Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I'll Fight Gervonta Davis - But Only at Lightweight

[Ajvar]

this statement signals a clear duck!

floyd threw gervonta in the deep end with pedraza - a fight davis later said he did not wanna take but was forced to take by floyd, meanwhile loma chasing multiple weight class champion linares who was shot to bits and has zero power! and walters was inactive! and rigo was too small!

pedraza beats rigo

Sooner fanboys will celebrate 10Y Anniversary date of beating Pedraza than Davis fights Loma or Mikey or Pac or... LINARES!

Did you see his last fight? Linares is worn out, damaged goods. Way lesser talented guys KOed him. Loma's performance was disappointing and tasted the canvas good too. Davis would have finished him in that round, no coming back.

It was a knock down, he got straight back up from it, wasnt hurt or showed any signs of being hurt, I personally thought loma performance wasnt the best and had expected a one sided beat down prior to the fight... But considering he had genuinly picked up a shoulder injury in the fight says alot, so really he was fighting with one fully functioning arm. Now was it as early as round 2? We will never know but he still got the job done and stopped linares. Tanks solid, no doubt but he needs more fights and get the world level experience under him, i think Tank has alot of potential to improve yet if he can stay dedicated and focused.

Mikey Garcia at 25 years old put a one-sided beating on Salido, knocking him down multiple times and winning basically every round. The only time he was ever hurt was when Salido heatbutted him and broke his nose.

You should rewatch the fight if you think Garcia was getting beat up in the last 3 rounds. Salido had decent success in Round 6 and 7, but he was still struggling to land clean whilst Garcia was picking his punches and clearly landing the better shots.

In the last round (Round 8) Garcia went back to dominating Salido. He constantly landed on Salido's chin whilst Salido struggled to land anything. The only good shot Salido landed in that round was the headbutt. According to Compubox Garcia outlanded Salido 25 punches to 7 punches in Round 8. That is the opposite of 'getting beat up'. Garcia actually outlanded Salido in EVERY SINGLE ROUND OF THE FIGHT according to Compubox, and landed exactly DOUBLE the amount of punches that Salido landed in the entire fight.

Why should a fighter be forced carry on fighting and risk permanently damaging his nose when the damage was caused by an ILLEGAL HEADBUTT? The doctor did the right thing stopping the fight. Mikey already proved he was much better than Salido anyway.

Meanwhile, Lomachenko at 26 years got dogged out and bullied around the ring by Salido for the majority of the fight. In Lomachenko's defence Salido was 10 pounds heavier (not 20) and was fighting dirty, but Salido was also fighting dirty versus Mikey, getting away with multiple low blows in that fight as well, but Mikey dealt with them and put a beating on Salido which Lomachenko was unable to do.

Loma just beat a much bigger guy with severely injured shoulder. Garcia was getting beat up last few rounds and found a way out. according to you if he went back to killing salido why did he allow the doctor to stop it he would go for the KO. I say they begged the doctor to stop it

This is a good fight no matter what anybody says.

Mikey and Tank stops loma. The guy got knocked down while winning and actually was losing the second half of the Linares fight. Hate and say what you all want but Tank Davis will knock him out. 🥊

Thank for making me laugh.

In reality, Loma KO’s Tacky Tank and Mikey would murder him.

Literally this is the first time I've ever heard anyone call Linares slow.

If you consider speed department then I don't think anyone except Russell jr or Khan is faster
