STERNLY bro, it's a word, look it up!

Keep hating while I'm out in the cold of night giving hot tomato soup to peaceful eastern-European refugees.

Haiti and other “****” countries are not eastern europe, back to school learn geography cheff.

Exactly as I see it too. When you really think about it, it's a much tougher fight than people think.

In short, It can only be determined in the ring.

Strangely enough, I think Loma will have an easier time with bigger fighters. Same as Pacquiao who lost to Morales the first time, but demolished Hatton and De La Hoya. Size only matters if one can use it, and it's very hard to use size against Loma. The only effective tool against Loma could be speed (think Khan - Kotelnik), but statistically chances of matching Loma's speed are going down as he goes up.

Maybe bigger fighters will find it easier to go 12 with Loma - but not Linares... If he doesn't quit, then the ref or the corner stops it.

I just got off the phone with GRJ. He says the Loma vs Linares fight is proof that Loma is trying to put as many weight classes as he can between them to avoid their rematch.

What did you expect him to say? Lomachenko made me look ordinary?

Linares is a bigger, far better version of Gary Rusell Jr.

I am glad the fight is on. Two fast skillful boxers. I pick Loma to win by KO.

I won't believe it until they are in the ring with each other. Until then Lomaputo is a ducking coward POS

Why are you even on this comment section? Fake boxing fans like you is what boxing does not need!

Good point, a weight advantage is only an advantage if you know how to use it and Linares is not a rough, inside, grind you down guy like Salido.

Great point.

Good fight on paper but can see it being very one sided. Linares is overrated and his style is bread.and butter for lomachenko. Wouldn't be shocked if he quit too

Couldn't agree more. I see a quit coming here.

I think Loma wins too but he isn't a KO artist. I know he knocked Martinez out in style but I don't think he knocks Linares out. I think he probably makes Linares quit by round 10 or it goes the distance with Loma UD.

Loma all day.. Should be at least somewhat competitive for a bit
