He'd had enough after that second KD. You could tell he wanted the ref to stop it.
That's the second Loma mismatch/showcase in a row I've watched. At least. Won't watch any more till he fights somebody decent.

Loma is brilliant but what's the point of show boating against an over-matched opponent?
If he can do that against Garcia, then it'll be impressive.
Have to be real with a guy called the boxing wiz and master class..his face is tore up!
Don't agree with Loma taking the piss out of a beaten "nice guy" but fuck me some of those tricks were impressive.
You'll be waiting a long time to see a competitive match involving him. What sets great fighters like him apart is the fact he makes fans think proven world-class fighters like Marriaga is a mug.
Not that I think he will lose, but he needs to fight Berchelt next then hopefully by that time Davis is ready for him. If Loma beats both of them, going up to 135 is probably his only other option. Unless of course he fights Rigo which I'm happy with.
According to rankings Marriaga has never beaten a guy ranked higher than 60th at 126, if I remember right that guy is 19-8-2. Just saying.
I don't say that in any way to take away from Loma's skill. But he is top shelf, he needs top shelf opponents.
FWIW, Marriaga made Loma miss quite a bit. No doubt Loma was dominant, but I left this fight thinking he is more beatable and less invincible.
Screamin A Smith sounds more dumb than last time. I didn't know that was possible.
Loma is special for sure, match him accordingly
Who's rankings? Rankings don't mean shit in boxing, it's not like golf or tennis. Boxing rankings are based on opinion. Marriaga proved himself against Walters and Valdez.Quote:

If you don't like punch stats Walters also floored him.
If you dismiss that the judges had it 119-108, 118-109, 117-110 and fans it 119-108
I supplied a lot of evidence, only fair to give you a chance to supply evidence in retort. Which good fighters did Marriaga beat?
Yeah Walters won no doubt, it was competitive though regardless of the scoring (opinion based). If a guy is way out of his depth he gets Rod Salkaed or Liam Walshed not hold his own.Quote:

What rankings are you using? If you didn't think the rankings meant anything you wouldn't keep bringing them up.
Evidence? Opinion doesn't equate to evidence.Quote:

I supplied punch stats which you dismissed, the fact he floored him which you ignored, the fact that all the judges had it a wide decision and even the fans gave Marriaga 1 round. If all this is not evidence to you there is no such thing as evidence.Quote:

I'll tell you and show you which ratings I'm using when you tell which good opponents he's beaten
