Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I Want To Show That Linares' Size Won't Matter

[Eddy Current]

I'm hoping to see him humiliate "Tank" after the Linares fight.

Wish he would unify with Berchelt but I know a lot of fighters aren’t willing to fight for the wbc belt now. He hasn’t unified a belt yet hopefully he enrolls in vada and fight Berchelt

Berchelt shouldn't have gotten injured and been so committed to his tune-ups and mandatorys. All he had to do was to say "I accept the challenge".

He couldn't and didn't. You also know this after I schooled you in the other thread about it.

I hope Lomachenko gets the credit he deserves after this fight. He's beaten top opponents with Gary Russel, Rigondeaux, and Walters. Even though Walters was coming form a year layoff but he made him look amateurish. He did get beat by Salido but fighting Salido in your second pro fight is not easy. But there will always be haters, they probably will say he should move up to 160 or something ridiculous. What intrigues about Lomachenko is he makes boxers like Rogondeaux and Russel look extremely vulnerable.

Yeah, he really made Walters, Russell and Rigondeaux look trash and helpless in the ring. Mentally Walters and Rigo were broken. I think that's been underestimated.

I think Linares' style may blend better and provide a bit more of a competitive bout. I was picking Loma by 8-4 or 9-3 type decision but as time gets closer I'm leaning more towards 10-2 or 11-1 type of fight but more competitive rounds.

The hate and salt will be real after this fight and he will need to be fighting Welterweights next to please them. That wouldn't please them either.

One more thing many people don't realiza about Loma - his stamina. This is one of his features which makes good fighters gas out in the middle of the fight and quit. Remember the fight with Salido - he started to speed up too late (and said this himself as I remember). I guess this will be one of key factors, but not weight.

Yeah, he's constantly moving but intelligently and it obviously fatigues the other guy both physically and mentally. That constant movement and creativity has been making dudes just stop recently and that's coincided with him getting more professional seasoning.

He's likely to dominate Linares down the stretch especially since that's typically when he becomes a bit lazier on defense and more predictable with his offense.

And one more proof that Loma is that good: he broke his opponents mentally for good! How many of his "victims" did recover and came back as strong as they seemed to be before? Some of them never came back in the ring...

I don't think he will. Wrong skin colour.

100% it will never happen.

Why would you want Tank to be humiliated?
