Lomachenko fight night weight is 138 lbs

[Robbie Barrett]

Any proof he weighs 138 at 135? He weighed around that at 130. I doubt he's the same size now.

As for Linares weighing 150. Complete bull****.

Don't go throwing around weights without a reliable source.

You see the weight jumping usually when guys turn pro younger. When guys turn pro at what I would say 18-20, they will grow and then fill out till about 22-24 years of age. Guys like Manny, Floyd etc grew through divisions. Manny turned pro at like 16? That is why he grew through so many divisions until being probably a natural Lightweight (the rest was bulk) Floyd probably grew to a natural 140-47 guy, the rest bulk.



Many of those European guys turn pro when already fully filled out. They simply cannot grow naturally, so any weight added is bulked up weight.

This where is the source? loma was also 138 for the MORNING check weight vs rigo giving him all day long to rehydrate further.

There was a huge size difference in the ring with Linares, his back was almost twice as wide as Lomas, there’s no denying he’s at a disadvantage, he could comfortably make 130 and still drain to 126, I very much doubt Linares or Mikey could

[Boksfan]

Yes have a slight point! Just keep in mind that being able to beat guys bigger than you is what makes you a P4P great! This is why Golovkin will never truly be P4P! Only guys like Loma,Mikey and Terrance when he fights the 54s will make the list of guys like Floyd PAC and JMMarquez! IMO

When you imbeciles gonna understand that p4p is about skills not weight?

Ali won the gold medal at light heavy. He moved up for pro. A lot of heavies he beat were heavies in the olympics/amateurs. Fraizer and Foreman were gold medalists at heavy. Liston was a natural heavy.

Fair point, but I don't think amateur career weight matters too much. If it did, fighters like Andre Ward would not receive much credit for moving up and beating Kovalev, but not many people care that he was a light-heavy in the Olympics many years ago when discussing his impressive (late) pro career rise in weight.

Regardless, I do not think moving up is a prerequisite for being ranked P4P.

Yet, all his haters made a big to-do about Loma having a 7 lb. weight advantage over Rigo on fight night. Crickets on Linares' 14 lb. advantage. Crickets when it comes to Mikey walking around between 165-180 and Crawford walking around at 180+.

There is no way in hell that Loma weighed as much as Linares on fight night.

Zactly. The size advantage he had on Rigo is basically the size disadvantage he's going to be having at Lightweight but he won't get credit until he cleans out Welterweight (he probably wouldn't then either let's face it).

I've met him before and seen him fight up close and he's just an average sized Featherweight really. Not sure why people are trying to make out like he's this incredible hulk to push some agenda. He's smaller than most 126-130 guys I've seen up close like Marquez, Morales for example.

Why do the guys that like Loma for reasons other than boxing get upset that people pointed out the fact he was bigger than Rigo?

The problem is the posters that like Loma for reasons other than boxing give him the same amount of credit in every fight, never pointing out the advantages Loma might have.

When it comes to the Salido fight and the Linares fight prior to the KO, these same fans go on and on about the weight advantage these guys had on Loma. It comes off as excuse making when none is needed.
