Then there’s the view that other fighters “deserved a shot” before him and had been waiting longer. Would any of them beat Loma? No.
So there we have it.
He did lose that fight, he wasn't outclassed but he learned a heap from that fight. A fight or 2 against a top contender and he wins that fight easy.
Yes, he lost. His team over estimated, but he/they learnt and have gone on from strength to strength. I think in this day and age when we have everybody avoiding everybody else in order to maintain their legacy, this attitude should be applauded.
if you're good enough to mix it, mix it. I'm a Mix over Marinate type of guy.
