Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Don't How You Beat Lomachenko; Who's Gonna Beat Him

[Vlad_]

Have Loma’s next opponent drink MCC’s tears. That might do some voodoo and help him beat Loma...

[TheCell8]

A Salido type fighter wouldn't be able to beat him. People forget that he nearly stopped Salido in the 12th round, which should've been scored 10-8, had Laurence Cole been more competent. He already figured him out at that point and had they rematched, it would've ended horribly for Salido.

The kind of fighter that will beat Lomachenko would be a Shawn Porter type fighter. Someone that's aggressive, front foot heavy, but also has fast feet to be able to cut him off and prevent him from using angles.

There currently isn't a fighter like that at those weights.

In time, I think Shakur Stevenson would give him problems. But that will also have to coincide with Loma aging and getting slower as well.

stop bring up tank name, fact is his team been avoiding loma
if lomo can endure 135 weight punches, then dont expect davis could ko him lul

[Goodtry]

Lomachenko said Campbell hurt him.

False! He told he felt Campbell's power not was hurt.

I will answers hearns question. A guy who is not in your stable. A guy named Gevonta Davis .

Loma will finish his work at 135 in the early 2020 and deside to go down. What will Davis do? Cut his d1ck to go to featherweight? Say it is not PPV? He is not ready? Please, stop it, find another boogie for Loma. Last trend is send Vasily to 140

Its tiring trying to get people to understand that Tank took on Pedraza at 130 at a time that Pedraza was struggling to stay at the weight (he's 135 now and talking 140). At 135 he was in far better shape for Loma - yet people still compare the fights as if they are 1-1 comparable.
Also Salido - he weighed in over 3lbs heavy, refused to try make weight, rehydrating to 147 instead, then relied on a referee that allowed him to foul all night - plus Loma at the time was learning how to pace himself for 12 and started too slowly, and didn't know to grandstand at every low blow - all things that will never happen again. Loma doesn't finish fights with a full fuel tank anymore - grandstands at every low blow (and we can assume the referee gets an ear-bashing on low blows from the Loma camp before each fight), and is a lot more experienced. It wouldn't surprise me if the Loma camp simply cancelled the fight if someone tried the Salido weight trick again too (and they likely telegraph it to the oppo so they don't go there). Salido was a one-off, just like Hopkins losing one of his early fights.

I think I've told you this before, but your observation and perception of Team Lomachenko's response to the Salido bout, is exactly the same as mine. Their different fight approach is clearly evident.
That's why it's somewhat comical when people say Loma has Salido problems. Loma had solved his Salido problems before the 12th round of their bout. Too bad a rematch didn't happen to clarify that. What you do have, is how every fight since has gone. Hearn is probably right. It will mostly take some decline or injury, for Loma to lose. His best > the others' best.

Lomo has not fought anyone with concussive power, and complete boxing skills, he gets hit quite a bit for having "matrix" type speed.

A true puncher knocks him out last Saturday, early too.

Jose R could knock him out, and he isn't even an elite fighter yet, nor he is too far away in weight.

Same stable, but we know Arum wants to ride a gravy train, he won't risk Lomo's momentum until he is forced too.

The key to beating Lomo is actually matching him with elite opponents in their prime.

Nicolas Walters?

[Goodtry]

EXACTLY!!! And these CRY Babies had jack SHT to say when Loma was fighting guys 1-2 weight classes lower than him like 122 lb Rig. , or 126 lb Marriaga

And all suddenly forgot that Mariaga was late replacement of Salido, who refused 500k to get 40k in his next fight

[robbyheartbaby]

They just waiting for Loma to get all the belts... Why fight all this competition if you can just wait it out fighting bums and get it all at once when a Lion gets old... Worked perfectly for Clenelo.

Yes it is a tried and tested method that is for sure

[LetOutTheCage]

The only thing that will beat him is time. A lot of the so called top guys seem content to wait it out until Loma either retires or shows clear signs he's on the decline.
