Manny wants to fight Lomachenko, who doesn't seem to want to fight him back. I thought this match was kind of absurd but after thinking about it I'm warming up to the idea. How substantial is the size difference between these two really? Lomachenko could probably gain enough weight to meet Manny at 140 lb where I could see a fairly competitive match. Can Loma hang with even an old, past-it Pacquiao? I think it'd be hard for him. Loma has peerless offense but he's still hittable and wouldn't be the first tricky evasive opponent Manny has caught. I'm not confident Loma's power (which has always been cumulative) carries over to higher weights, whereas Manny's power is unquestioned. It's probably not going to happen but if it did I might have to stick with Manny to win, even despite Loma's skills. What do you guys think?

This would be after Manny fights Horn again right? So assuming he looks good there (and wins) Manny could make more of a case for this?

Spence vs Peterson tomorrow, should be a good test for where Spence is at. Lamont Peterson has a lot of experience and he's one of the hardest B-tier fighters to get a clear win against, so if Spence can put him away early it'll be a pretty big statement. I'll try to get the new thread up beforehand, drat work demands keep getting in the way

Loma has about 1 and half inches of height on Manny, but has a shorter reach by about the same amount. Manny might be a welterweight, but that's like his 7th division. Loma's power is pretty negligible and he'll lack the size and physicality to have the same type of success that Horn and Vargas had at points (both lost obv, but they were able to rough up an older pacman duing the fight) Manny is still allegedly able to make 140, so that would be the ideal weight for it. It's a good fight, but I'm not sure how much Manny has in the tank and he's a lot less focused as a senator than he was as a congressman. Dropping weight might be a lot harder now too, so he could easily be ending his career the way ODLH did. In theory though, it seems like a good fight for capturing interest and money. Manny is a star, even if he is a faded one, and Loma is potentially the best boxer of this generation. A HOF name under his belt and the recognition that comes with it could do him nicely. They're saying it's a bad fight idea because they'd have to move up so much weight but that's a dumbass excuse give they just brought Rigo up two divisions. E: after the hard no from Loma, Pacquiao now says he wants to fight the winner of Horn-Crawford Jump King fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Jan 19, 2018 |

Honestly what's the worst that could happen when a fighter whose reputation proceeds them, moves up to fight a significantly bigger fighter who is a bad style match-up for them?

I know it's probably going to be a walkover for Errol, but I've got shameful amounts of love for Peterson so I hope he at least makes it interesting. It would've been so amazing if Lamont could've gotten the decision against Danny. That would've done wonders for his career (but it was his and his team's own fault that they gave away the first half of the fight strategically).

I'd be willing to wager a not insignifcant amount of money that if Lomachenko fights Pacquiao that Lomachenko stops Manny by the 9th round.Care Bear Stairs posted:Easter - Fortuna is turning out to be quite a brawl Easter usually has such a reach advantage on his opponents that I'm-pleasantly from the entertainment perspective-surprised that he tends to be in pretty nip and tuck fights with lots of infighting and exchanges The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Jan 21, 2018 |
