Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Drops Pedraza Twice, Wins Decision To Unify Titles

[Vlad_]

I wasn't impressed with Lomachenko's performance. Pedraza was a tricky fighter for HIM but the fight shouldn't have gone this way. The 11th was the only dominant round for Lomachenko and it all started with an uppercut I believe. Pedraza wasn't hurt but he took a lot of shots. Without that round this was very basic performance from Lomachenko. He didn't look like the P4P "king" ESPN was making him out to be.

Lomachenko is still vulnerable to body shots. Go watch the Salido fight. He was constantly hit to the body and it definitely affected him. Pedraza hit him to the body quite often but not enough to make a real difference.

Bradley also pointed out how Lomachenko leans to the right. It looks like his head movement is the same throughout. His head always end up in the same position. Someone will capitalize on that eventually.

That's 2 fights in a row Lomachenko didn't look all that great.

I'm still a fan btw.

Bla bla bla...

Loma went up to 135 and took on the division’s top dog in Linares in his first fight and knocked him out. Then came back after surgery from a major shoulder injury and unified with the next champ in line, instead of getting a warm up fight.

But yeah, keep on writing them essays.

All that is correct but I'm still not impressed with his performance last night.

Linares has been brutally knocked out before by lesser fighters so that wasn't a big of a deal. Pedraza is only a few fights removed from being humiliated by Tank Davis.

Nothing impressive about his last 2 wins.

Loma said in first place that Pedraza style is not enjoyable on the ring. Loma loves when opponent comes to him so he can catch him with the counter. You could see that he tried to make Pedraza come towards him, also you could hear from Papachenko in corner ''Strech him'', Loma also said this after the fight that he tried to convince Pedraza that he has chance to win. Pedraza knew he would be in danger by coming towards Loma. Also Pedraza have decent defense with good body movement.
Taking into account that Pedraza took Davis fight on short notice and had to drain him self to make weight he did pretty well for first half of the fight. I think he just was lacking decent fight plan for Davis like he had against Loma.
Davis and Mikey has more suitable fight style for Loma. Styles makes fights.

That's the fight that needs to happen next for Lomachenko, a fight with Tank Davis for next year. Loma's team need to forget about a Mikey fight, he'll get stopped by Garcia.

I've been saying Tank's team should encourage his fight and not shy away from it. Tank will be able to compete with him even if he loses. He won't take a beating or anything and won't get out classed. Who cares if he loses a 8-4ish decision if that is what ends up happening? A loss to Lomachenko will help Tank out, not hurt him.

As he was paid off not to box but rumble with a puncher in Davis.

He did box Davis. Davis is just as better boxer with power.

Every fighter wants to fight an opponent that's there to be hit.

Pedraza style isn't that special where it should bother Lomachenko if he's supposed to be the P4P king.

Lomachenko didn't look that good in this fight, Verdejo would beat his ass at 135 in a future if Loma still champ. Lol

What I meant is that it is hard to give exciting fight with guy that runs away from you whole fight, doesn't take risk and is there to survive 12 rounds not to win them.

In Davis fight Pedraza had fought different fight.
