Loma ain't beating Mikey, leave that fight alone
Mikey can jab the way Linares should have.

Plus more fundamental with his counters. Don't like that fight with how small Linares made Loma look.

Plenty of other good fights he can make, so no need to chase that one.

Loma got dog in him :mjgrin:
That KO meant alot to him.. soon as he hit the shot he was relieved.. it was a tough fight man, but I give him alot of props. I love seeing fighters grow eventhough they show weakness and Loma will only get more complete with experience.. he aint no floyd but hes def special

Don't know what to make of that fight :yeshrug:
Granted it was one fight vs. a top opponent, but what I took from the fight is that despite all Loma's talent moving up in weight can put limits on any fighter. At 126 and 130 I think Loma can clean out any fighter, at 135 Loma becomes the physical underdog in a lot of fights and will have to rely solely on talent to win fights. That becomes a dangerous game when facing top opponents who will have height, weight, and reach advantages every time out.
