    Loma is a complete boxer and technician. Good speed, good timing and reflexes, great boxing IQ, High skill set and enough power.....BUT there are other active boxers who i consider better than Loma..tbh Yea Mikey got his ass handed to him in the Spence bout, but I honestly think he still can beat Loma. Berchelt gives Loma problems (Loma hates boxers than are mobile) he likes plodding boxers as his opponent so that he can use his movement and angles.
    I’ve seen enough of Gervonta Davis to know Loma ain’t making him quit like the rest.

      He'd be more competitive with Mikey than with Davis. Mikey is the perfect style for Lomachenko but he's too smart, too strong, with good skills. Loma has a good chance, but I favor Mikey. Fight will not happen.

      Loma never tasted punches like he would against Davis. His opponents say every punch is debilitating. I have Loma losing this one by KO. This fight will happen.

              You won't impress me any if you come to the pros almost at the champion level, instead of a kid who builds their pro records from not much.

              Loma debuted at 25 and ready to be a champion from his amateur and Olympic experience. He had a lot of advantages but, in reality, couldn't beat an overweight journeyman with 12 losses in Salido. We need some reality in this life.

              His pro resume is still poor, IMO.
              Yeah like Salido completely dominated Lomachenko eh? I'm sure his record would look great if he padded it like every other boxing with 30+ fights right?

              Like Mikey Garcia who you think would KO lomachenko right? Yeah, Lomachenko has participated in more world championship fights than him but Mikey is better right?

              You know what's impressive? Coming to the pro ranks and being championship level without any pro experience. How is that not impressive?

              Oh yeah. That's right. Hes white.

                    Which is why Lomachecko is asking for the fight at 135lbs right now. Mikey still will be too much for him. A big good boxer beats a smaller good boxer any day of the week, and if he tries Tank, then he may or may not get his Jaw broken.

                      If you don't think that's impressive in only 14 fights then you need your head testing.
                      There are a few good wins on Lomafako's resume but there is nothing great about anyone he's beaten or his collective body of work. Beyond that, his resume is NOT that of a guy who should be considered P4P #1. Not even close...

                      Wake me when he beats someone of note NOT coming up TWO weightclasses.
