Comments Thread For: Arum: Linares' Weight Advantage Very Challenging for Lomachenko

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Bob Arum can't see Vasiliy Lomachenko losing to Jorge Linares on Saturday night. The Hall-of-Fame promoter is concerned, though, about the weight advantage he expects Linares to have over his fighter when they enter the ring at Madison Square Garden. Arum told BoxingScene.com that Linares could out-weigh Lomachenko by somewhere between eight and 13 pounds once their 12-round bout begins.

If the fight is earlier.. the weigh in should be earlier.. arum trying to prevent as much rehydration for Linares as possible. I don’t want to hear excuses from arum or loma about weight when he just fought a man who came up from 122.. i.e rigo. I don't want the ready made excuses.. win lose or draw.. tank is coming for the winner.

What are you talking about? Loma himself said that the win against Rigo wasn't special because Rigo had to come up in weight.

In other words, he said weight differences were important, and he said it when it meant diminishing the magnitude of his win.

Tank isn't coming for the winner, he is too gutless to take on Loma, because he knows he would get humiliated.

He's crying because Floyd mentioned making the fight against Loma, bleating to the world about how Floyd wants him to lose.

Tank is just another Broner.

.. tank is coming for the winner.

Arum is always stacking the deck. Weigh-in should be earlier. Allows Linares time 2 rehydrate

[Freedef]

What advantage lol

[BoxingIsGreat]

That's the only advantage Linares has in this fight. For a fighter of Loma's caliber, it shouldn't be an issue at all.

War Loma!
