Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Jorge Linares is a Very Dangerous Fight For Me

[chrisJS]

Its easy Loma. Make him move up two weight divitions for you being able to be strong. Worked perfectly with Rigo

Haha your back! You sure didn't sound like you felt Loma would have it easy. Here's a quote from you

"Of course no brother. Cubans love the good boxing with technique like a chess. I want a clean fight with a fair decision. If this happens and fairly Loma wins I'll feel admiration and respect for him. My problem is with Arum with have dirty techniques but I recognize Loma is one of the best. Is a shame that one have to loose but that's what happen when the real fights take place.
Enjoy my friend."

The decision wasn't fair enough for you? Your boy didn't even win 5 seconds of the fight and he quit pathetically.

Another quote from you

"I know Lomachenko is the favorite but not as clear as most of people think. Still Loma has a little height advantage but Rigo has a reach advantage. They are similar in physical conditions.
Also the Loma style to come forward is a honey to Rigo. Rigo has the best defense in the world and his style is as counter puncher. Lets see what will happen when he feel the Rigo's left while looking for him forward. The last time this happens ****ens lost his jaw. Is a huge risk to look for Rigo constantly. Lets see"

He's moving up in weight and fighting the #1 fighter in the division.

If you want more than that, it's a reflection on you rather the reality of the situation.

I'm not asking him more at all. Loma is one of the gutsiest fighters we've got right now and a great fighter. He seems to want to fight EVERYONE. Been a fan for a long time.

I was saying Linares isn't a danger to him. Linares isn't in Loma's league, and the fight will just show that.

JAJA. good post brother and excellent research on my old posts. I don't even remembered I wrote those.
I can't dispute the Rigo's performance was pathetic. I can't even believed it. Loma was better in all senses against Rigo. Rigo was able to fight better and only show the weight difference was the problem, but with this performance was clear that the weight difference was not a factor.
What was my point on my previous post?. At the time Loma make him move 2 divisions he and nobody knew that Rigo was so inferior for the fight. Loma made this for having an edge that later he didn't needed. That's the point. In spanish we have an slogan "lo cortes no quita lo valiente"

Linares is a straight line fighter and he'll be befuddled with Loma's lateral movement like all of the rest. Loma will slice him up. Linares also doesn't move his feet well or at all when his opponent opens up on the offensive.

With fairness to Loma he did offer Rigo $240k more at 126 to which Rigo turned down. The he brought him up two divisions is overplayed because it's Rigo that was stubborn and put himself in that disadvantage.

. In case this is true I can't dispute this argument. HE was stubborn then in fairness.
Don't get me wrong,I like Loma. He is excellent and after the way he won Rigo I believed more

[Ajvar]

Mark my words now:
1. Fight will be tougher than Loma's last fights and will last 12 rounds.
2. Loma wins yet Linares will have up to 5 rounds winning.
3. Haters start laughing about 'exposed' Lomachenko considering the contrast with previous No Mas fights.

Good post.

Add to that the fact that Linares is basically a fossil in boxing age and doesn't have any outstanding wins.

I felt kinda sorry for him in the DeMarco fight. It was quite embarrassing and looked **** in that fight, followed by the Thompson fight, where he was again KOed. I don't expect a competitive fight against Lomachenko.

Who has he really beaten since then?

Crolla was a good fighter on a good run of wins and Campbell is a good fighter. I think those two fighters are far better than anything Davis has defeated for example. I think Gesta is too and Mitchell. They aren't the wins that make a guy great but better than anything Davis has defeated really.

[Ake-Dawg]

Probably not but Arum still get paid and he's not the guy taking the loss.

Believe me, fighting 3 rounds and 12 rounds are 2 different sports.

If high level pro boxing matches were 3 rounders.

Kahn would be probably be undefeated at this point, might have beaten Canelo.

Jermain Taylor would have been an ATG.

Floyd might have lost to Judah.

When you're fighting a 12 rounder, that's where the strategy, the focus, the guile, the stamina, the mental plays a bigger part.

You're not prepared for that even if you fought 1 000 000 times 3 or 4 rounders in ams, even 5 rounders in WSB.

You need to start with a bunch of 10 and 12 rounders against contenders.

What you're saying is true. Can we agree that just because the fight is unsanctioned and not considered "professional" that it can exceed 3-4 rounds? The World Series of boxing is 5-rounds and fought in a professional style. With almost 400 amateur fights, I consider Loma seasoned.
