Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Who Made Rules About Age In Boxing? I'm Just 32; I Feel Young

Also helped that floyd didn’t go crazy between fights and had the advancements in medicine and training.

Imagine if Duran could fight in this era? Then again, he’d probably bring a beer and a Cuban sandwich into the cryogenics machine with him. Lol.

LMAO! That's so true! That's what I give Mayweather (and LeBron) so much credit for! Not everyone who comes from the bottom, can keep their commitment to training, and keep the hunger to be great, AFTER they get some money in their pockets!

I'm usually lunch drunk by 2pm, especially if out with clients.

Very funny! I did f**k that up! Probably because I was thinking about "lunch!" Lol!

Experience beats youth on most occasions; ask any female...

a lot of guys have been on top at 32. If he was 36 that might be different. The young guy has size on him but thats it, he hasnt beaten anyone good yet. Loma will win easily, they just needed an angle to promote the fight and thats why they been building up the age difference to make it seem like his opponent has a bigger shot than he does.

Was anyone ever a champion at 135 in their 40-s??

Not off the top of my head, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Sports nutrition is always advancing, and Loma doesn’t boil himself down

No clue how 32 is considered OLD in Boxing especially for a SKILLED BOXER like Loma

Now yes he did have a Long Amateur Career, however with his style he haven't taken much damage during his career both in Amateurs and Pros

Not really anything to do with being American, just a question of how well the individual looks after themselves in-between fights. eg Mayweather and Hopkins looked after themselves - no large weight fluctuations or other excesses between fights, and they went longer as a result. Same with Loma, he looks after himself, which will add some years to his ability to perform at peak.

So I guess Tank will be washed up by 29...I totally agree.

Lomachenko is def not an old 32. Doesn’t even look that age, looks late 20s. He also doesn’t move like an old fighter. Lopez on the other hand is too young, he’s green and will most likely get his 0 taken in a schooling.

The 0 is o overrated. He will lose it but gain invaluable experience.

Props to Lopez for taking this fight!! War Loma!!

Trump just got pumped full of stuff that made him "perfect" and "20yrs younger"; maybe Lomo has the same doctors.
