Comments Thread For: Campbell: If I Hit Loma Clean, I Can Hurt Him and Get Him Out

[lolpz]

I’ve watched Linares Campbell twice and no way did Campbell win.

I mean I think I had Campbell winning 8 rounds if I'm not mistaken. This was live. One judge agreed with me too.

And no I am not from the UK, I am American.

With a baseball bat, Campbell meant.

Did you saw why Walter's quit? He was kinda patient, but he understood that the next round Loma will simply KO him. You can't just wait against Loma and his 4 quitting opponents can confirm that.

Loma can easily go counterpunching and he's great at provoking preplanned offense so that he knows how to counterpunch. You can't just "keep trying" or "keep pressure" - he will just orchestrate your punches and will punish you for each try. The only guy who went through the distance with Loma after Russel Jr was Pedrasa, and it was only because of Loma's injury. The rest didn't survive mid rounds.

Totally agree
I wish they could provide real time translation of what Papachenko saying to Loma.
What I could hear is:
Papachenko takes apart amd predicts all the opponent moves between rounds and gives all these advises to Loma to execute.

Don't agree that he won 8 rounds. Plus there was the knockdown. I think if you watch it again you'll score it differently.

Timing, range, and size can neutralize Lomachenko. Pedraza and Linares had some success doing this, and I believe Campbell is much better then criminally overrated Pedraza. I also had him beating Linares. Luke is much more durable then fragile/stamina impaired Linares.

Speed, power, aggressive explosiveness with skill like Tank would also be hell for Loma at 130.

Loma better not move up any higher in weight or he will be in trouble. Imagine Loma vs Prograis or Taylor...lol. Even Baranchyk.

I don't see how you've arrived at Campbell being more durable than Linares - when Linares was the one who put Campbell down, not vice versa.
Mendy put him down too.

Campbell has never been a big hitter it would mean him showing a side to his game that he hasnt shown against much lesser opposition than Loma.

Down against Mendy but got back up and finished the fight.

Down against Linares and had a bad cut, I think he came back to win after that imo.

I don't want to do the good ol "it's not about how you fall..." thing but...from that angle Campbell is more durable then Linares for sure. Linares also gasses in the later rounds.

Yep I have seen Loma do everything you have described. However Nicholas Walters was tough but didn’t have the reflexes and timing to compete. The fighter that will survive the early onslaught must be slick, atheletic powerful and patient. Manny would be a problem. Tank has the athleticism just don’t know if he has the mentality to weather the storm. Teophimo looked interesting until he had his mental collapse out of no where. But one punch power is a critical component to competing with Loma. Because you only get a few opportunities to get Loma off balance.

Linares knocked Campbell down. To me a big part of being durable means how well you can take a shot.
Campbell doesn't seem to have a rock solid chin to me, having touched down twice in his career already.
Everyone says Campbell hits hard enough to hurt Loma (again I don't agree), yet he didn't put Linares down.
Linares has been stopped in other fight, that I concede. He has shown fragility at times. That doesn't mean that Campbell looks like he's particularly durable though.

Agree. The only thing that Campbell could possibly show Loma that he hasn't seen before is his height and range, but I really don't think that will prove too much of a problem for him.
Loma has beaten people who hit far harder than Campbell already.
