Congrats to the winners (bettors), anyone able to predict like a KO/TKO in round 10-12?
Most people bet on winning by decision I guess, I didn't foresee KO/TKO as well, lol. 
Topic: [Boxing] Lomachenko vs. Kambosos - May 12 IBF Lightweight Title (Read 1166 times)
It feels good man when Loma wins as he deserves it! He still has his mojo despite being 36 years old, I wonder if he still wants to compete again after this...
Loma seemed to be having problem with quick fighters as he loss to Haney, so if I would choose whom he'll fight next, I'd choose Davis as the latter loves to engage and even if Loma is older than him, I think I would bet on him if he's the underdog.
I think that is a bad style matchup for Tank. The only reason Loma hasn’t been more dominant at lightweight, like he was in lower divisions, is because he is always at a size disadvantage. With Loma being taller than Tank, he will be able to use his angles and distance more effectively. Tank will get easily outboxed, his only chance is to land a big knockout punch. I only wish Tank had this desire to fight Loma when Loma was younger, but he blatantly ducked him and his promoter Floyd as well as Leonard Ellerbe came up with all kinds of stupid excuses why they wouldn’t make the fight.
If Tank is actually serious about wanting this fight, it can easily be made with one phone call by Bob Arum and Turki Alalshikh. We will see if Al Haymon will actually allow it or if we’ll be seeing Tank against another in-house cherry pick after he beats Frank Martin.
That was the clear definition of what happened, "Loma is fast and accurate".. Kambasos still have the same style, he likes to slug but he is not accurate unlike Loma, so he can't hurt Loma. Great things happen wen the boxer takes it slow, and Loma just did that as he slowly destroyed Kambosos until the latter's body give up with a solid punch in the body.
Lomachenko still possesses that matrix-like move that we come to know I cannot keep up with my eyes with his movement, very fast and quick Kambosos cannot keep up; he tries everything but to no avail until Loma finds an opening in the 11th round it was a masterful performance.
Nothing has changed in Loma. A healthy Loma can beat anybody; it's better for Loma to avenge his losses against Haney, Let's see what's stored for Loma after this fight.
Despite Kambosos’ best efforts, Lomachenko was just too fast and accurate, and we ended up seeing a one sided fight that most people were expecting. Loma became the first to defeat Kambosos by TKO. His skills are just on another level.
With this win I would say Loma is the clear #1 lightweight in the world. Tank and Shakur might be undefeated, but that is more of a result of careful matchmaking rather than an indication of their greatness. At his age, I’m not sure Loma will achieve his dream of being undisputed. There is too much politics and ducking for it to be realistic, although, it will still be great to see Loma unify titles against any of the other champions.

It's the Loma that we used to know fast and accurately and had a very good movement in the ring, the timing is so perfect he can get his punch in without getting hit when going out, I just knew in the first three rounds that this is Loma's fight and its a matter of time before he totally dominate the fight.
Now everyone wants Loma, Shakur, and Tank want to have a piece of Loma now, and at 36 years old and still with that performance, he can still keep up with young generations of fighters.
And with Kamboso's loss, he will need to think if he wants to continue fighting, he will end up as a gatekeeper for the champions. If he will continue, it's now three in a row for Loma, and this does not look good for his reputation as a boxer.
I think Kambosos will continue to fight, but only in Australia, and if there's no big offer, he will eventually retire this year.

We've talk about this before the fight that he needs to win this fight of his career is over. Not totally over though, but being a ex-champion and just fighting a low rank boxer, there's no more excitement on that, unless he'll stay to make consistent money.

That was intense, but this was more intense, both guys could do this the whole day,
George Kambosos and Vasyl Lomachenko Weigh-in
No one wants to blink, as if both fighters have a bet on who will blink first I have never seen an intense face-off like this; these two buys are no talks, but I'm sure there will be a lot of actions, it good to know that it will stream free here in my location, the stakes are too high for both fighters and they know it so we expect a very good fight and it all started with this stare down
Yes, it's more intense than the first one, and I think they started this whole trend and set the bar high for a face-off hehehe. So I would imagine Fury vs Usyk during their stare-down and for sure they want to break the record of Loma and Kambosos.
There's also another fight, I forgot, it was all over Twitter having also a long and very intense stare-down.
But the real thing is what we all wanted to see, a great fight between this two and then Loma emerging in a decision win.

