There should be the option for Loma win by forcing the opponent to quit on his stool
Good fight anyways. Its good to see that they can get good opponents for Loma

ppl at the start of the year were speculating lomas 2018 would be linares and pac, i wonder if itll come true
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
Potentially a classic, just have a feeling it will be a huge let down.
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
Loma, easily.
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
Linares looked good in his last fight. He is a bit bigger than Lom and has a lot of experience. If Lom beats him easily I will be convinced that he really is what he appears to be.

Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
Linares too slow of foot to corner Lomachenko.
The Mexican will be stalking but will constantly be turned and unable to get set.
I expect little in the way of effectiveness from Linares. He can bang but he's limited and his ticker is questionable under adversity.
It will be a disappointing fight if you're expecting a lot of excitement.
Oddsmakers have installed Lomachenko, the smaller man, as a heavy 8-1 favorite.

I think Loma's best opponents he could fight are Berchelt and Mickey Garcia.
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
I think Linares gets the GRJ treatment. It's a solid fight, but Berchelt or Mikey are the only real dangerous opponents.

Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
linares moves quite well actually and had top notch hand speed, i can see the comparison to the russell fight where loma neutralized a quick foe
btw why does linares have questionable heart pip? and you said on another thread that hes quit before. when was that?

Linares is very good. Loma is truly elite. Not a hard choice.

For years I thought Sugar Diabetes was a Welsh super flyweight . Just sounded right
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
Berchelt would have been nice but style wise this is a must see fight.

I like Linares, he will make this Loma's hardest fight imho. Sadly still not enough to win though but that's how good Loma is I suppose.
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
Lomo vs Mikey Garcia next, assuming they both win. I won't hold my breath though.
Re: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jorge Linares - 12 May 2018
Does anyone know whether the WBC Lightweight Diamond Belt will be on the line in this fight? Linares technically is the holder of that belt which gives him the mandatory status for whoever is the holder of the actual WBC belt.

Linares on his upcoming May bout with Lomachenko: "Trust in me. And bet the house."
If you're so inclined to do so, Lomachenko is a -800 favorite. You can get +600 if you trust in Linares.
