    Am I the only one who was NOT impressed by Lomachenko's performance?

    He had an inexperienced, nervous fighter in front of him all night long and looked very amateurish enroute to a decision. I do not see what the hype is all about. 👎

    He won almost every round and dropped him twice. Watch his fights against rigo, russell, walters and linares if you want to see how he does against world class fighters.

        I think a lot of people were unimpressed and the fight left more questions than answers. Loma threw literally 0 right hooks and somehow forgot how to move and relied a whole ton on linear movements.

        For anyone else what he did to pedraza would be a great performance but for him its subpar.

        He won 10 out of 12 rounds and had 2 KDs.

          You probably dont understand what you are watching.

          Im no fan of Lomachenko but he came back from an 8 months of layoff after shoulder operation. He jumped right in without taking a tuneup.

          Loma all but dominated Pedraza..

            A lot of people were unimpressed. Hell, some of the live crowd was booing last night.

            But you better not express that opinion around here. Some people don't take too kindly to any criticism of their God, even if it's justified.

                Nope you aren't the only one. I guess people were expecting a clean domination. Pedraza actually gave him some good work.

                  It's probably perception more than anything.

                  He didn't look "good" but that's because his last 6 opponents were KOed or quit. Loma won most of the rounds and Pedraza was all volume but no substance.

                    I blame the surgery

                    that's was he was more cautious and throwing a lot less than usual

                    shaking off the ring rust too

                    and he still dominated his opponent clearly
