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

[LoadedWraps]

if you're not taking peds, you're going to decline at around 35 way more often than not. Competing at a high level until 45 will never be the norm in any sport, especially boxing.

Time will prove you wrong, it's being done as we speak and will continue to be the trend.

Body's don't age calendar years, this is science.

By all means keep writing off the older fighter in fight predictions, I'll stay in reality where 35 really means nothing anymore.

ok, so how many guys do you see performing at high levels into their 40s? If you wanna talk reality, then back it up. Because for every 1 you mention, there are wayyyy more washed up at that age.

López will ko Lomachenco in less than 9 rounds.

Lomachenko will be older after his fight with lopez. I plan to bet on lopez and that is coming from someone who HAS NEVER bet before!

That sounded so much better in your head...

No... that sounded so much better in YOUR head!
As for me, I make plans how I will spend my prize.

Touché... enjoy the prize.

Don't make a habit out of betting though, or you won't have your winnings for long

Loma took 148 power shots from a bigger stronger fighter. That ages a fighter quick.

Age in boxing isnt always defined by the actual age if a fighter but most of the time the mileage in their body. Amateur fights and training fir them count too. Eric morales was an “old” 30. Hopkins was a “young” 40. There are many things to look into when determining how old a fighter is.

True. Although I plan on betting twice bigger on Gervonta Davis vs Leo Santa Cruz for +10 out of 100 but everyone will agree that one is a no brainer. After that I stop betting again, bad habbit.

He didn't take that much punishment and it was the 2nd "tough" fight of his career. Yes damage will age you eventually but he doesn't have a history of taking damage or being in wars.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

He aged like spilt milk.

Weird considering his style was tailored to avoid "wars"
