Lomachenko Fought At 135 in World Series Boxing

[YNG]

All this bs and none is going to mention that the AIBA removed the featherweight weight class (where Lomachenko competed) after the 2008 Olympics?.

[Lonelystoner]

There is no featherweight division in the WSB either because they scrapped that too.

If someone is regularly giving away 7-8lbs bare minimum (as much as 10lbs sometimes if not more), 2-5.5'' in reach and would be giving away as much as 15-16lbs against the biggest fighters at that weight are they facing bigger guys are not, yes or no?

If many of the champions at the weight division below weigh/weighed more than you on fight night are you small or big for your division?

btw lomachenko was coming into the fight with gary russell junior at 138 coming up from 125.5 so how the hell do you assume he's coming in at 138 from 135? that's nuts

Loma 129 - Ramirez 135
Loma 136 - Salido 147
Loma 138½ - Russell 138
Loma 134 - Koasicha 133
Loma 138 - Rodriguez 132

Loma 137 - Martinez 144
Loma 138 - Rigo was 130 the morning of the fight in his tracksuit

Lightweight

Loma 138 - Linares. Judging from his previous ring weights he would've been 146-147
Loma 138 - Pedraza 147-148 as per a member of his camp
Crolla would've bare minimum had a 7-8lb advantage
And Campbell would've had at least a 10lbs advantage going by the weight Shane McGuigan said he would come in at

the lightweight division still existed sir. thats 132. for some reason he decided to weigh in at 135, maybe because he's a natural lightweight?

i thought you were saying lomachenko came in at 146 - 147 which makes more sense. he didnt come in at no damn 138 for the fight with linares. he was already rehydrating to 138 from featherweight. you make zero sense sir.

I don't need to see I already know all this. In fact, I already told you it myself lol

And no it isn't nuts. He's just not as big as you're trying to make out and he doesn't need to rehydrate as much in this third division as he did for some of the ones he did in his first. Not rocket science

no the part you're missing is you're simply not able to rehydrate as much when you're coming up from 126 and only have 24 hours to rehydrate and he still managed to add 13 pounds overnight. Coming from 135 he's at least adding 10 pounds, he not as small as you want to pretend he is.

the evidence is literally in the first post ****ing idiot. you came here to argue for your boy and didn't even read the post obviously. sit down clown

Clown is it? You one of the feisty ones huh? Just what the forum needs, another keyboard badass...

TBH I have learned something though, apparently the first few seasons of the WSB (when Loma was in)were contested at slighly different weighclasses:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Series_of_Boxing

Until season 4, there were five weight categories which were different than 10 categories in amateur (Olympic) boxing or 17 categories in professional boxing. These were Heavyweight (91+ kg), Light heavyweight (80–85 kg), Middleweight (68–73 kg), Lightweight (57–61 kg) and Bantamweight (50–54 kg). In the fourth season (2013–14), the number of weight classes was increased to ten, and they are same as in amateur (Olympic) boxing.

So 61Kg instead of 60Kg as it was from 2014 onwards. However, if you check the Boxrec weights for all the WSB fighters, you'll notice a curious thing... they are all recorded as weighing exactly on the weightclass limit, whether it's 132.25 for 60Kg bouts or 134.5 for 61Kg bouts so what's actaully happened is that Boxrec has simply recorded the weighclass the bout was contested at, as would be the norm in an amateur contest - rather than the actual weight the fighters came in at. So we don't actually know what Loma weighted except that it was no higher that 134.5.

Anyways, I'm content that I've learned a bit more. Far as I'm concerned I don't give much of a shit whether Lomachenko fights at 130 or 135 and I can't see why it matters to you. I was just trying to share what I knew but it turns out I was wrong. It happens.

I do not get the hate for Loma, the guy is fighting any and everyone and I havent heard him make excuses or say outrageous things..The guy seems professional and a very hard worker who is dedicated to his craft. He has tremendous skill and talent, makes weight, is not in any headlines for outside of the ring antics....Why the hate?

the point is lomachenko is not fighting bigger guys ike everyone pretends he is, he's fighting in his natural weight class and starting to struggle
