Could Linares KO Loma?

[boliodogs]

Yes he probably could if he lands his best punches on the button. That is highly unlikely because Loma is so highly skilled on offense and defense. Loma is a 5 to 1 betting favorite because he is so good. Linares is very good too but not as good as Loma.

Maybe, but not like those gifs. Those guys are stationary and linear.

Loma uses lateral movement and changes his height in addition to varied punching angles and an underrated 1, 2, smother technique

Loma is straight up all over the place and I think guys get seriously confused and disoriented being in the ring with him. Anyone can get a KO, sure, but is it likely?

Loma is so fun to watch. He attacks with such variety and although his defense isn't impeccable he packs a chin, elite stamina, and elite mental stamina/toughness, as well as elite strategizing.

He finds a way to disorient opponents and goes back and forth between stalking/assaulting guys (with emphasis on bodywork) and smothering/moving out of range before counters. It's brilliant.

Yes, it is indeed a thing of beauty

Linares will get frustrated.
