Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Weekend Dominance Will Leave a Historic Impression

[vinnieq]

You know who Lomachenko's number one pick is?

Terence Crawford

[Ca$ual Fan]

Once Loma wins this fight and unifies the whole division, I don’t see him going to 140. It’s more likely he’ll go back down 130 and fight guys his size, which he should imo. But if he goes north of 135? Oh well, what can you expect when greatness is calling?

Loma had a similar fight with Walters. Walters never fought again. If this will be the last fight of Lopez, Loma won't get much credit. If Lopez goes on to rule 140, then it's different.

All signs show that Loma wil embarass Lopez and stop him. I think Loma's on a mission to stop Lopez (jdeally make him quit). It's Commey's blowout that makes people talk up Lopez. You are as good as your last fight, and people naturally overrate punchers.

It is a ligit fight. Yes Lopez is younger less experience but in these times he earned the shot. All fights are close when you have KO power just an equalizer. Is it coming at the right time ? You better believe it, another six months and it would go up a weight class. But its coming at a time when it is a ligit fight really no hype needed no one is going to be exposed in this fight. Both will be tested. It is a good gut fight. What turned me away from Lomo was not Lomo it was ESPN shut up already two years ago. Let me decide his skills his values in the ring. In fairness alll fighters have promoters but this one come on ..... the volumn will be low bc of the annoucers. Hey it is free no PPV to kick around in your head I know you are getting screwed on this one now what is the undercard again ? just in case. Know someone who dont watch much boxing tell them to DVR it. They might get bit. Get to see a fight on a channel that claims sport as its life blood. I just hope someone gets hurt.
BLUES

Maybe Fitzsimmons' worst piece yet

This site had Lomachenko beating Salido in 3 and Russell dominating Lomachenko via wide UD, two of the easiest calls you could get in the sport.

Take the worth of their opinion at your own peril.

[ShoulderRoll]

Why even mention Haney, Davis, Taylor, Prograis and Pacquiao?

He won't fight any of them if he moves back down to 130 as is being talked about.

Let me get this straight, Loma is going to put on the performance of a lifetime such as never before based on what? Is he facing a lesser opponent than the ones he’s faced thus far? Quite the opposite is the case I think. Lopez brings a number of qualities loma hasn’t faced and will be able to derail his virtuoso performance. Lopez is more accurate, faster, stronger, younger, bigger than anyone his faced. Loma Is probably still going to win, but he will get hit and be forced to box on the back foot a lot more than he would like to, no doubt about it.

No, he's not, I mainly agree with you about strenght, somehow size (even if Teo is shorter than Cambell, Linares or Pedraza).

He's not faster than Russel Jr or more accurate than Rigo.

Teo has been looking like a good boxer against the Magdalenos of the world.
We don't know how he looks vs another good boxer. I have never seen him vs a boxer.

Teo has been able to land his money punches vs cement footed guys.
Watch the KO of Commey, Richie got lured into a right hand like a noob, guys like Loma won't do that kind of mistake so easely.
Commey dropped his left hand while throwing his right face first with no head movements, that's some UFC MMA/boxing level mistake.

So maybe Teo is that great guy that they say he's, maybe he'll whoop Loma like Loma did Rigo, that's boxing after all, we shall see. But kid's a lot of questions to answer.

Saul Alvarez is on everyone’s P4P list and is #1 on Ring, along with many others.

The SAME Ring and many others that hold Jarrell Miller in horrific contempt, Kong Ortiz in small-to-medium contempt, but Alvarez in zero contempt.

It’s like Tom Brady and the Patriots. The world KNOWs they’ve cheated MULTIPLE times, yet they call him the GOAT (he’s not, Montana is).

Saul Alvarez is a DRUG CHEAT! Just like Baby Miller. Just like Ortiz. But we give Alvarez the Brady/Belichick pass.

Oh, BTW, Ring is owned by Golden Boy. Hmm...

Lyle fitz is an straight fan boy. The best #1 p4p would have never lost to a man with 15 losses on his record and would have never gotten dropped by a class c fighter jorge linares
