Comments Thread For: Linares: Lomachenko is an Elite Amateur - But He's Still Learning

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jorge Linares recognizes that Vasyl Lomachenko as a great amateur fighter, but as a professional he believes the two-time Olympic champion is continuing to learn. And precisely because of that, his fight this Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York will become very intense as the rounds advance.

Loma by mid to late round ko or tko

Considering that Loma has already fought much tougher competition than Linares in 11 fights, I think it's safe to say he knows enough to beat him lol

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Loma's been the rounds many times, including going twelve three times already. I think he'll be fine.

[D4thincarnation]

Linares is right.

But that is the frightening thing, Loma is still learning. He still not in his prime and is improving in every fight.

[Tricky-Pablo]

Linares have nothing to lose, if Loma beats him, he'll say the best fighter in the world beats me!!

GRJ actually outboxed Loma. GRJ gave Loma his most competitive fight, in my opinion. And GRJ lost, as he should. Why? Because Loma is not a boxer.

Loma and his team have developed a new sport that I call 'Electrohitsu', which uses rapid lateral movement; rapid-fire, side-arm slappy body combinations (swings and lands punches to the body with the inside of the glove vs the extrados of the glove) at close range to the competitor and requires an ultra high production output of punches at angles, which frustrates and demoralizes the standard boxer. It's a 'pesky-pressure' type of style, which greatly capitalizes on the out-of-position* mistakes that boxer-fighters make. Remember the shot Loma landed on GRJ in round 10 when GRJ was in a "blind spot" and was out of position? The Electrohit style seeks these footwork errors and it was this error that Loma capitalised on to knock out Roman Martinez.

Loma beats down boxers in a similar way Moe used to slap Larry and Curly around. It's a brutal rapid-fire slow-dance, whereby the Electrohit-fighter beats you down with ferocious, constant, angled body shots, creating off-balance knockout opportunities. Watch the Walters highlights as a perfect presentation of the Electrohit style...

I'm not sure if any current boxers are brilliant enough to put together an effort to neutralize the ElectroHit style and land enough punches on Loma, to objectively "Salido" him.

Having said all of this, how would you fight Loma? I think a young Mayweather would have figured out the style by the 4th or 5th round but may have run out of time by then? Maybe not. That version of Mayweather was a brilliant beast. A true toss up in my mind.

Barring landing a knockout blow, I don't see any current boxers, overcoming the Loma 'Electrohit' style. If Linares connects, flush, he could give Loma a loss, but I doubt that it will happen.

BTW, watch some footage of Orlando Canizales for a preview of the Electrohit style....I believe Loma's team built their style off of Canizales.

Blowin smoke. Vas took apart Rigo who took apart Nonito. linares has a size and power advantage, the two things Loma is good at neutralising. Great footwork and timing are the keys to beat Loma.
