I noticed that Loma threw more straight left hands than usual in Nakatani fight, and less action with his usual dominant lead right hand,

I was wondering if Loma was throwing more lefts in this fashion to change his fighting style and protect his right shoulder from re-injury.

I only saw him throw at half strength a kind of downward cork screw punch he often uses when going for ko with his right hand in Nakatani fight, I was wondering if the more straight left punches and less awkward thrown right hand were a conscious decision by Loma or just what was available due to Nakatani's height and fighting style.

Did any of you notice this and if so what was your opinion.

Loma mixed it up a bit for sure but he does that quite a lot anyway.
I think Nakatani was just an awkward opponent to fight being so tall, I felt Lomachenko dealt with him quite well considering.

His punch selection was crazy.

He was snapping Naka's head back wit jabs. Just like GGG does.

In my mind, roughly four years have transpired since Lomachenko fought an opponent of Nakatani's calibre. He could get away with more than he normally does, because we're accustomed to seeing him face better opposition.

Every punch he threw looked effective.
