Everyone fades early vs Lomachenko. He puts on so much pressure, he throws so many punches you have to defend, and he hits you so much and so cleanly to the head and body. He wears guys down. That's one of the things that's so entertaining about him. He's not a 1 punch KO guy but somehow despite not having 1 punch power he is still the best in boxing at breaking down opponents. Linares size advantage kept him on his feet until the 10th round, it didnt stop him from being hurt and physically beaten down by the 5th or 6th round. You can say Linares is just weak but at this point, Loma seems to be the constant here, not Linares stamina. Loma has been doing this to everyone he's fought the last few years, and really in one form or another since the beginning of his career. Even Salido who didnt have to make weight and had an 11 pound weight advantage and was fighting a green Lomachenko who didnt turn it on until late because he was unsure about his ability to go 12 rounds was near done by the last few rounds of his fight with Loma. And it's just been uphill from there for Loma.
That's one of his best assets. He gasses everyone, not just Linares. Linares was in fantastic shape for this fight, probably career best shape. Not that that guarantees elite stamina, but he showed better stamina than a lot of guys vs Loma, so it must have been alright.Comment

You're questioning some of your thoughts after one of the best performances of his career? I guess you guys are more impressed by boxers who look perfect against easy opponent than boxers who look extremely good, but not perfect, against top opponents. If you take the one punch that Linares landed away, and a few other flurries and body punches (which will happen vs a longer, taller, fast opponent who is one of the most fluid combination punchers in the sport), this was a masterclass by Loma, and then he knocked out the much bigger man in the championship rounds to boot.
Wherever you had Loma on your P4P list before this fight, he should be moving UP not down lol. Then again, he shouldn't be moving up either because how can you move up from 1? 1 is already the highest, and as much as I like GGG, he got ducked in his prime and now he's 36, so Loma is #1. Loma is at his peak, GGG is not. Loma is clearly the best all around boxer in the sport right now, and he's showing skills that are some of the best I've ever seen let alone just this current crop of boxers. He just fought a bigger, longer, powerful opponent who also just so happens to have elite speed and is known as one of the most fluid punchers and most skilled punchers in the sport, and he won almost every round and then stopped the guy. NO ONE else in the sport is doing that, and no one is putting offense and defense together on the front foot like Loma is either, not in this era, and very rarely in any other era either. Loma is fighting like Mayweather but with the pressure of GGG. It's very rare. You're not supposed to be able to pressure your opponent all night, and stay in middle range as Bradley said, but get hit as little as if you are Floyd Mayweather circling the ring and staying out of range at all possible times. And heck, even Floyd got caught many times in his career DESPITE minimizing all possible risk. Lomachenko fights the riskiest style possible and STILL rarely gets caught. That's why there really is no competition for the #1 spot anymore. There are lots of talented fighters but no one is ahead of the game like Loma is right now.Comment

15 pounds? Where are you getting that number? IF that's true it's absolutely sensational. 15 pounds at lightweight??? That's more than the difference between featherweight and lightweight, that's more than the difference between super bantam and lightweight! That's a FOUR division difference. That can't be true, can it? I need the source for that one.Comment

You sound ridiculous. Bro, the jig is up. You're going to have to choose, which do you care about more, spewing ridiculous hate for Lomachenko, or having people not think you're a total idiot? Because it's now at the point where it's going to be one or the other. Saying the #1 P4P boxer in the world "has nothing" but some "decent" speed... no one is going to take you seriously if you keep saying hilarious **** like that lol. I mean, you left his "decent" footwork! How could you forgot the one other little "decent" attribute Loma has? Lol. Oh, and the other 20 things you left out, haha.Comment
