again you need something extra that Lipinets didn't have (nor Broner etc).

If the Linares that fought the first 2 rounds vs Cambell showed up, I don't believe Mikey would be able to handle it. However, Linares went off the boil from round 3 onwards vs Campbell, and Mikey handles that version of Linares easily. So depends on which Linares shows up and whether he can keep things going the full 12 - history suggests he can't and Mikey wins that one I think.

Lomachenko is another story, different level than Mikey. Same fundamentals with the x factor on top. Hopefully we see it.

Nicely put, agree with you there. He is all fundamentals but as Floyd puts it, no special effects. He fight in first and sometime second gear and would not be able to keep up with Lomachenko or maybe not even Linares if they push the pace on him. He also has little head movement and is wide open to the body. This will be exploited soon. Still not an easy fighter to defeat he's not a top P4P talent for me.
