No offense but we could say the same thing about every dominant performance.
No offense taken.

I mean styles have everything to do with every fight.
I disagree. I am one who thinks no style mattered against a prime RJJ.
Bhop's career is based on neutralizing his opponents best assets aka style.
PBF ...style matters for 1-4 rounds.
1 or 2 dimensional fighters...yeah style matters.


From what I saw it was Loma's style that dominated. That is why i said....i wonder how much of his dominatin was due to stylistic matchup


Martinez although most likely not in his prime is a solid counter puncher/boxer but he looked lost at times and could not get out of the way of the straight left. He was steered the entire fight. Loma's speed and movement was something we don't see that often.
Agreed.

It's just that a standout performance like that can cause some to anoint him P4P.

I think I've read a few posts from you stating similar as in 'I am not sold on fighter (x) just yet. Let's see how he does against fighters like (y,z)fights

I have done it..anointed a guy as the next great because they thoroughly dissected (1) style, then got trounced several fights later.
