[Boxing Goat]

lighting!!!

GERVONTA DAVIS DROPS HIS WBA BELT AND MOVES UP IN WEIGHT TO LOMA'S DIVISION!!!!!!!!

According to Mike Coppinger, at least.
Also Michael Bensen from TalkSport sais Gervonta plans to get WBA Regular in 135 lbs in a clash vs Gamboa.

That's about right.....like Crawford, Gamboa will then be his best win. lmmfao!

Macho Camacho would of beaten Lomachenko...

Imagine that.....a PR thinking that lol

Camacho would have been so outclassed that he would have had to retire early.

Barry thinks Campbell won by a landslide. That's really all that anyone needs to know about this interview.

Loma is in same situation Floyd found himself in. You outclass so many fighters that people expect you to make it look effortless every time, against everyone.

I kept reading that part. Maybe he thought Loma win 4 CLEAR rounds? And the rest were toss up maybe??

I just don't see how anyone thought Campbell won that fight.

[Boxing Goat]

I would agree with Hearn but Loma is fighting above his natural weight and style make fights. Also Loma has hardly had any pro fights.

I agree it is 100% too early to say Loma is a legend. That needs to be proved in his next 10 fights.

I thought Loma looked open many times against Linares and Campbell, so he feel he will be KO'd at some point but so what? All great fighters lose if they take the big fights.

Loma has already made boxing history and is already a legend. First ballot hall of famer in like 5 years. Pretty impressive.

Don't agree with Hearn, up
3 weight classes , much bigger man before and on the night and Campbell was also
An Olympic champion .

WTF is this fool talking about? Campbell won 3 rounds maximum. That fight wasn't even close an the rounds you could maybe give to Campbell was only due to Loma's inactivity, and even then he landed more punches than Campbell in 10 out of 12 rounds. FOH.

People assume just because Loma isn't as dominate in a round that means he lost the round, fight's aren't scored like that. There was nothing wrong with the scorecards.

I understand what he’s saying, but Lomas rise is legendary. He has jumped all these weights and all these fights in how many fights total?

Loma aint at 20 fights yet, that’s as impressive/ legendary as can be.

135 is also his limit.

At 130 no doubt he punishes the fighters, at 135 he’s going to look least impressive because that’s it.

Floyd was a beats at 135, at welter he stopped looking like a beast, does that make him less legendary?

I do get we expect more of Loma but let’s not discredit Campbell who have a hell of a fight.

Camacho would have been so outclassed that he would have had to retire early.

Slow down, at 135 that would’ve been a great match up and I’d also favor Camacho.

Camacho has the hand speed, skills and footwork to give Loma fits and at 135 was the bigger man with a granite chin. Camacho was tough as all hell.

I’d pick Camacho as well at 135, that’s not Lomas best weight.

Does Barry mean that Campbell is that average Loma should be putting the shoe shine on Luke for the full 12? I was impressed with Loma and Luke did fine for the first few rounds. Both Hearns are going senile.

[alexjust]

When did the legends of the past give stellar and completely dominant performances against the top fighters? Hearn Snr. talks nonsense, Loma won dominantly against an opponent whose size and frame should make him a welterweight. At least.
