Comments Thread For: Report: Lomachenko-Linares Fight Finalized for May 12 at MSG

[Bronx2245]

I'll keep calling out Crawford's resume in the meantime.

I know you will! I think he'll be adding another victory and another belt real soon! And I expect Loma to do the same! It gets sticky after that! Crawford has a lot better fights ahead of him @ 147, then Loma does @ 135!

Loma would then be known as the ducker who moved up to 135lbs to fight a bum and duck the real 130 threat in Davis...

Loma kills Davis

Linares is the better fight imo

I mean if they make the Davis fight he would be a respectable choice for an opponent but I don't know if I need to see it either

[BrometheusBob.]

Arum was just pretending to negotiate the Linares fight in order to make Loma-Beltran though. He only does in house fights! Just like Loma-Rigo! And Ramirez-Imam! Loma is ducking Rigo! And Linares! This is obviously fake news!

Loma left 130 to duck Berchelt and Tank Davis!!!

THIS FIGHT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!!

ORLANDO RIGONDEAUX WILL BREAK SALIDO'S JAW EXPOSED GREAT WHITE HYPE!!! I'M JUST SPEAKING FACTS!!!! GANG THANG NOTIFICATION BOMBSQUAD!!! VIRGIL MAYWEATHER GIVES HIS THOUGHTS DISHES THE BIG TRUTH!!!! WHITE EUROBUM EXPOSED ON NUDE EUROBEACH FOR ALL TO SEE!!!

I remember hearing things like break Lom's jaw, mash in the side of his face, etc. I actually saved all those responses with bookmarks and then I replied after the fight calling them out on those responses.......never got a reply back. They probably cried rivers of tears and drowned in them.

Yeah, some members haven't been back, some went into meltdown, some have since been banned and have to create alt's (Mirko for example). That fight and the reaction was one of the funniest in recent memory. I remember one obnoxious Cuban guy pointing the finger citing racism and that Rigo couldn't possibly lose and that Loma was trash. Yeah, he's not been back.

[The Problem Child]

AS much as I want Linares to win, easy fight for Loma.

Crawford isn't getting Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, and Keith Thurman before Spence. If they really want to build up Spence then they give him Garcia, Porter, and Thurman then they may give Crawford Garcia or Porter afterwards.

Lomachenko has options at 135 and 140. 140 is going to be real good in about a year.

Linares is ranked as the best lightweight in the world by the Ring and ESPN:

Plus he's ranked 17th P4P by the Ring. You have to earn that kind of ranking, you can not just get it out of nowhere. So you can not say Linares is not a good fighter.

Having said that I want to ask those guys who says that the fight with Loma would be competitive: are you out of your ****ing mind? You can't understand boxing - go to some other places to post your comments. Linares is fighting the best in history, what he's up against is way too much for him to handle.

I'm glad they're making this fight happen. They can do this over and over if they just work together. The fans deserve for fights like to happen. The Tank fight was not going to happen. Mikey is busy at 140 and Beltran would have been a walk-through. This is the best fight that can be made for Loma at this time and I'm glad it's happening. I predict a late round TKO or 9-3 decision win for Loma.

[Chrismart]

I don`t wanna hear excuses when Loma stops man from higher division.

Oh, it will happen.

good fight

itll be loma on front foot. linares moving

but crolla was able to close distance at times vs linares. linares would have to make loma feel something early or have a high output . hes not gonna knock loma out so gonna have to hustle and get a decision vs a guy who has faster feet in loma .

loma is tactically a better boxer and has good pop.

would have to pick loma. loma is closer to his peak
