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

[BillyBoxing]

I think the response to your question from Loma haters is that Linares cuts easy.

He also does bruise easy I guess.

He back acne easy too........DOE

Lomachenko is nothing short of amazing... AMAZING

Knock down is good for Loma. Keeps the fuel burning hot.
Let's not forget he beat a champ with a 3 1/2 reach advantage.

Great point, and Linares rehydrated to well over 150.

Nice fight. Loma didnt look invincible. No excuses, Loma vs the Mikey vs Easter winner. May the best man win. Loma has a few things to tighten up on, so he can avoid Mikey's power.

I got Mikey by KO 10th if it happens. Still two of my top five, so dont debate me

I'm tempted to think that Garcia is slower than Linares.

[SpeedForce]

Mikey isn’t slow. He just doesn’t have all the extra, and somewhat unnecessary movement that Lomachencko uses. Lomachencko is the outfielder that picks up the ball in the air a half second late. But then takes off sprinting and makes a spectacular diving catch. Where Mikey is the guy that picks up the ball almost immediately on contact with the bat, sprints early, and makes it look like a routine fly out. A lot of old timers say Hank Aaron was just as good an outfielder as Willie Mays. Only difference was he kept his hat on.

Either way, Mikey has great timing and real power, especially fighting a guy that’s probably a natural jr lightweight. Lomachencko is not as difficult to hit as some people think. And he makes fundamental errors that would get him in trouble against Mikey.

OMG FINALLY, Someone who knows boxing. People always think just cause you're fast, you can land punches. They're two different things.

I can't get over it. It's crazy how much bigger Linares looked.

[Ca$trO]

Damn, I was kinda shocked that Linares quit like that. Was a decent shot to the body, but definitely overplayed by the commentators. I've seen worse and fighters fight.

Idk if Loma is ready for pac man and i definitely think mikey will ko loma at 135. at least now we can ease of crazy loma fans saying the guy is invincible. he is a good fighter but it was a close fight, i had it even. he can definitely be beaten.

on a real side note, these espn commentators are ****ing awful especially the guy hosting the show

Agreed didn’t think commentary could get more one sided than HBO’s I was obviously wrong

[NoMasChenko]

Loma is amazing , but he does make mistakes with his footwork. Tim Bradley pointed it out before he was knocked down.

IMO the only thing that will stop Loma from being a household name is his weight. Most superstars in boxing have been 147+

word is that Linares weighed in at 150+ pounds tonight too

Great post and well said. Casuals don't have the eye or knowledge to understand movement economics.

That said, I totally missed this fight....does someone have gifs, a link, anything? LMAO.

[Satir]

if Loma beats Garcia at 135 then he should fight Regis Prograis at 140, if he beats Prograis then he should fight Keith Thurman at 147, if he beats Thurman then he should fight Hurd at 154...
