Nakatani sucks, this fight sucks. Cherrypick feel good confidence fight.

Dont see why loma needs a comeback fight. Not like he was schooled or got his ass kicked. Cant knock this fight but not really excited either

Everyone with a belt says he needs a belt to fight them

Guess he's trying to become mandatory.

i also keep thinking of how much difficulty lomachenko had vs campbells reach.
then think nakatanis has more power and aggressiveness than cambpell...

[JOITATS]

remember, nakatani landing often and well on lopez.
in fact he landed more punches than lomachenko vs lopez.

Good Fight! Loma destroys him though! Nakatani defense is AWFUL

[KTFOKING]

Nakatani has heart and is tough as hell but he's getting beat up here. Verdejo was lighting him up in stretches but he couldn't keep it up. Lomachenko won't have stamina issues like Verdejo.

Not mad at this fight though, he's not getting Lopez next so why not?

Maybe after Loma wins a fight.

Why is this such an amazing matchup that it won't happen?

Nakatani isn't unbeatable. I picked him to beat Felix but he had a harder time doing it than I expected. Loma is far more slicker than Felix. This is probably a 70/30 Loma leaning fight.

Loma, like Wilder, isn't that well mentally (after all the controversy) and coming from a sad loss and injury, if it's true. He needs a confidence builder. Meanwhile, Nakatani is coming from his best victory ever.

Nakatani isn't very good.

Technically right, but not overall. Nakatani is a good fighter. I say he's better than anyone Loma can fight now, except Davis. His heart is something else. The guy is also huge and powerful.

Bad style for Loma, coming from a loss and 'injury.' Nakatani sent a message to the division with his last fight. Yes, skills pay the bills. In this case, Loma's skills won't be enough.
