i was wrong about linares....

[Madison Boxing]

said he was most overrated fighter on the forum but he put up a hell of an effort last night and his stock goes up in defeat. i had him in front before the stoppage. that was a seriously high level fight.

i still have lomachenko p4p number 1 but hopefully this cools down some of the hype regarding him. he seems to win every mythical match up but lets face it hes nowhere near as proven as mayweather or morales or anyone else hes favoured to beat. He's a hell of a fighter but hes not superman. And if he keeps moving up and up hes going to run into trouble.

saying that its still a top win and ultimately he got the job done. a resume of walters, rigondeaux, linares and russell is just ridiculous after 12 fights

however i stick by what i said prior to tonight, mikey garcia beats him

You had Linares winning 5 rounds?? so you’re one of them I count glove punches guys or you had a really crappy stream and thought he was landing.

... small body frame, short reach...

loma is a better fighter than morales

lol yea, linares didnt win 5 rounds, people counting punches that landed on gloves


but sometimes when a fighter does better than you expected him to, you give him more credit than you should

I agree with drama show. How the hell could anyone think that loma would be able to do anything with prime pac or mayweather at 130 is beyond me. Guys like marquez and morales alone would torture loma into a brutal stoppage. Especially Marquez. Looks of loma = greatest fighter of all time that's all it is. The look. Guys like spence are actual saveges though.

I actually knew this was going to be a tougher fight for Lomachenko, and I wasn’t surprise by the effort Linares put in, kudos to Loma because he still stopped him. He was getting hit at the back of the head by Linares, which I thought the ref should have done more about. Loma in my opinion still would get beat by Garcia and last night proved my initial feelings in that regards.

[just the facts]

loma is a better fighter than morales

Based on what?

[jas]

Based on what?

loma is an extremely dynamic fighter with incredible variety of punch and style

he showed that he had better footwork than rigo

i was half asleep to be fair but i thought he did the better work plus had the knockdown. a lot of close rounds. if others saw it differenty then fair enough
