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

[StargazerV]

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.

Manny can, he definitely has everything to do it, except for power.

Tank doesn't - his KO ratio has nothing to do with skills, because he didn't show it against any good opposition. The same with anything else he looks like having - it's easy to look great against bums. And the same for Teo. Both of them are not so different from Walters if we just clear our minds from all the hype they have and leave only what they actually proved.

The fighter that will survive the early onslaught

I don't agree that Loma is an 'early onslaught' kind of guy.

If anything, I'd say he is a slow starter. The first round is usually pretty boring, just feeling them out. Loma works out his opponent, and adjusts.

Then he breaks fighters down from there, increasing the impact as the fight progresses. He still seems to have incredible stamina, even though he is carrying a bit more muscle than he needs.

He does unleash onslaughts, but it is usually after he has chipped away at his opponent for several rounds.

I am not saying everyone Tank fought is a world beater but the eye ball test doesn’t lie he is doing it in sensational fashion and in extraordinary ways. Same thing with Teo till his last fight. Don’t know if I would put money on them to win but we need to see it. I mean come one bro are the people Loma has been fighting at 135 better than Manny, Tank and Teo? Why is the completely non competive fights are okay but those that provide some intrigue should be discarded as mismatches? Doesn’t make sense?

So why are those mid tier fights not getting shot down? I just want to see it. They are better comp so we should all want to see those fights... not sure if they would win but those are great scalps either way.

Lomasexual bro? What does that mean. I think Loma takes a while to find timing but he is trying to frustrate you as quickly as possible. What I am saying is Loma has a lot of movement, eventually he shows fatigue but many guys quit before they get there. It looks as if they are more embarrassed than beat up. I am saying the guy who stays in like Linares will have some success. With a guy athleticism and heavy hands that could be the fight.

By the way Manny would have the power also. He is hurting the big guys at 147? You think Loma wouldn’t take a seat? Linares knocked him down?

Linares is way better than Tank and Teo. Smarter, has more experience, proven to be able to adjust in the ring. Maybe he got shot after Loma, but I'm not talking about the today's version of him.

I'd like to repeat: everyone looks like a magician and a superman when in a ring with bums. Every well known fighter had a line of impressive KOs in the start of his career. Who cares how good was Teo looking against unknown fighters when in the last fight he looked average against just a top 8 guy? Loma is kinda way higher than top 8 - it just won't be competitive. And I don't buy excuses about sorting out his family stuff. Simply because excuses were said after the fight. If Tank is that good, why didn't he step up in opposition? Maybe Floyd is afraid to do that for a reason?

P.S. Manny is still the man. IMHO this is a 50/50 fight in 140. Manny would win at 147 and Loma would win at 135.

Campbell looks all kinds of bigger in that photo. I sincerely hope Lomachenko does not move up in weight anymore. I know it has been repeated to death, but this is his max division and he gives up a few advantages naturally. One of them is natural strength. I take everyone's word for Campbell not being a hard hitter. But I do think most people in this division could hurt Lomachenko. The key IS hitting him flush, which is harder to do on Loma than most fighters for sure, but as we have seen is not impossible. So, from a pure boxing point of view I agree with Campbell. He could hurt Lomachenko. I still feel Campbell is likely to not do it, but it is a concern. It is just pure common sense- bigger guys in boxing shape will hit slightly harder than smaller guys in boxing shape.

Linares is not better than Tank or Teo. Sorry bro, he is fast a light puncher who keeps busy. Amir Khan with less spread and more focus.

The only decent victory of Davis was against dehydrated Pedraza who fought not at his natural weight division on the short notice. Pedraza was not fighting at his weight, was not prepared well and was playing the game of Davis making a brawl in close distance instead of running all night like he did against Vasyl.
Davis is a medium class fighter, the hype of which will end once he encounters a decent opposition. Davis would be put to sleep by the version of Linares that fought with Vasil within 5 rounds. Campbell would destroy Davis 99% even Gary Russel Junior would whoop Davis's asz easy. Davis is the money project of Mayweather and no way he would allow this clown to fight any decent opponent because the hype would end forever and no money will come

Loma will get the victory here.
