ESPN 12/8 Vasyl Lomachenko vs Jose Pedraza (WBA/WBO Lightweight title unification)

[42 Monks]

So you wouldn't say he outclassed Pedraza?

I been rooting for Loma to lose, but the fact is he's a special fighter. He simply didn't look as dominant as he usually does tonight, but he's in an upper echelon of fighters, and I wouldn't argue against anyone who has him P4P #1.

No one else is doing what he did in the 11th like Loma. That was absurd and ESPN needs to upload that clip so we can marvel at his craft.

I don't know how you can look at Loma and Crawford and say that Loma is definitely better.

I can't even say he's better than Canelo

Pedraza should have done more consistent body work. Of the body punches he did throw, it would freeze Loma up a bit and Pedraza could have thrown more to head immediately after to actually land clean. Easier said than done right? but Pedraza wasted a lot of energy and punches and when you invest in body work from the beginning bell 11th round rallies get more and more difficult to accomplish

 

[R=G]

Just saw the knockdowns on espn.com...so this was another Loma blow out?

 

[R=G]

Damn Pedraza's weak ass punches got Loma's face looking worse than I thought lol

He def in trouble when he gets in there with a power puncher with skill

Mikey knocks him out with a left hook

I don't see how you can watch Loma fight and act like he's not even in contention for that top spot. All the aforementioned have an argument for that top spot.

This nikka's got fast hands. No power though

Brah like Paulie Magg without the glass jaw

Lomas still top 5 P4P. The names on his resume in a short amount of time coupled with the eye test solidify it. But the fanboys overrating him along with the E!SPN machine is giving me Lebron vibes. He isn’t clear cut #1 P4P but he’s top 5 for sure

that's different

and that "no one is doing what he did in the 11th"

a lot of people are knocking dude out waaaaaay before that but whatever

It's way to beat Loma. Stop head hunting . Hurt his body .all this Bob and weave would stop short

Mikey beats Loma by KO inside of 8 rounds 135, 140, 130, 126 whateve

 

[Bigblackted4]

Max, Jim & Roy all crying on HBO

That tribute was a tear jerker

 

[Yuzo]

he tried to get pedraza out of there a few times in a couple other rounds. but he couldnt. lomachenko is a guy who will pick up the pace, then take the rest of the round off, or the next round off. lets say you pick up the pace when he is taking a round off. thats a fight.

 

[Bigblackted4]

marquez and pacquiao smaller than him, I don't want to hear that shyt, he suppose to be a technician, what weight gotta do with getting touched up by a noodle arm jobber

I’m talking about before you put Lopez in their with him.

How is that different? I literally said I wouldn't argue against anyone who has him #1.

And it's not about knocking him out... You don't have to be a devstating puncher to be P4P #1... Again, how can you watch that beautiful onslaught in the 11th and act like that's regular? Mixing those punches while stepping around Pedraza, to completely disarm another fighter like that... That shyt is not regular!!

Loma didn't look his usual self... And he still dominated. Pedraza didn't have a game plan to win, everything he did Loma had an answer for. It might've made for a boring fight but it happens. If Thurman can go 12 vs. Bundu Loma can go 12 vs Pedraza. It does not diminish how dangerous these guys are in the ring.

Stop it. You seen Mikey take apart an Easter that was 100m dashing from him away the whole fight, and punch him harder than he’s been hit before. I can go with Lomas shoulder is bum, but he didn’t look special outside of a minute or so in the 11th. Mikey would Zlatican the Loma that fought tonight.
