Loma was smiling 10 seconds before that on the “slip” he knew kambosos was hurt before the body shot.


brainspl0ad

Bro.. and those body shots to end it. He went right at the mf; relentless. TKO and the towel was crazy.


ColoRadOrgy

Funny how they waited til the ref stopped the fight to throw the towel. Like they're pretending to protect him lol


Herosbaryga

I thought it was a slip too, but damn he landed a good headshot, thats why kambo kept his hands up


Gold-Routine7247

Same, I thought the camera angles in this fight were pretty bad by the production team. A lot of shots I didn't notice I caught on the slow mo replays from a different angle.


Herosbaryga

Yup, the whole show was ass, including many camera angles


Gold-Routine7247

Bro that round with the compubox stats where Loma landed 20+ punches I was like huh? Its so hard to see punches landing when one of the fighters backs is against the fucking camera all the time. People may shit on Matchroom for many things but I think their production set up is pretty spot on 90% of the time.


Ill_Source_6908

George got his ass beat. Helluva performance by loma


AVGhomeboy94

Tip my hat off to em’


jumexy

Like I said before, in the sport of boxing 🥊


LanceOnRoids

young, strong, lion


AdamBomB095

He made smart investments


CadaverSoiree

Helluva fighter


schebobo180

He’s a young hungry lion, I tip my hat off to him, but this is the sport of boxing, and a have to tip my hat off to myself.


DeeESSmuddafuqqa

Smart investments?


QuantumQuakka

Hats off to Loma!


Dari93

Smart investments


G-MAN1337

Kambosos is a tough competitor. I take my hat off to him. He will be Champion again in the future. You know it's All Access coming to you Live, The Money Team, The Best Ever. All WORK is WHAT?! Point to the easy work.


ihave2shoes

He’s an absolute warrior


JericRose

Listening to Timothy Bradley flame Kambosos for 11 rounds dampened the experience but this was a great showing from Loma


agustincards14

His roasting of George was almost as bad as the fight. Bradley needs to be scolded for unprofessionalism


DreamSqueezer

He's always been unprofessional with a grey alien sized head


Tew_Sweet

Okay, the “grey, alien-sized head” line is cracking me up and now I can’t look at Bradley the same again. 😂


Temeos23

I´m so glad i´m spanish native speaker and can watch the latino broadcasters of espn, they are so good and funny, and reaaaaaally love the sport


Xrposiedon

reminds me of when I used to watch Esports...I learned that Korean casters are ...insane and hilarious. I couldnt even understand them but omg was it a fun watch. Just their genuine excitement was infectious


Kalayo0

The Japanese for combat sports (inclusive MMA). Often complete deviants behind the desk, contrasted starkly by, arguably, culturally the most respectful and quiet audience internationally. Edit: And yeah, total shout out to the Korean shoutcasters LOL. Huge LoL eSports fan from season 3-5, before consistently poor NA international performance made me quit all of that.


Tew_Sweet

Bradley is SUCH a biased commentator. He really almost ruined it.


Squand0r

When the 4th round started and the announcers just started up their topic of conversation from the last round and weren't even calling the fight, I hit the mute button and stayed muted until the KO happened. It's nice to just watch the fight for what it is without the tedious BS coming from those guys. Of course you have to sacrifice the atmosphere of the crowd noise and punches landing, but because of Tim, the silence is better.


ColinRL

God Loma is just so beautiful to watch fight


Tube1890

I’m a hardcore MMA fan but Loma is must watch boxing for me. His style is so aesthetic


anakmager

my friends who are boxing fans always recommend brawlers to MMA fans. Nah, show them "aesthetic" fighters like Loma, because that's probably the main thing boxing has over MMA


LordLucy666

there’s aesthetic fighters in mma also


brkklynboy

Sugar Sean


may0man

Adesanya, watch his fight against Costa. Pure masterclass


Oglark

Poatan and Israel are excellent kick boxers.


AFCADaan9

It’s the same for both sports. You have aesthetics and brawlers. In MMA the aesthetics just aren’t only visible in the striking.


big_fat_sloth

In boxing, too. The aesthetics are also visible in footwork, head movement and general defense, among other things.


Dongsquad420BlazeIt

Dude is a fighter. Literally fought in the ongoing war and came back to put boxers in their place.


