Loma v the Axe Man

[vidgil]

Both are more skilled than Leonard, but they don't have nearly the same resume in terms of opposition faced and career defining victories!

Loma is less than 10 fights into his career He's accomplished a lot in those 10 fights but he needs a lot more to be mentioned in the same breath as Leonard, in terms of being a professional. As an amateur perhaps he is the greatest of all time, but he still needs to prove more as a pro.

I rewatched this fight today. God damn is Loma a talent. Painted a masterpiece out there against a very good opponent.

Agree, I don't think any of the so called "elite" pro boxers from 126-135 would be eager to climb into the ring w/ Loma right now.... From the southpaw stance Loma has amazing footwork and head movement and he slips the right hand of his opponent w/ ease and counters w/ combos.... But just like my youth boxing coach used to say for every punch there is a counter and for every counter there's a punch.... On the other hand, Loma really hasn't faced a bigger tougher cruder opponent yet.... Somebody what would rough him up and back him up.... Salido type of fighter only bigger..... Thoughts?
