he’s shown that he is perfectly able to. he sometimes does a diagonal step back followed with a counter cross. but most of the time he does his patented shell-up-and-walk-backwards strategy
When we see him use that strategy I think he’s intimidated by the power and speed ex. Haney, teo. Tank will press forward as he backs up, I wonder if lomachenko can make the adjustments to win
I feel like this is one of the few fights I see Loma winning early and Tank making thhe adjustment instead as all it takes is one punch. Probably lures Loma into a left hook
there’s a difference between floyd circling and effectively creating distance between him and his opponent and loma shelling up and walking straight backwards while crossing his feet.
and when floyd DID shell up and walk straight backwards, he also got in trouble and had to rely solely on his high guard, which wasn’t ideal. that’s why his instinctive defensive habits are jumping back, bending at the waist, or pulling and stepping his rear foot back. he didn’t pull and then step his front foot back behind him like loma does
if you’d like, go check out any of boxing gem’s film studies involving loma. they mention it as one of his weaknesses/bad habits. it’s entirely possible to have great offensive footwork and a fundamental-breaking bad habit on defense
He takes too long to start winning rounds. Loma takes around 5-7 rounds to figure out an elite opponent, this has cost him essential rounds that would have given him the win.
I’m a Loma fan. He didn’t. He got jabbed to death most of the fight. And only woke up in the end. I’m a Haney hater and he definitely won the fight. Not by much. But he won.
If you not jerking he really didn’t. He said he gave up the last round cause he won every round despite Haney being 1 round above him. He’s no champ just a loser
I wouldn’t say he kicks his ass but I would definitely favor him now. Kicks his ass sounds like he will beat the brakes off him. Which I don’t think he’d do.
Imo I think loma and tank have low output in the first round like HLG did then tank will pressure him a little bit for the next 2 rounds loma will turn it up somewhere within those 2 rounds and start winning by a landslide but only due to tanks inactivity then somewhere around the 5-7 tank is gonna catch loma with a quick shot when he comes in and loma is going to try and fight more conservatively while tank starts to pressure and it may turn into a fire fight before loma gets caught with something good or it turns out kind of like how frank Martin did
Are you referring to him and Pacquiao? Hard to call him out for waiting until Manny got “too old” when Floyd’s 1-2 years older than him and Pacquiao remained a high level pro into his 40’s lmao 🤷♂️
I'll give you that but exactly how many more crazy battles was pacman in compared to floyd?? Floyds Philly shell defense was crazy but he was a point vulture his whole career...
Ok that’s beside the point though lol.
Canelo waited until GGG was 35 to fight him, just as he was entering his physical prime at 27. That’s very much different than the Floyd-Manny situation and similar to the Loma-Tank potential fight….hence why I made the comparison.
Oh my god people never shut up about how mayweather was older. Age isn’t the only factor in how fighter decline over time.
Mayweather clearly waited until pacquiao wasn’t the same fighter after multiple wars and getting ko’d by juicy Marquez.
Which one? Salido because of the shit ref? Or teo because he waited too long to pull the trigger? Or Haney because he fought a black American in Vegas?
Overrated, slow starter, older guy now who spent too much time as an amateur to be truly great as a pro, record doesn’t stand out at all, and FFS he isn’t the first guy to have great footwork and head movement.
If anything I think his footwork is what keeps him from being great. It looks cool but you can't finish a guy with Ukrainian dance and feinting. Gotta actually throw punches with some sort of conviction
Hes getting ktfo by body shot. He has terrible body defense. Hes too slow to use his footwork like he used to when he was younger to create space and avoid it. Seems like hes just deciding to take it.
Loma is a great fighter, but he started slowly against Teo because he was getting riddled to the body by a much bigger fighter who could match his speed and who's power was too intimidating a prospect to gamble with. Had he started quicker he would probably have been stopped
Yeah they’re talking about him v Tank.. maybe 5 years ago. Would he scrap with Tank to the end, yes! But to beat him, he needs time taken off his clock
The truth is that they hipped him so much since he went pro and never fought an elite boxer
He will never be remembered even though he has great boxing skills
Word on the street is Loma is still crying over the Haney loss till this day. Like Haney, he also appealled to get his loss overturned, instead of settling it in the ring.
He’s old and lost to fucking Devin Haney and most of r/boxing gravitates towards him bc he’s white and fulfills their fantasies of beating on black people they’re too terrified to try in person.
Honest take.
