The myth that Lomo has no power

[satiev1]

Maybe he does or maybe he doesn't but likely we'll never know as he never swings for the fences. Martinez was in no way a one punch KO. Rocky got hit with 2 punches and this after being hit with 30-40 very painful punches over 4 rounds plus. Hit Martinez with that last left hand first punch of the first round he might not even go down he certainly gets up. It's a process.

Most 1 punch ko always happen after many other shots landing in previous rds. It's still a 1 punch ko. One dosen't need to not land a single shot in any other rd to qualify for a 1 punch ko. rd He koed him with the right hook. The uppercut was a probe set up punch which grazed and the right hook was ko punch. Watch the fight again. It's a 1 punch ko.

He surely showed Salido that power...

True! Lom had him almost out in the last round.

Loma can definitely punch but he usually isn't trying to KO his opponents IMO, especially early on. He uses those feinting punches and light punches to set things up and also to pressure his opponents so they have no time to think. He's very cerebral in there but he also gets off first and is always working. When he starts breaking these guys down, he's hitting them harder because he's figured them out at that point and he can land harder shots while still being accurate. Loma definitely has power or else these guys' wouldn't be quitting. Who ever quit against Malignaggi or Whitaker? Or Willie Pep? Loma's giving them plenty of reasons to quit and it's not just embarrassment.

He did actually. Salido could not have lasted a 15 round fight. The ship Salido was damaged and taking on water when it made port after 12.

Yeah, he did. Salido was reeling there at the end. It's amazing Loma could still throw a punch after the tremendous ball-bashing.

Body shot stoppage with 1 punch in his first fight. 1 punch ko cold over rocky martinez who's never been knocked out cold before moving up a weight class. LMAO. Walters said he was hurt from those punches as well. All his opponents are quitting mid rds due to fear of getting koed because they know the next punch in the next rd will have them out cold similar to rocky martinez. They're not seeing the punches coming and stop before it's too late. 72 percent ko ratio over top opposition. Would you rather quit and make an excuse or be out cold. It's the punch you don't see that has you out.

I like to think of Lom as a combination of a hornets nest and a Cobra. An opponent may not feel a single punch as being huge for a given period of time, but they feel like they are being stung from all angles and it becomes hopeless for them, and then in those situations, Lom can continue that way or if he decides to put some weight behind some single punches, the opponent feel like they are being struck by a Cobra. When he decides to put everything into a punch, the opponent is going to get staggered or dropped.

Can't argue other than what I said. I think we are differing only on what constitutes a "1 punch KO".
Rahman's KO of Lewis, to me, was a one punch KO. Lewis was cruising, nothing wrong with him and then ****.

He is not the biggest puncher out there but definitely above average.

[Madison Boxing]

No point arguing with that lot, may aswell just go along with it that lomachenko is a featherfisted, stiff, flat footed plodder who fights bums and Is swerving Easter cause He 'don't want that work'

[Dosumpthin]

To be fair Loma it was only his 2nd pro fight. Everyone knows he needs more time for his body to grow and develop power.


Besides SALIDOE IS AN ATG and future HOF in his PRIME.
