Excellent bounce back from Loma, I am pleased :obama:

Nakatani was game from the start though he wasnt doing much damage. Countered Loma's pivot move with body uppercuts or elbows but that stopped once Loma's left started finding the target too often. Also Nakatani didnt want no problem on the inside so he tied Loma every chance he could until he couldnt. After that it was a wrap.

Good win, I would fancy a Teo rematch or a Haney fight. Man still got it though I would prefer him to expand less energy with age. But tonight, apart from the headbut and some body shots, Loma didnt get hit cleanly. One thing too is that he really does damage for all the pitty patter talk about him, he's not super powerful but powerful enough to hurt.

He beat that man down real bad.

He'll never be the same after that. This was one of those beatings.
At first I thought Nakatani didnt prepare to fight a lefty considering the straight left found its target easily from round 1. But ultimately he wasnt mobile enough to give Loma problems as well as Pedraza did.

I though Loma would have had issues with Nakatani's reach because of the Pedraza fight but it really was the mobility (coupled with the reach) he had difficulty with. A stationary fighter like Nakatani had no chance though he held his own in the first couple of rounds.

I guess The Nakatani File must’ve not required too much space for Lomachenko to download unlike the Teofimo File. Good bounce back for Vasyl. Hopefully Nakatani eye isn’t permanently damaged for the rest of his life.. it probably is.. fukk a boxing career.

Great fight from Vas, agree, best for a while.

Last two rounds were difficult to watch for me. :damn:
