    Thanks for uploading, but damn how much lomas feet have slowed down in there. its like he used to automatically feint and turn/dip on instinct but now he has to think first causing a split second delay.

        Early on, I said he was too light on his feet to deal with anyone who had real power. And, that to adapt he would have to sit down on his punches more, which would slow him down a bit.
        That's exactly what he's done. I expect the next time we see him in a keep-busy fight, he's going to look fast again.

          Yeah, I hope he takes a stay busy fight in December. If he fought Haney, that would be great but I don't see it happening.

            Walters was running pretty hot before that loss as well, but it's clear that the utter humiliation he took just destroyed him as a fighter. I don't think I've ever seen a fighter's career dismantled so completely and so suddenly over the course of just one fight. He was good too, that's the remarkable part. Who knows, if he'd stayed in there and gone out on his shield he might have been able to salvage his pride and continue his career.

              11 months. Thurman beat Porter off an 11 month layoff and a car wreck. Walters simply was outclassed even though the LDBC swore Loma was ducking.

                Yeah i rewatched the fight this morning, i think Campbell being southpaw also negated more of lomas usual movements
