Which Lomachenko fight convinced you he was a once in a generation fighter?

[j0zef]

He did demolish Walters easily, but to me, the best showing was against Rigondeux. It was supposed to be a beautiful chess match of 2 of the highest decorated Olympic boxers of all time, one where Loma was generally given a slight edge because he's bigger.

The result was vastly different from expectations. Size played little to no role in the fight, Rigo was consistently beaten to the punch, made to hit air, and was completely outclassed. Loma did not bully him all over the ring, but he methodically broke him down.

It's not that I don't like him. I think he's a good fighter. He's nowhere near as great as people are trying to make him out to be. Especially after seeing that fight this weekend. No way in hell he should've been getting touched up like that by Campbell. Campbell would be food for any ATG lightweights. Dispatched easily.

Statements like that are the hallmark of fake fans who don't know shit about the careers of the ATG's they use to try and discredit modern fighters. And there is always some sly agenda going on when they play that game.

Campbell is not an ATG himself and never will be. But he is tall, long, quick, exceptionally well schooled, determined, smart, powerful enough to hurt when he lands clean, with a good chin and stamina. He is also a southpaw.

Short of a lucky punch, fighters like that are not "food" or easily dispatched by anybody. There are plenty of ATGs who were given all they could handle, and even beaten, by opponents who weren't as good as Campbell.

Campbell is slow. Doesn't throw straight punches. Very wide. Straight up and down no special effects. We've already seen ATG run thru guys like Campbell. He's domestic level.

What did GRJ Jr do pre & post Lomachenko that impressed you?

Post? Loma still has that boys soul. GRJ won’t even fight more than once a year now.

Post? Loma still has that boys soul. GRJ won’t even fight more than once a year now.

GRJ is so inactive and has fought such a meh level of competition nobody really knows how good he is. The reason he gets do much hype is because he lost to Loma. It's not based on anything he's actually done in the ring.

Y'all are being manipulated. Loma is a good fighter. He's not what y'all have bought into. Campbell is domestic level. Linares is vacant belt King. Pedraza is decent. Lomachenko is being touched up by some average fighters.

But I suggest a faster, stronger, and longer fighter can touch him up and give him a good fight and I'm the crazy one.

Loma looked like he wanted to prove he wasn't just bigger, but also levels better than Rigo, which was something nobody thought possible before the fight.

The way he used angles, feints and footwork to keep Rigo always out of position and confused, while constantly touching him with light punches but not even trying to hurt him, had me wondering what the heck I was watching. God knows what Rigo must have felt like being on the receiving end of that, but it broke him completely.

The mistake you made is listening to the guy. He’s not seen enough boxing (or been able to understand enough) to know what’s an ATG and what they would and wouldn’t lose a round or two against.

Yup, that’s where it’s at now.

It's time for MCC to say "No mas"

Loma has broken him.
