I'm amazed that some of you dislike Loma so much that you trash this fight.

Well, maybe I have poor taste then. What do I know? I thought Louis Vuitton just made ladies' handbags.

Linares can punch if he feels his opponent cant really hurt him, this fight could be great

Siri's experience and colmillo got him that win! Loma had the option of calling off the fight! not sure who allowed to continue. they probably though siri was you average journey man! pero le salio mayordomo!

I Cant WAIT!!!! loma is the better fighter all around however Linares wants it bad! we all seen it sometimes is not who is better but who wants it the most! great fight as long as it last...

Salido was never 11 pound heavier than loma, quit spreading that lie, on fight night Loma was 137 and Salido 142, so stop it.

Damn the size advantage is way bigger than even I expected. I'm officially worried for Loma. Obviously Loma is better in a P4P sense but fighting fast powerful guys who are also way bigger than you is probably the hardest thing to do in boxing. If Loma is not big enough to get Linares respect, it could be Salido all over again when Salido was 11 pounds bigger in the ring, just with an even bigger, way faster opponent. Loma is going to have to box a masterpiece. I know haters will say "but Floyd fought bigger guys" except that's actually not true in this sense, Floyd never fought someone this much bigger than him who was also as fast as him, and was not put at numerous other disadvantages to take the sting out of him like a catchweight or selective drug testing etc etc. Floyd wouldn't even fight the fast guys in his division like Khan, let alone, say, Paul Williams at 154, or Sergio Martinez at 160, to give the closest comparisons I can think of from the crop that existed at 154 and 160 at the time. This is going to be difficult for Loma.
