Loma KO'd a guy with SEVEN losses. Why exactly is that special?

[Combat Talk Radio]

Why are so many people going nuts over that?

This is a guy who got stopped by a guy that went the distance with Kristian Laight. You know, the guy with the most losses in sport?

All of his wins were against pure setups and cans. Every time he was tested, he lost.

The hype is unreal. Let's see a Gary Russell Jr. rematch.

He fought a Euro-level opponent and there were no surprises. It's sad that Loma has probably 2-3 years at his absolute peak, and they're matching him like this.

6 losses at the time.

And I see you neglected to confirm him as a former world champion who went 24 rounds with Linares.

The way he dominated and despatched him was special.

It doesn't matter that the opponent wasn't elite. He was a world level fighter.

Don't act like you didn't know that it was a mandatory challenge

Don't worry about what I know. If you're that concerned, check my post history.

Crolla is a former world champ. Has some good wins on his record too.

Yeah he lost some fights on the way up, so did Marvin Hagler, losses can happen when you're not padding your record when you're coming through the ranks.

Crolla has been one of the better lightweights of the past few years.

Keep hating, keep being petrified of the Eastern Euro takeover. It's not Loma's fault he's too good that it's considered a mismatch against someone who is top 5 in the division, is a mandatory and was a world champ.

Russell is wank. He got schooled once before, he'd get embarrassed again

[Ray*]

He did what he had to do. If he didn't impress then he would have been slaughtered. No one is claiming Crolla is world class, Lomachenko is coming back from injury and has cleared his mandatory....Let's move on.

Yep. And Russell is too small for the division Loma is in now.
LSC vs. GRJ makes way more sense.
