Comments Thread For: Lomachenko is Out Indefinitely With Labrum Surgery

[HI-TECH Boxing]

lomachenko has had issues (breaks) with his left hand as well for years since the 1st olympics. This is documented and has been spoken about in interviews during that time period. He's got a lot of injuries and still fights on regardless....he is a warrior

Yeah, Lomachenko has had hand issues for years.
Loma used to stop a lot of people in the amateurs. Andrew Selby said Loma stopped and dropped everyone in a particular tournament they were in. Then he started having hand issues. Loma does have power.

Loma won the 2009 World Championships and 2012 Olympics with messed up hands.

or just get an IV. im sure that'll help also.

Larry still imagined that floyd didn't used IV'S.

completely different thing. if loma had lost to linares this injury would be front page news and they would bring it up nonstop as the reason they lost and that would be a pretty legit reason as well, but floyd fans still couldn't get over that pac landed most of hte clean punches and floyd could barely land anything solid on pac even with a busted shoulder. it was floyd's super fight(lame i know) and it was a dud so they blame it on the injured guy and not the guy who was scared to engage the injured guy. pure fandom head spinning logic

Manny landed most of the clean punches? You need to watch the fight again and start obsessing with spoon.... people with no eyes watching fights.

I am sorry to hear that. It's easy to forget how much durability most of the top achievers have to have to get to this point and how much they need to maintain it without a potentially career-ending injury stopping them.



I've actually been wondering why he doesn't receive the kind of hate from the people who always hate "show-offs" who taunt and play in the ring that we normally see. I rarely see it mentioned. It's almost like if some guys do it, like Crawford, they're mean-spirited bullies, but if other guys do it, it's like a cute foreigner thing...?

I've seen more people give Loma a hard time for showboating than Crawford.

Sad news. I've known several guys who have suffered shoulder tears and they all said they were never 100% after that. One of them was a training partner who got the tear while we were sparring.

Did they have access to the best medical care? Loma is going to be operated by the very best with the latest medical technologies (arthroscopic surgery). I think he's going to be fine.

What about a Ariza shake?

Larry is also still imagining how Torrecampo, Singsurat and Marquez 4 put PAc to sleep for 10 counts.

Yes, I know at least two had it immediately operated on. One was a guy I worked with in a hospital, who has the best care possible, and was a rock climber. 5 years later, he still couldn't do what he once did. The other was an accountant who was out of the gym for 5 months or so after surgery, and never had full strength, even a year later. It wasn't even so much the strength as the flexibility. It's something that always concerned me because of how many people I've known who have been set back by shoulder injuries. It's made me very cautious.

I know fans want to think that things can be mended and 100% again but it's never 100%. A significant injury will always nag you and hold you back to an extent, which is really unfortunate as Loma is on a tear and in his prime. I think he's going to have a great career but I am bummed that he's going to now has gone through an injury in his prime that might hold him back from full potential.

Loma should retire now and let the best fighter beat each other up. Then when they all have lost some step he can finally come back from hiding and beat all of them through slick running and hugging.

When he beat all of them, he can call him self TGFE - The Greatest Fighter Ever

Loma is not a coward like floyd who will hide and come back when everybody beat each other up.