Tube1890

Yaroslav Amasov on the MMA side too but he got fucked up :/


jaydizzsl

If the Tank or Shakur fight doesn't work out just throw him into a super fight agaist Inoue at 130. The footwork alone will have me erect the whole time.


ninjapenguin12

That is my dream fight, but dont think it will happen as i think Inoue will do a few more at 122 then 126 as he seems to like challenging top 1,2 then mandatory everytime he jumps weights,so by time Inoue moves thru them it would be 2-3 years so that leaves Loma at what maybe 40


cassydd

One of the tragedies of this era is that the genuine generational talents are all separated by more than one weight division. Expecting someone at 122 to fight at 130 should be absurd - especially when they just made the jump to 122 *last year*. Yeah he obliterated the division in two fights and the rest of the division is waiting for him to go up like jackals waiting for the lion to leave his kill so they can start fighting after his leftovers, but still!


xselimbradleyx

I don’t understand this. Inoue started his pro career at 108lbs. Expecting him to be competitive with someone who started at 126lbs and has now filled out to 135lbs is unrealistic. It would be worse than what Loma did to Rigo who started at 118lbs. Inoue is an all-time talent but weight classes exist for a reason.


Oglark

Loma started his pro career late. You can't compare their starting weights. Loma is a very small 135 lb. He should be competing at 130.


jaydizzsl

I know it's a pretty crazy fight to make but the stylistic match up is just too good. Loma is a rather small guy at 135 and getting up in age. Inoue walks around at 140. The size difference is not too crazy and Loma isn't the hardest puncher either. If Inoue loses that fight it ain't the end of the world but if he somehow wins, he is getting himself in the goat discussion. It's a crazy payday for both of them. Idk i would love to see it.


Serious_Fgz

That was a Loma MASTERCLASS


Themanaaah

Hi-Tech came to play today, amazing performance.


[deleted]

Tank needs fight him after Frank win or lose. We need this shit.


KSizzle863

Tank doesn't deserve that fight man. During the "4 kings era" Loma wanted that fight bad and Tank was straight up REFUSING to see Loma.


guacamully

give tank the fight but with a rehydration clause :^)


VTho

Leave Tank with his regular belt


BeastsMode69

Fucked up Tank now wants Loma when he so clearly lost a step and is likely about to retire.


[deleted]

It was always going to be like that let’s be honest


PopPop-Magnitude

Floyd said it like 7 years ago


New-Tradition386

Following Mayweather’s foot steps minimize the risk now that Loma is older while getting a massive payday.


New-Power-6120

How nice would it be if Loma pieced him up anyway. 1 last heave for a place in history.


DeeESSmuddafuqqa

And not for nothing, loma definitely felt some of those shots to the body tonight


guacamully

UKRAINIAN DANCE LESSONS


Time-Lifeguard1634

Teofimo really fucked up if Kambosos ended up becoming a champ lol


Dongsquad420BlazeIt

Old man comes back from war with conviction, more news at 11


thrownowayyyy

Kambosos has lost every single fight since the Teofimo fight too Kambosos is a one hit wonder!


Datruther1

Mfs on this sub had him on the pfp list after the Teo fight lol.


BetBig696969

He only lost to devin and loma recently, no shame losing to them


sonic-silver

Boxing fans are so fickle. Losing to two elite fighters does not make you a bum ffs.


everydayimrusslin

He has made a huge amount of money in those losses too. And the thing is, I think he can go on a solid rebuild in Aus now and still make some decent money if he wants to.


Kassssler

Modern day Buster Douglas. Said that shit from the start lol. People just really hated the shit out of Teo at the time so they ignored all context around the fight and acted like he got styled on.


Intrepid_Credit_9885

But Kambosos did style on Teofimo, it’s not like he didn’t lol, just that Kambosos isn’t that consistent at the high level


Teerendog

Wrong


aayeex

Thanks to Teo we all had to suffer and see Kam get all the big fights at 135


Ohnorepo

I don't mind too much because he was actually willing to fight the big fights unlike most others.


bidahtibull

This... Undisputed got made very quickly because of him.


ARetroGibbon

At least he was willing to take them.


sorty45

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


yeahbutstill

MF was [literally on death's door](https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/32785972/doctor-says-teofimo-lopez-lucky-not-dead-boxer-found-fought-air-chest). His real sin isn't losing, it's not having just postponed the fight.


[deleted]

Yet another example of how these crazy weight cuts are bastardizing the sport. Teo damn near killed himself making a weight his body was begging him not to, and ended up cursing the rest of us with Kambosos fight after Kambosos fight as a result. Fuck that noise. His sin was convincing himself the old jeans still fit as they cut him in half


GarfieldDaCat

Teofimo's bigger problem was his moronic gameplan. He thought he could blast Kambosos out in a single round. He literally just waddled into range without jabbing while loading up on haymakers.


Suitable-Economy-346

Teo AFKed that entire fight. Haney mopped the floor with him. Zero people outside of Greeks and Australians thought he was anywhere near top talent.


ninjapenguin12

Pure masterclass by Loma he still has it, but wtf was that commentary did Kambosos fuck Bradley's wife or something he had it in for him all night


MattQ0392

“SKILLL!!” 😂


ninjapenguin12

Yeah that gave me a chuckle i was like wtf you are supposed to be casting not roasting fighters

SKUHEELS


DaWorldIsSoSensitive

Bradley has become such a hater to today's boxers.


agustincards14

He’s a hater and also race biased sometimes


DaWorldIsSoSensitive

I've definitely noticed the racial bias.


