Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Knockdown: I Was Too Relaxed, He Caught Me

[nacho daddy]

I think that’s the best fight that can be made in boxing today. Obviously Joshua vs wilder will be bigger but in terms of quality this is the one I really want to see.

I think Mikeys expert timing will see him stop Lomachenko in the middle rounds but we will see. God damn I’m excited just thinking about it.

Loma is to small even for LW. Loma looked like a little kid in the ring last night. in the interview at the end of the fight you could really see the size difference. all you haters want to see him fight an even bigger guy like the cherry picker and fraud mikey Garcia. why don't mikey fight one of the charcoal bros?

He's a very confident fighter, he dominates and hardly drops rounds, so I could definitely see it being a case of him being a little over confident at times and a little too relaxed.

Linares is a quality fighter and always capable of shots like that, he will take that opening if it's there. Loma reacted well though, and was excellent through-out the fight I thought.

The KD may well be a blessing in disguise for him. A reminder to remain as focused as he can. Especially if he's to be campaigning against bigger guys.

I see it exactly the same way. Until the kd, I don't think he was showing Linares any respect to the point of arrogance. With the team that he has, I cannot see that happening again.

Lol what In the hell is wrong with some of you people. So unless a fighter goes his entire career without being knocked down he’s a fraud?

Of course not.


Without being HIT!

Both times Loma has been in trouble, it was body work.

So basically, if Tank's heart holds up, he's at least a threat.

Are you calling low blows body shots lol? Might have been the worst officiated fight I've ever seen.

Loma is just a class apart from any of this era floyd ward pac hes the one you could see jorge was thinking of quiting on his stool he was a beat man with a big heart the flash knock down gave him that extra push without it he was quiting loma i hope grows to a welter somehow to face thurman crawford spence see him wipe the floor with those too

This is an over-the-top comment. Not sure if you're just trolling. This fight actually let me know why Loma ducked the Pacquiao fight. Pacquiao would have probably KO'd him with a straight left even at this point.

Loma should actually consider going back down to 130 and only fighting at 135 for big fights. I'd actually have Mikey as the slight favorite over Loma right now although I do think that Linares' reach caused Loma most of his problems. Mikey is actually moving back to 135 for his next fight if I'm not mistaking, and that would be a really tough fight for Loma.

This was Lomachenko's "Jacobs Moment" he has been exposed!

You could have said it was Loma's "WARD Moment."

I thought it would be a tough fight and it was. Very entertaining. I hope tank is next.

Linares caught Loma with the perfect shot at the perfect moment. And even though he wasn't really hurt, Loma fought smart and cautious for the next few rounds.

Loma needed a shot like that to give him a wake up call. He can't get too relaxed and overconfident and I'm sure his last few fights gave him that feeling of invincibility. He's lucky Linares isn't too big of a puncher or that knockdown could have the changed the result of the fight.

After last night, I think the Pacquiao fight @ 140 never happens! I think Loma goes after Tank Davis @ 130! Bob is already saying that it's "too hard to negotiate with Mikey Garcia...he's loyal to Showtime...Blah, blah, blah!"

That's a shame because Garcia vs. Lomachenko is much better than Wilder vs. Joshua, and GGG vs. Canelo II.

There was nothing perfect about that shot! He was out there prancing around like a fairy and walked right into it
bad defense and ring IQ!
