Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Gets Off The Floor To Knock Linares Out in Tenth

[Bronx2245]

I know bronx ....it was a highly technical fight with between two very elite fighters where one guy was also giving up 15lbs in weight.
That alone shows how supreme loma is and actually stopping him with a body shot is even more impressive.
I had loma slightly ahead but not by much but he just has that extra gear that great fighters rely on to up the pace and pull through.
which boxer who is competing today can match lomachenko in terms of boxing skill....in all my years of following boxing i have never seen a fighter with such great movement and footwork.

His Ring IQ, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 15! He's just small for 135! Linares did an excellent job too, but that mental pressure just burst his pipes! Mikey vs. Loma is the best fight available, far surpassing Wilder vs. Joshua! In fact, second place is Spence Jr. vs. Crawford!

this Loma nutriding is reminiscent of Amir Khan's nut riding... remember Amir Kha ? Super quick dude seemed to be matrixing cats, whatever happened to him?

Loma vs Garcia would be a great fight... I'm giving Garcia the edge

If his ring IQ is so high, why does he constantly put himself in bad positions and make fundamental errors like he did tonight?

The biggest cause for concern I saw tonight is how easily he can be hit. Everybody, even history’s greatest defensive fighters can be hit with single shots. And as offensive minded as Lomachencko is, he’s gonna get hit some. That’s just part of letting your hands go. The biggest thing I saw was him getting his with combinations. And he was also getting hit when they were on the outside. Everything wasn’t a product of him being countered. Some of it was just him having his defense penetrated.

Mikey way too slow for loma and loma beat up a bigger guy whose fast as fook and strong. Nobody beating loma.

This...... mikey is slower than linares....and is not as good a combo puncher

[Lando610]

Lets not kid around. Loma was taken to the body in this fight and was visibly slowed from that. If mikey connects to the body its over. If not....

The P4P King LOMA!!! NO EXCUSES!
Awesome Liver shot, Oscar had judges racked up

Mikey is not a good combo puncher? Have you lost your ever loving effing mind? He has one of the best 1-2's in the business.

Why do people even bring up Mikey Garcia? This guy has fooled all of you, he is talking Cotto, Thurman, Spence, Crawford, Linares, Loma and ends up fighting Zlaticanin, Lipinets and Easter.

He will never face a guy where he is not the huge favorite and A side. He got that social media trash talk down, talking about all the great fighters and ending up fighting the weakest links per division. Mikey is a businessman, fighting the weakest opponent for decent money. He wants to be the A side in every fight, thats why he fights who he fights, he is not in there for Legacy or fights the fans want.

Mikey Garcia will NOT fight Lomachenko, bank on it.

The same fight that 2 of the judges saw each of which didn't have loma winning the fight before the stoppage. Was being out landed and was dropped. Loma rallied and got the stoppage. But he was losing before that despite what the bias ESPN coverage told you.

Yep judges in a GBP fight, big shocker there. It was a close fight going into the KO but only because of the KD. There is only one clear round Linares won prior to that. So to say he was up by 2 before a KD either means you need to learn to judge fights properly or you didn't see what was being done to Linares.