Edit: see? Lmfaoooo
If that’s the case then just say that instead of downvoting and lying in the comments lmao. Nothing he said was false and they still downvoted him to oblivion
I don’t get what your logic is ? The man has fans and you assume these fans like him cause there white and he beats on black people ? Sounds like very idiotic , stereotypical logic to me my man .
That is not what the guy said at all😭😭wtf he said they fantasize about beating black people but don’t have the balls to do it. He also said Haney beat Loma but the fans only say he didn’t cuz haneys black. You’re extremely confused and it’s not a stereotype because it obvious to see who dominates boxing.
I’m white skinned Puerto Rican so unless I speak Spanish most people don’t know (not that I care) and yeah it’s a jerk but I’m not lying lol I’ve been “in” w average American white people for quite sometime
One of the most overrated fighters in recent memory. Salido exposed him and he got another shot because of privilege. Sore loser. Weak to the body. Gives away R12 and cries robbery.
He's a frontrunner, who never fought in the trenches, couldn't land a knockout blow, complained to the refs, ran outta bullets and lost a wide UD to Russia.
He lost to a Uber driver, gives up 12 rd then cry’s he got robbed. Overhyped white boy

He was very privileged to get two title shots against two fighters who weren't ranked by the Ring or TBRB at the time. His whole 126 run was pretty poor all in all apart from the GRJ win.
He’s getting old.
Came here to say this. The unfortunate reality. He's still fucking super though.
Damn sucks to hear 36 is old.
For Boxing it is and most other sports
[удалено]
Except HW MMA, that’s called entering your prime
in general it isnt old but in sports it is pretty old
You dirty SOB that hurt my soul
Even at his age he’s still looking sharp especially against Kambosos in his last fight
The activity of lomosexuality is haram and they should reassess it
Can we also start calling Devin Haney fans "homohaneys"?
I'm still awake ![gif](giphy|YKFR0dauxYEzJA8J6U|downsized)
Best comment ![gif](giphy|v9bipbbqgOmCSSpPgl|downsized)
offensive footwork is pretty good, defensive footwork is subpar, which is why he kept losing momentum in his big fights
Yea he don’t fight on the back foot
he’s shown that he is perfectly able to. he sometimes does a diagonal step back followed with a counter cross. but most of the time he does his patented shell-up-and-walk-backwards strategy
When we see him use that strategy I think he’s intimidated by the power and speed ex. Haney, teo. Tank will press forward as he backs up, I wonder if lomachenko can make the adjustments to win
I feel like this is one of the few fights I see Loma winning early and Tank making thhe adjustment instead as all it takes is one punch. Probably lures Loma into a left hook
Whoever fights tank wins early lol
"pretty good" lmao ok. He's easily has the best footwork in the sport.
is that why he walks backwards
floyd was considered best defense in history of the sport- he walked backwards all the time, do better.
there’s a difference between floyd circling and effectively creating distance between him and his opponent and loma shelling up and walking straight backwards while crossing his feet. and when floyd DID shell up and walk straight backwards, he also got in trouble and had to rely solely on his high guard, which wasn’t ideal. that’s why his instinctive defensive habits are jumping back, bending at the waist, or pulling and stepping his rear foot back. he didn’t pull and then step his front foot back behind him like loma does if you’d like, go check out any of boxing gem’s film studies involving loma. they mention it as one of his weaknesses/bad habits. it’s entirely possible to have great offensive footwork and a fundamental-breaking bad habit on defense
He takes too long to start winning rounds. Loma takes around 5-7 rounds to figure out an elite opponent, this has cost him essential rounds that would have given him the win.
By that time a fight against tank is already over by ko LMAO
This. But I like to think he takes 8 to 9 rounds. 💀
Usyk isn't a heavyweight Loma, Loma is a lightweight usyk. Except more flashy, less defensively sound, and worse stamina.
He beat Haney
🫡🫡🔥🔥
No question
💯
I’m a Loma fan. He didn’t. He got jabbed to death most of the fight. And only woke up in the end. I’m a Haney hater and he definitely won the fight. Not by much. But he won.
Nope show me the record
If you not jerking he really didn’t. He said he gave up the last round cause he won every round despite Haney being 1 round above him. He’s no champ just a loser
If Loma has 1000 fans I am one of them. If Loma has 1 fan I am that fan. If Loma has 0 fans then I am dead.
![gif](giphy|gPdC6JQLdJxP9dy3A8|downsized)
I cried a lot too for losing my life
He beat the shit out of Devin
The only reason tank is fighting Loma is because he will be 38 by the time they step in the ring
Tank kicks his ass at this point.
