Comments Thread For: Vasiliy Lomachenko Drops, Batters, Stops Masayoshi Nakatani in Nine

^Peep the technique.

Vasily knowledge of inside fighting and compact frame gives him a wider range in the pocket, than taller opponents.

Your boy Lopez don't want that.

Just watched the fight this morning. Lomachenko styled on Nakatani as expected but man he's completely altered his style now. He is much more economical and doesn't throw many punches. Not always a bad thing but he used to routinely throw 60-70 punches a round, and now is in the 20s range. Heck, was even below that for half the fight vs Lopez. His defense was on point though and overall looked good! On to bigger and better things!

When the opponents are taller/longer, Loma has to utilize more energy for defense and covering distance. His feet are still very busy, even if his hands aren't flying like they used to. I think it's a necessary adjustment.

It is more than that IMO. I think this is how he will be fighting going forward.

siablo14, I'm afraid that dirty-chenko will headbutt and cut Teofimo like the last time. Vasily, was practicing on Masayoshi last night ; do you remember when Lomachenko elbowed Nicholas Walters, when Walters hit Lomachenka with body-shots? Well hes at it again, I think Vasily was also trying to headbutt and forearm Nakatani -- much of the swelling on Masayoshi was due to slight contact with Lomachenko's head.

Teofimo needs to low-blow dirty-chenko like Orlandoe Salidoe to keep him in check.

i noticed that too it almost like he goes for the kill now with every punch. I did notice though i dont know if its age or just the size he gained but he doesn't seem that active like he was at 126/130. He was like a energizer bunny non stop pressure and pitty pat shots before landing the hard shot. Now every shot has bad intentions but stamina not as good? idk

Maybe he just wanted to KO him to send a message.

I remember calling Nakatani a boss level club fighter. I wasn't wrong.

This noble technique might be Teo's last resort if the rematch happens.
Doubt it will work again though.
Loma has learned a lot from Salido fight.

I’m just wondering where Loma got this power from.

is he doing a margarito?

cause his punches were oddly heavy compared to any of his other fights.

I know nakatani has that zombie style but still, Lomachenko’s new found heft is gonna put Teo in for hell.

Wow! Yes! Great win for Lomachenko!

[siablo14]

Loma-Lopez next. Loma always giving us the fights we want and for that reason I am rolling with him.
