    Why does Lomachenko lack power?

    Floyd even at 147+ had a certain "snap" to his punches that got fighters attention. Mosley once said Floyd's punches felt as hard as Canelo's.

    Pacquiao, same thing. Thurman got brutalized trying what Lopez tried.

    Loma however got no snap to his pitty-patt punches, his punches look almost like he's pushing them. Teo took about 50 shots right in the face and shrugged them off.

    He's a smart guy but he seems to lack that Caveman gene that gives a man power.

    Floyd did not have a knockout since 2011. Loma stopped quite a few guys much bigger than him.

      Bro he has power hes k/oed most of his fights at 135.
      He just couldn't sit on his punches and get into the right positions to land good hard shots.
      Plus he definitely landed some decent hard clean shots tonight.
      You could say why diidnt Teo knock Loma out with soo much power and how dominant he was in this fight.
      When you have two very good fighters its very hard to score knock outs cause a good beard comes with being a great fighter.

        Nope. He has 2 stoppages in 5 fights and those were to a bum in Crolla and the other to a fragile fighter whose been stopped 4 other times in much better fashion.

          He respected Lopez' power too much to sit down on his shots. When he stomped Crolla with that right hook he seemed fully planted because wasn't respecting anything Crolla threw at him, not to mention Toyota Corolla was shelling up which is what Loma seems to depend on sometimes

            that was a pitiful performance for the much hyped p4p fighter, if you can't even compete against someone who is slightly bigger than you, you should be kicked off the P4P list.

                It was a very bad fight plan.
                The world expected better especially from papachenko.
                I bet its not a happy camp atm.