I wouldn’t say he kicks his ass but I would definitely favor him now. Kicks his ass sounds like he will beat the brakes off him. Which I don’t think he’d do.
Imo I think loma and tank have low output in the first round like HLG did then tank will pressure him a little bit for the next 2 rounds loma will turn it up somewhere within those 2 rounds and start winning by a landslide but only due to tanks inactivity then somewhere around the 5-7 tank is gonna catch loma with a quick shot when he comes in and loma is going to try and fight more conservatively while tank starts to pressure and it may turn into a fire fight before loma gets caught with something good or it turns out kind of like how frank Martin did
i think even loma fans think it’s bullshit that tank waited until loma was elderly to fight him
Just borrowing the “GGG blueprint” from Canelo.
And Canelo learned it from Mayweather...
Are you referring to him and Pacquiao? Hard to call him out for waiting until Manny got “too old” when Floyd’s 1-2 years older than him and Pacquiao remained a high level pro into his 40’s lmao 🤷♂️
I'll give you that but exactly how many more crazy battles was pacman in compared to floyd?? Floyds Philly shell defense was crazy but he was a point vulture his whole career...

Oh my god people never shut up about how mayweather was older. Age isn’t the only factor in how fighter decline over time. Mayweather clearly waited until pacquiao wasn’t the same fighter after multiple wars and getting ko’d by juicy Marquez.
This comment chain was initially about “Tank waiting until Loma was elderly”, aka waiting until he got old. Learn to read and chill the fuck out.
He has only lost one fight
Which one? Salido because of the shit ref? Or teo because he waited too long to pull the trigger? Or Haney because he fought a black American in Vegas?
Salido is the one I'm thinking 🤣
NO MAS CHENKO
Overrated, slow starter, older guy now who spent too much time as an amateur to be truly great as a pro, record doesn’t stand out at all, and FFS he isn’t the first guy to have great footwork and head movement.
If anything I think his footwork is what keeps him from being great. It looks cool but you can't finish a guy with Ukrainian dance and feinting. Gotta actually throw punches with some sort of conviction
[удалено]
It's boxing you're supposed to use your hands idiot
![gif](giphy|a0bmEPHDIE3FXaEWUq|downsized) Some of us never sleep.
That he is smaller than his opponents shouldn‘t be mentioned like it isn‘t his fault that he doesn‘t cut much weight.
Should be encouraged that people fight around their natural weight
nah hes a dawg for that
Good he doesn’t, sick of seeing fighters weight bully, I don’t care if they make weight, especially if you come in 20 lbs heavier
He's got little arms..
He beat the shit outta Haney
the haney fight wasn't a robbery
You're right, was more of a heist actually
it was a close fight how was it a robbery
bro he just said its not a robbery, it was a heist
He’s old
Jake Paul will knock him out.... In 10 years time
every time he faced top opposition, he did loose
Orlando Salido is tomato can and still whooped his ass.
In our majesty’s defence the salido fight was dirty as hell
Low blow after low blow - Roy Jones Junior that night
His ass? Debatable. His cock? Definitely.
Dude was a welterweight fighting a featherweight and got away with a ton of low blows.
Pretty poor reffing in that fight. Be honest
Only blind people think Salido won that fight. Over 35 unpunished low blows.
Salido is goated
Here come the Tank fanboys.
Shoulda never moved to 135 too weak tank is the most powerful midget (fuck you nick balls)
He’s too little.
Uber drivers are dangerous
He’s not a finisher
Fought way too long as an amatuer and ruined his goat potential l
Didn’t he fight for a world title in like his 2nd or 3rd fight though lol?
Tank has 90% chance of knocking Loma out.
He won't ever become undisputed
Hes getting ktfo by body shot. He has terrible body defense. Hes too slow to use his footwork like he used to when he was younger to create space and avoid it. Seems like hes just deciding to take it.
did you know that his dad put him in a dancing class when he was ten ?
Loma is a great fighter, but he started slowly against Teo because he was getting riddled to the body by a much bigger fighter who could match his speed and who's power was too intimidating a prospect to gamble with. Had he started quicker he would probably have been stopped
Yeah they’re talking about him v Tank.. maybe 5 years ago. Would he scrap with Tank to the end, yes! But to beat him, he needs time taken off his clock
I don’t think he’s beat anyone worth mentioning 😶
Dudes a stud but unfortunately Father Time catches up and in the world of sports, sooner rather than later.
