How do you rate Lomachenko’s defense?

[boliodogs]

As far as defensive skills goes how would you rate Loma's?
I would rate it an A / A-. He's definitely one of the best fighters to mix offense and defense simultaneously.

I think his defense is solid A. Who has a better defense than he does?

[Robbie Barrett]

Wasn't he statistically around the same as Floyd in terms of plus/minus? Pretty impressive for a guy who fights more aggressively.

Not even close. In 2012 Mayweather had a plus/minus of +30, Lomachenko is +17.3. Mayweather fought better comp too. Don't insult Mayweather. Compubox is bull**** though.

Gee did someone manage to stay awake long enough to get fluids rating, what an achievement

I would say it's an A-

The reason for the minus is because he can occasionally get caught, but just because he's so offensive minded. That's a good thing in my opinion.

[Redd Foxx]

8 of 10. Guys like Martinez and Salido hit him a lot more then they should have. But, his movement still gives him excellent defense. Not at a Mayweather or Ward level though.

He has excellent defense. Probably the best in the game currently which is impressive for such an aggressive and offensively active fighter.

[The Big Dunn]

I think he is very good defensively. He just has very short arms and has to constantly get in harms way to score on longer armed opponents.

When he fought a short arm dude like Russell and could jab from outside more, his defense looked incredibly good.

Is that with the -5 Floyd had in the first Castillo fight? lol

[4truth]

Very good though he can be hit. The thing is, often when he is hit, it's a mis-hit. He's like one of those successful pitchers who rarely strikes out people, he limits hitters to pop ups and weak ground balls.

[Derranged]

Good but he's no defensive guru like Floyd or Rigo. He's more offensive minded so he's there to be hit.
