Loma v the Axe Man

[Spicoli]

I knew Walters once but man he is emphatic about 'opting out'. Not sure I've ever watched a guy so certain and confident about staying on his stool. Very underwhelming.Loma calls out Vargas. you'd save time throwing a side of beef into a wood chipper.

well to be fair he was asked who he wants next and it seems like he really didnt know so unlike the rest who say they let the promoters deal with that he gave an actual answer/the first guy who could think of :S... I want loma to take on salido first and then vargas, hey let him beat the other champs.I am suspecting walters is locked in a backstage war with hbo, first his missing weight by a fair bit then the strange draw and now his strange post fight comments S: I suspect walters wanted to stick it to hbo here :S

But at the cost of his reputation and pride?I'm reading he quit and blamed it on ring rust due to HBO and his promoter.Crazy.

oh yeah he definently quit no doubt about it but it wasnt a full on beating, so i think there is something else going on here, walters post fight comments seemed rather odd... maybe i was incorrect and he really isn't commited to the sport anymore

It seemed that way in the Sosa fight also. The whole 'draw' thing and how it was almost swept away by hbo and crew. I really do think someone, higher ups or deal makers, were intentionally putting the screws to Walters and trying to knock some of his shine off. In the lead up and weigh in he just lacked fire and when asked about fight night in last interview he never once said..I'm going to win. He said we'll see what happens and just watch tomorrow night. Not to discredit Loma and if he shook prior to the bell Walters then even more credit to him. Wouldn't be surprised if walters was smoked out in more than one way either

no they would not, especially Leonard.

[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.

[erics44]

Yes Leonard has bigger names on his record

That's not the debate tho

[erics44]

And also lenarad

Him too

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?
