How Good Is Sosa?
I can't remember if I've watched him fight. Judging by his resume, he looks to be a solid contender. Does he have a shot in hell against Loma?
Re: How Good Is Sosa?
I've never seen Sosa fight, but the fact that he had a draw against Walters and Lomachenko made Walters quit, I would say that Lomachenko will win. Sosa was the WBA champion, but it appears that he vacated that belt and it will not be at stake and only Loma's WBO belt will.

I thought the draw was a bad call. Walters deserved the win, IMO.RScarf1 wrote:I've never seen Sosa fight, but the fact that he had a draw against Walters and Lomachenko made Walters quit, I would say that Lomachenko will win.

Re: How Good Is Sosa?
Sosa is a tough little spoiler with decent pop who knows how to fight dirty. He isn't on Lomassiah's level but a headbutt and sneaky holds could get him an opening to clip the Ukrainian. If Sosa can make it to the late rounds his chances improve but Lomassiah should get the little mugger out of there in 5-7.
Re: How Good Is Sosa?
He's strong and resilient, but his limitations seem made for Loma to exploit. He's also a spurt agressor rather than someone who applies steady pressure like Salido.

I give him very little chance. Different level skill set
Re: How Good Is Sosa?
The fight is on YouTube and that seems to be the consensus opinion based on the comments under the video which, of course, makes it worse for Sosa.armageto wrote:I thought the draw was a bad call.

Re: How Good Is Sosa?
This is going to be an absolute white wash of a fight. If not for an early knockout then this is going to be a clinic for 12 rounds and I don't see how Sosa wins a round. It's such a horrible fight but you can't blame Loma for that considering he's now the most avoided boxer on the planet now that GGG seems human.
Re: How Good Is Sosa?
Lomachenko is an excellent fighter, and he is not guilty because of the lack of competition at his weight division.
Honestly, I can not see the way for Sosa's victory - below 1% chance .

Well, the betting odds give Sosa about a 6% chance of winning. If I were setting the odds, I think I would've put it closer to 10%.