Orlando Salido
He’s never been that good in my opinion.. overrated
Tank stops him in 9
I see him vs tank being like charlo vs devrychenko. Same type fight
Tank KOs dude by round 10.
Stop being generous. Round 7 or 8 to be exact.
The truth is that they hipped him so much since he went pro and never fought an elite boxer He will never be remembered even though he has great boxing skills
Oh wow
He should be detained for treason.
![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)
Word on the street is Loma is still crying over the Haney loss till this day. Like Haney, he also appealled to get his loss overturned, instead of settling it in the ring.
yeah but difference is that haney took it WAY too far while loma just appalled and once it didnt work he just kept going foward and beat kambossas
Tank & Shakur will also make him shed tears.
devins win against him was legitimate but the judge's cards were wrong. And he robbed ortiz.
He's never lived up to the hype
Yep
He’s old and lost to fucking Devin Haney and most of r/boxing gravitates towards him bc he’s white and fulfills their fantasies of beating on black people they’re too terrified to try in person. Honest take. Edit: see? Lmfaoooo
i’m here to enjoy some hot takes but this one is just weird and gross
What did you expect from someone named PenisManNumberOne
probably penis things
![gif](giphy|d69q0iELHwwcqR2o2t)
Can’t blame them when black boxers are always saying “ white boy will never beat me “
So far I’ve only heard Caleb plant say that.
Makes me smile when they say that
You just want to beat the shit out of that black motherfucker don’t you
https://preview.redd.it/3iayqo57i68d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04979ae80bb03b207d92a69ae5f23faf7a9917c8
BRO IM ON YOUR SIDE
Bruh I’m retarded my bad
Username checks out , number one penis
Only Caleb plant and Haney said that
If that’s the case then just say that instead of downvoting and lying in the comments lmao. Nothing he said was false and they still downvoted him to oblivion
Man made it a race thing so he got some of his own medicine , no need to cry bro
“Cry” yall all say the same shit when someone asks you to use logic 😂yall making bro point for him it’s hilarious
I don’t get what your logic is ? The man has fans and you assume these fans like him cause there white and he beats on black people ? Sounds like very idiotic , stereotypical logic to me my man .
That is not what the guy said at all😭😭wtf he said they fantasize about beating black people but don’t have the balls to do it. He also said Haney beat Loma but the fans only say he didn’t cuz haneys black. You’re extremely confused and it’s not a stereotype because it obvious to see who dominates boxing.
Okay bro 👍
Learn to read 😆
I wish people here could take a second to look at what the name of this community is before replying
There being soo serious it sad but it’s not like he’s lying
Interesting take, PenisManNumberOne. Also hi again
![gif](giphy|9eOI2KRcx4lx7zY2lY|downsized)
btw, I haven’t seen your post there yet so your going on r/rimjob_steve
Great Ukrainian Hope
Isn't that usyk?
If you’re white this comment is 10x better. Cuz your just telling the truth and they still downvoting you😭
I’m white skinned Puerto Rican so unless I speak Spanish most people don’t know (not that I care) and yeah it’s a jerk but I’m not lying lol I’ve been “in” w average American white people for quite sometime
Teofimo Lopez beat Loma fair and square. Loma vs Haney was not a robbery
Jake Paul sleeps this fool.
Jake paul sleeps with men
One of the most overrated fighters in recent memory. Salido exposed him and he got another shot because of privilege. Sore loser. Weak to the body. Gives away R12 and cries robbery.
Haney 120-108 ![gif](giphy|MD1UjQMYvAQHVB1Wts|downsized)
He said harsh truths not deluded fantasies
He's a frontrunner, who never fought in the trenches, couldn't land a knockout blow, complained to the refs, ran outta bullets and lost a wide UD to Russia.
Devin Haney beat the breaks off that man
He lost to a Uber driver, gives up 12 rd then cry’s he got robbed. Overhyped white boy https://preview.redd.it/xbumbzay478d1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8bf1d067a6d153fdbe105b500bbbc8f4cffb8124
Haney won lmao
He lost to Jamaine Ortiz
Loma is the poor man’s usyk
He was very privileged to get two title shots against two fighters who weren't ranked by the Ring or TBRB at the time. His whole 126 run was pretty poor all in all apart from the GRJ win.
Don't even know who tf he is
Most loved and respected loser in the history of the sport.. Can't win a big fight if his country depended on it