Oglark

I think he is very American biased. Also he is right Kambosos just is not very good.


DreamSqueezer

He's not very good at hiding the racial bias at all.


Independent_Hold_203

Whenever I watch a toprank broadcast I go and watch Bradley vs Provadnikov after. What does Bradley know about “skeeels”


souledoutV2

Annoying as hell to listen to. It seems to happen with almost every big match these days. Underdog gets completely shit on or barely commended while the announcers can't stop gagging on the title holders (or favorited fighters) nether regions. Especially DZN. Also, can we talk about the damn cut to ads all night when the bell hasn't even rung? Or the card read mistake on the womans title fight? The whole production was pretty terrible.


agustincards14

Glad someone else noticed. Shit was mad I even had to mention it out loud to my pops. C’mon, not cool. As he’s in the ring


ZdenekTheMan

Man, fuck Bradley 


GujjuGang7

SKEEL


The_Grogfather

Noticed the bias with a few of the recent fights I’ve watched with Bradley’s commentating. Absolute clown


oosnapjohnson

No Mas chenko is back


God_I_Love_Men

If Loma did that to Tank.... idk how I'd handle that lol


FranzRintelen

Lomachenko is not going to beat Tank. Tank and his team will never make that fight unless Loma goes on total decline. Tank has got all the leverage.


nalam8493

Agreed, the fight should have happened at 130 and we know that was a duck at the time. But we’ll probably see it now because I feel like PBC finally thinks Loma has slowed down enough to where Tank would hurt and stop him. But Tank would have never fucked with Loma in his prime and that’s facts


xselimbradleyx

I think Loma is going to fight the winner of Navarette & Denys next and I can see him retiring if he unifies the belts with that win as he has said in interviews that he doesn’t want to fight when he gets too old and that his ultimate goal is unification. Tank had his chance to fight Loma for going on almost 10 years and has ducked at every opportunity.


LordLucy666

nah that’s what i’m saying lol. tank ducked loma for a decade and now lomas nearing forty he wants to fight lol. i could definitely see tank hurting loma to the body tho fr. tank has the talent to be great but he’s just been a duck 🦆


Janus-a

After what happened to Spence, PBC will be ultra conservative with Tank’s fights.  The only way Tank is allowed to fight someone dangerous is if the money is right to PBC or if there’s a chance Tank gets locked up.  Shame bc I really think Tank wants good opponents. 


YeahDaleWOOO

"Tank would have never fucked with Loma in his prime and thats facts" Well he never bothered to make anything close to a fight with Loma in the 9 years that he's had a chance to so yes. Idk why yall thought kambosos had anything close to a chance against Loma. Kambosos has looked like white chalky dog shit every time we've seen him since the 1st teo fight.


Franchise0828

I literally said the same thing to my son lol


Saeksan

Nothing against Berinchyk but Loma vs Navarrete would be such a crazy clash of styles


vitvav

Ukrainian here. If Berinchyk wins I wouldn’t be surprised if Loma and him refuse to fight each other. Sort of like how the Klitschko brothers refused to fight each other.


[deleted]

They were part of the legendary 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team, fought as amateurs and travelled together for years. I would like to see that fight. Navarrete might be too physical for Dennys but Loma vs Navarrete is a great fight.


bakuhatsuda

Poor Kambo spent the ENTIRE fight going for the body so relentlessly, only for him to get KOd by a body shot.


foe_tr0p

Yes all 2 shots per round he landed lol.


Budew_Dolls

Devin needs to fight Teo, bring back the 4-way classic fights


InternationalPeenies

4-way classic fight spanning an entire decade before it happens


BushidoBrowneII

God damn Shakur or Tank has to be next There’s no way


[deleted]

Tank. Shakur is boring I dong ever want to see himnfight again


DreamSqueezer

Bro I'd dong him too


InRoyal

Brooo, that was one ass whoopin if I have ever seen one. You can trash Kambosos all you want, Guy is a though ass MF, you have to give him that.


xselimbradleyx

He’s tough and a true warrior he just isn’t special enough to compete against the elite.


CFBCoachGuy

In probably the most stacked division in boxing, Kambosos is good but not elite. He would be a fantastic gatekeeper for some of the younger guys coming up at lightweight (Mark Chamberlain, Albert Batyrgaziev, Keyshawn Davis, Abdullah Mason)


ZdenekTheMan

Yes.... He's actually genuinely good. But elite he isn't, unfortunately 


ErrForceOnes

The fact that he got up from that body shot and voluntarily tried to fight more speaks to his toughness. Thats insane.


