Great contest; video game finish.

These guys make the heaviest divisions look like the shambles they currently are.
 
Awesome fight last night. Makes me a bit embarrassed that we roll out in our thousands to lap of shit like Haye Bellew 2. This was real boxing
 
Just watched it this morning, great fight. Fair play to Linares, he put up a good fight, but Loma is just next level. Is there a more enjoyable boxer to watch?
 
I just love how he changes the angle of his attack so frequently, his footwork is insane.

James Kirkland is up there
 
What do we think. Can Loma go up in weight again?
 
Surely not, he looked visibly smaller than linares last night. Mind you, if you can’t hit him.....
What do people think?
He got timed and dropped in the 6th and badly hurt in the 9th; the danger with going up is great. He might be able to pull it off, but the risk, per blow, really is an obstacle. He showed he can be hit and hurt last night and that will only increase at heavier weights.

Besides a fight with Tank is the next logical step and the fight most want to see!

Nothing but respect for him whichever route he takes.

I think he should stay at LW or below for now. He looks undersized even as a lightweight for now, and that will only get more pronounced at light-welter unless he's able to bulk up a bit without sacrificing his speed. There's still several good fights to be made at LW and below anyway, and one absolutely immense one vs Mikey Garcia :drool:.

Last night's fight was incredible. I was very impressed with Linares too. He's one of the more talented boxers in the sport imo, although he's very inconsistent..
 
Interesting re the Loma fight and how judges score fights, At the time of the stoppage, Lomachenko was up by two points on one judge's card, Linares was up by two on another and one judge had it tied.
 
Warrington's making himself look a right sausage playing up to the scummy Leeds fans. He's not that sort of kid so what's he trying to act like Conor Mcgregor for.
 
Had Loma 3 up going into the 10th. Still buzzing after watching the fight. Really high level stuff.
Yeah. Really my favorite type of fight. High level skill, speed, a bit of drama with a momentum change and then added bonus of a conclusive finish that meant no controversy (which was brewing because Loma was definitely ahead).

One of my favorite fights I've seen live and one of the highest skill level matches in recent years. BOTH fighters covered themselves in glory.
 
No one wants this guy man. Been looking for an opponent for almost a year now and everyone is running scared.
Are you trolling?

HE is the one that got busted with PED's and then voluntarily opted out of the fight before the commissions decision. Charlo and Jacobs I am certain would jump at the chance of meeting him. They saw it took two years for GGG to be given the chance and that ended up as a robbery.

Canelo's a good fighter no doubt but nobody is running scared of him.
 
Really enjoyed the Jack-Stevenson fight. I thought Jack edged it & should've got the win.
