Great night of boxing ESPN

[superjohn]

Lomachenko v. Rigondeaux coming up.

 

[Marat]

First time in history that both fighters have 2 gold medals.

I like lomachenko to win.

 

[UConNick]

Slava Ukrayini! Pulling hard for Loma. Think he wins it, too.

Side note, I hate how Teddy Atlas and Joe Tessitore both say "Vasili" (the Russian version) instead of "Vasyl" which is the Ukrainian version of his name, and therefore, correct. I know it's small, but Ukrainians and Ukrainian-Americans are very particular about these trivial things.

 

[Marat]

Loma made Rigo quit. Wow!

"Nomaschenko. "

Brutal UFC knockout just now. Have to find that fight replay.

Loma is a beast! Rigo had zero ansers for him. People will say he was too small or old but what i saw had very little to do with size and a lot to do with skills. Loma needs to move up to 135 and fight Mikey Garcia.

Loma is special, but that fight was a made for tv slaughter. A guy that age moving up not one but two weight classes to fight a guy of that talent level. A Bob Arum Special. They needed a name for his resume, but it was never going to be a close fight.

Arum would never let Loma go up two classes to fight Crawford, which would be a great fight.

Loma and Mikey Garcia needs to happen!

 

[superjohn]

Lomachenko is pretty much the perfect fighter, guys like him don't come around too often if ever.

The Mickey Roman v. Orlando Salido fight on HBO last night was unbelievable.

The Mickey Roman v. Orlando Salido fight on HBO last night was unbelievable.

I couldn't look away. I am a fan of Salido , or at least his fights, but he looked like a shot fighter during the introductions. His eyes already looked swollen.

His footwork is from another planet.

Still had the heart of a champion despite the result, those guys are so tough.

Thats because theyve been 3 weight classes apart. Last nights fight was at 130lbs while Crawford is now fighting at 147lbs.

#NoMasChenko

He's one of the most complete fighters I've ever scene. I'm a big GGG fan but Loma is a better boxer

My point was Arum would never let his fighter take that fight if roles were reversed. Nothing deeper than that. And while it was a nice win, it wasn't as dramatic as the hype will make it sound.