I know this fight is important, so I will not rule out a draw or a rematch if the fight is too close because both fighters have the same style of fighting, and we all know style makes a fight.
I don't see it ending in a Draw, there should be a winner but if in case it will end in a close match, then rematch should be sign. Same here, i don't this fight will end up in a draw and for me Loma will win with a wide margin decision. Lomachenko is better that Haney who punished Kambosos in two fights, that argument is enough to convince me that this fight is for Loma to win and Bob Arum is already preparing for his next fight against Shakur.
It could be, but not buying though the triangle theory in boxing. But in any case, if Loma is superior in terms of boxing skills, no doubt that he will win by a wide decision. But we forget that George Kambosos as well scored a upset win against Teo Lopez.
So anything is still up in the open for George, although a huge underdog, fighting at home again, it might be a different mindset for him and as we have said, this is a do or die match or a must win for him.
He should have that kind of mindset, "do or die" for his carreer as a loss here means a big loss for his future. Despite of the successive losses, he is still lucky to have this big fight and all he has to do is to impress the fans again so he will go back to the top.
Of course, anything could happen as we will never forget that Kambosos is the one who beat the fighter that beat Loma.
This is a great fight for sure, but Loma is gonna win this fight.
Before we forget this fight is in Australia, and so here is the weigh-in and final face-off,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpIAF1TD3GU
Lol, at the announcer saying that they are going to beat their previous record of 3 minutes ++ in their last kick off conference and face-off. Let's see what kind of energy George can bring with his hometown behind him.

There's the advantage of Georgy besides him being the bigger guy in this fight, this is like securing the win once in the hometown. George will dominate the fight and will try to catch Loma while they are in the middle of the heat. It just needs a little bit of risk but if Loma catches him first in an unexpected KO, it'd be a big upset that people want to see.
But Loma is just not what he was already. Even in his fight with Commey who was obviously about to fall to the ground, he wasn't able to KO Commey. Loma aged a lot already.

I love watching this kind of fight where both fighters are not fighting for the title but are also fighting for survival.
Kambosos is coming from two losses, and another one will shut him out of the limelight in international boxing,
Lomachencko is also coming from a heartbreaking loss, and a loss will get him thinking about retirement.
Kambosos was coming from a clear loss but Loma's status was quite different as some people think he really won the fight. So it's time for him to prove again tha the is still here and could still be a champion. Against kambosos, he'll go in an easier path as Kambosos only knows one thing, to attack and bully his opponent, but against Loma, I doubt it will work.

I believe if they'll cook this, it will not be a draw but a win by Kambosos. People never forget, once a controversial decision is made, it will again flashback the result of the Pacman vs Horn in the past which the judges even scored a unanimous decision win in favor of Horn, they didn't even make it a split decision so it will not be too obvious. What I'm saying is, if they really want to cheat, they can because they already have that reputation base on the history.

It was like they started at 0:27 and then the announcer in the background doing his job, and after he had said everything, both of this fighters are still staring at each other, LOL. Personally though, I'm seeing Loma winning by unanimous decision here, he is the more experience and the better boxer/technician in this fight.

That's how boxers try to square with their opponents, a stare down and look as someone's soul and see if they can intimidated each other just like in this case, but it seems that no one is trying to back down from all of it and with the organizers allowing it, and at least there are no pushing whatsoever and they remain calm. Obviously as what the odds say, Loma is a huge favorite, because of his experience and yes the tools that he has, foot work and this technics he used to beat his opponent. And if ever he wins then he is again a world champion and still has a good future in fighting Tank Davis. That's the fight that we wanted to see in the future.

I liked that both fighters stay calm, they are just doing a very simple job in this face off since hyping the fight is not anymore necesarry since we all know their will be blood comes the fight night. Kambosos looks confident, I like that from him as he will for sure be very aggressive, however, I believe that Loma will be victorious in the end because he had some skills being a technical fighter while Kambosos heavily relies on his aggressiveness which is not effective against a fighter like Loma.
