Hats off to Loma for making this fight happen. The haters will hate and the purists will appreciate a man putting legacy before money. Loma's resume is the best first 16 fight resume ever in the history of professional boxing. Nothing more could be asked of the man. He's gone out, ready to go out on his sword everytime. Those that 'understand' boxing will write in the annals of boxing what Loma did here this week with praise. Non of the nay sayers and little minds chirping thier hyperbolic but...but...but...will have any bearing. Fact is he is the most exciting and skilled boxer to come out of this generation and he's showing his dedication to the sport and legacy. All these small, inconsequential voices, are not Lopez fans. They are jealous detractors who are here to try to do damage to Loma's feats, with out of context cherry picked and myopic statements. Fact is, Loma will be remembered as one of the best ever and we get to see this man in the now. The Messi in boxing. Accomplishing something only last accomplished by the great Pernel Whitaker.
Now within grasp, Loma has to beat Teo and bring it home. It's the final stretch baby. It's the final piece to a goal he set years ago.
The myopic and biased bb stooges will never understand honor but fall to thier true agenda that Haney exposed in them, we can't let no white boy ever beat a black man. And Haney was specifically saying that in relation to a question about Loma. Such people are here to spread thier invectiveness, thier hatred and venum. If Teo takes the man down, that's a win for our agenda.
Anybody who beats this obscure hypetrain white boy from some far away land helps our true agenda. Saying it like it is, no sugar coating. Go read bb forums and you'll see conspiracy theories and myopic outbursts meant to divert attention and try to delude with cherry picked statements that do not pass the bs test. Life is a lot more complex than a cherry picked statement.
Loma is appreciated world wide by all sorts of people and races. These haters can't even be sane or neutral on this great fighter. All they do and say, is to protect thier fragile self-esteems while greatness is right before them. Pugilists and those that understand boxing, know that in terms of being special, this goes beyond that, this is beyond special. Pernell and then Loma, if he beats the final piece.
This post is every bit as well thought out and written as any article I've read. People might debate the Lomachenko naysayer's motives but the assessment of Vasiliy's accomplishments are undeniable and should be respected.
I personally can't remember the last fighter to give up size, speed, power, youth and money for legacy.
Lol Loma giving Lopez part of his purse as a consolation for the beating he’s going to dish out. Loma is a true champ, money takes a backseat to his status as the man at 135, need more fighters like Loma who just want to fight the best.
no era normal.sakur stevenson 800 por pelear con nadie y teo 1,2 por pelear el libra por libra?
La razón por la que ESPN y Top Rank le ofrecieron a López 1,2 millones de dólares es porque no hay venta de entradas ni PPV. No había suficiente dinero para pagar a los combatientes lo que debían pagar. La oferta a Teófimo es la misma que ganaron José Pedraza y Jorge Linares.
