Why is the Linares win so heavily highlighted for Loma?

[GhostofDempsey]

Mikey fought a better fighter than linares for more money.

Doesn’t matter. He avoided Linares after all the talk and more importantly avoided Loma. Mikey moving up to 147 for Spence was a way to save face. Lose to Spence and everyone expected it, Mikey doesn’t lose any ground in the rankings. Lose to Loma and he is embarrassed and slides in the rankings. Harder to recover from a Loma loss from a career ladder perspective.

If I remember correctly linares didnt want the fight after a few tries at negotiations.

He wanted more money

In my opinion, Lipinets would stop linares just like 4 others did.

Almost doesnt count in anything but horseshoes for the record.

And dont forget corn hole too!

Wasn’t Jorge Linares’ best win against Luke Campbell and Anthony Crolla who are common opponents with Loma? Wasn’t Linares stopped early by a nobody in a TV Azteca card? This was following his loss to Antonio Demarco who Adrien Broner destroyed. Why is this even heavily considered a big win for Loma?

Loma’s best wins are against Walters and Gary Russel Jr. at the lighter weights. After really dissecting Loma’s resume, it’s good, but it’s not great. I’m measuring his resume at lightweight (not anything before) compared to Teofimo and it’s not that much better.

Well...
You pretty much answered your own question.

Cuts. His stoppage losses prior to Loma were due to cuts.

lol
Salgado knocked him the fugg out.
In 1.

Your logic makes no sense

If loma is number 1 p4p. It wouldnt be embarrasing losing to him at all.


That would be like losing to floyd right?

Cano knocked him out in 1 round too.

Caught cold there too?

Exactly. Loma isn't Floyd and Lopez really isn't there to learn **** from Loma. His gameplan is to impose himself, not to admire Loma's boxing skills.
