dundeefc1783 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Guess a lot will depend on how powerful and durable he can be at the higher weights. He can clearly box rings around people with his unbelievable ability but he certainly can’t afford to walk onto shots like he did last night with heavier guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jude Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I could watch Loma all day, mesmerising. Brilliant fight IMO. Would love to see it happen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet at the same time that's the way he's having to go to have competitive fights. Even as good as Linares was he was thoroughly outclassed for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Linares nicked rounds effectively at times. Great movement, footwork and hand speed from Loma all fight though and the body shot was a beauty. Didn't even see it on first viewing. I thought very similar. Whilst most of Lomachenko's round wins were clear, I thought Linares was nicking just as many. Started to look like a procession after about 3 rounds until Linares scored the knockdown. Thoroughly enjoyed it though. Wondering what his next step is. Bob Arum seemed to suggest a unification with Beltran would be more likely than Mikey Garcia. I can't see him stepping up too many more divisions and the power he felt from Linares might be a bit of a reality check. If he were to beat Garcia, I'm not sure he'd entertain many more at lightweight. There aren't any major names at super-lightweight (at the moment) either. They might try and convince Crawford to come back down one or get to a catchweight for a proper 'Pound for Pound' clash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Johnson must be the size of a driving range these days. Shannon the Cannon, as ever, would be funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked Kingpin up and surprisingly he's boxed 5 times since Joshua. 3 wins and two defeats (one a TKO to unbeaten Peter Milas in March 18 and the other a UD loss to Pulev in April 17). Having seen that, wouldn't be surprised if it's him since he's staying reasonably active. Will probably be a bit of a punchbag that will hang in there for a while against Fury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Fury looks so skinny. He says he has recruited Ronnie O'Sullivan as a consultant for his general mental well-being and focus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Anyone giving Warrington a chance tonight? Can understand a potential argument he could outwork Selby but personally can’t see anything other than a Selby win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Selby is a level or possibly 2 above Warrington who can probably be best described as game but limited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
