Welcome back. Strange that you feel the need to jump into someones defense though.
Is Veeraphol Sahaprom hipster ****? That was during your lifetime. Kosei Tanaka won his first world title in his fifth fight, that was 5 years ago. What makes it applicable? Or is it just because it's Lomachenko?
EDIT - Just noticed Bundini quoting himself. You're not sticking up for another poster. You're coming to the defense of your alt
Don't make it so obvious next time.

Too big is my guess. Too fast? Not really. The first half of the fight Teo rarely connected flush, most of his punches grazed loma or were blocked/parried. I just think Loma was playing with fire fighting in a division that he did not belong to. What was he supposed to do though? Nobody would fight him at 130 so he had to move up. At 135 Loma has looked somewhat beatable and vulnerable. Too small for the division, too short, short reach etc.Comment

Stevenson
Shakur thinks more highly of himself
than he should realistically he is not a hard fight for Lomo @ 130 because Lopez is basically a 140lb fighter the size difference and the injury was the reason we saw the type of fight we sawComment

Not really defending him I just don't like boxing hipsters they're destroying the sport always attacking casuals. If boxing was ran the way hipsters like yourself want it ran it would be even more of a niche sport. Boxing hipsters are destroying boxingWelcome back.

While I agree that Loma is definitely not a fraud, for me it goes both ways. People were saying he's the greatest p4p fighter in history, so called experts said he's much better than Mayweather and Pac, I've seen posters on here say he does everything better than those two proven greats etc etc.He isn’t a fraud and I’m a Lopez fan. You’re the exact problem with boxing today that I cited in an earlier post.
want to know why boxing is going down the s h i t t e r? You’re looking at it square in the mirror.
This is also why MMA is slowly taking over boxing. Why? Because they don’t care about a “0” that boxers and its mentally stunted fans these days are hung up on. All they want to do is fight fight fight. It’s because the best are ALWAYS fighting the best and when you fight the best you take a loss.
Once upon a time boxing mentality was that of MMA. “0” meant less than mixing it up with the best and sorting out who was the top dog. All knew that win or lose they were all going to get paid. I place a large amount of blame on the fans of the sport who happen to be the most venomous of all sports.
Today “boxing fans” are a cancer to the sport. Now if you lose a fight you were “exposed” you were “garbage” you fought “tomato cans” you were “over rated” all along. This gets pasted all over social media because know nothings who waste 90% of their time doing nothing but trashing don’t know the sport. Today not a single fan can spot an iota of talent because if that fighter doesn’t have a “0” he’s trash. Even PFP greatest of all time SRR would be called trash. Fans need to get a grip
That, to me is another problem with boxing. They see a good pro fighter have some good performances and they're ready to crown them and rank them above much more proven fighters.
With Canelo's combination of skills and resume, how were people ranking Loma above him? What had he done to be ranked above Mayweather and Pac on all time lists?
I get the infatuation with the '0' can be an issue (more from casual fans in my experience) but I've seen former pros, respected trainers and longtime fans of the sport prematurely crown Loma as the greatest. The infatuation with the '0' had nothing to do with it because all of that over the top praise was happening with a loss on Loma's record.
This premature crowning of fighters to desperately try and have greats in the current era is as much of a problem as the obsession with an '0'.Comment