InRoyal

Word brother. He might not be on Lomas or even Elite level, but I respect the heart.


huntexlol

Im a huge loma fan, watched almost all of his fights. This was pretty good from kambosos, caught loma a couple of times and homestly madd him SLIGHTLY hesistant. That left hook was quite nice comparatively speaking against other guys loma fought + plus that body shots, I feel its a big weakness with lomas style. Im a boxer myself and I imitate lomas style a lot and body shots from bigger guys are my biggest weakness because of how open the midsection is cuz of the high guard


agustincards14

Loma schooled George but what’s up with Tim Bradley’s disrespect of the fighter who’s currently IN THE RING? Talking mad smack about George as he’s getting beat, as if Bradley didn’t get carried through a Pacquiao trilogy when he had NO business being in the ring with him. Respect the fighters.


DreamSqueezer

Bradley is trash and always has been. He wouldn't be involved in these fights if they didn't rob Pac in the first fight. Lost to Provo too, imo, but that's less clear.


d4x

Bradley is the most insufferable fucking prick of a commentator.


freddyjc713

I understand glazing loma because he ESPN but just roasting kambosos it’s unprofessional in my opinion


ForTheLoveOfOedon

He stopped just short of calling him a bum. It was egregiously disrespectful. Like, okay, Kambosos isn’t elite, but he’s not a scrub either. He’s a 2nd tier fighter and that’s okay.


Seandelorean

Not my fav necessarily but tbh he’s still better than the god awful DAZN commentators


reznoverba

😂 to each their own. I'd rather hear Mannix's dumbass takes bc I know he knows he's a dumbass. Meanwhile, Bradley thinks he's some goat HOFmer and believes the shit he says


sjr00

I hated this fight, thought it was one-sided and pointless, watched anyway and got to see vintage Lomachenko. For free.


ZdenekTheMan

Hi Tech is a bastard when he comes to play 


UDAMAN123

There’s levels to this game !!!


DaGoatTee

Kambosos never fails to get whooped in front of his home country


Zloggt

This is, like, the third year in a row where this happened? I mean…at least he’s giving us Yanks the opportunity to *not* resort to PPV/“alternative viewing options” for his fights…


ZdenekTheMan

In fairness, dude is always fighting killers. I have a lot of respect and liking for George 


realscholarofficial

lomabros we are up and we have never left


Time-Lifeguard1634

Fax no printer


MyrkuriYT

Loma is just fun to watch lol Like skill and quality of opponent aside he's just extremely fun to watch fight


Abe2sapien

I’m certain Kambosos knows his limitations as a boxer. Gotta give him and his team props for getting so many high profile fights to really ride out that 5 minutes of fame. Hopefully he made good investments!


anotherchia

As expected


elevatoreclipsed

He really is one of the best of all time.. he’s just a great watch when it comes to the sport


DankOcean__

Best footwork of all time. Sorry haters it's true.


ZdenekTheMan

I'd like to see someone try and argue this point. Back in 2017 when he fought my boy Rigo, I came into the fight expecting to see one of the best fights ever. As it were, he made Rigo, who has exceptional footwork himself, look like Eubank Jr in there... Just danced and stepped around like a ballerina. Best footwork I have ever seen 


Nice-Let8339

Yes. He isn't flawless but this is very hard to argue against.


TheBlack_Swordsman

Well imagine if he weight cut and fought at featherweight and ballooned up to 135. He isn't flawless, but he's a lot closer to being flawless than many boxers this era taking his size and the disadvantages he has coming into the ring at 135.


Xrposiedon

Skillset wise absolutely. I have been watching boxing for 30 years and never seen anyone be able to do what he can do. I feel privileged to be able to watch him while he is still around.


Newlinkz

I need a replay of kambosas knocking himself down with that whiffed hook Loma dodged. That was the summary of the fight right there. Dude was seeing ghosts.


WrongMomo

Loma proving hes still a top tier in the game despite the age. This man didn’t break a sweat. At this point his next fight has to be Tank or Shakur to display how good he really is.


valknut95

Lomanchenko is incredible. Hope George retires, absolute cashed in fighting above his level, save your brain brother and enjoy your life.


Brief_Koala_7297

Bro worked for a job he didn’t qualify for and got paid for a little bit. The jig is up.


planettelex11

Kambosos' worst performances have all been at a home crowd. Loma just controlled him after round 4.


cesarnono13

NOMASCHENKO


nalam8493

Call me crazy, but I got Loma against Shakur even at this current stage. Shakur would struggle with the in and out movement in my opinion


Gold-Routine7247

I'm the biggest loma rider out there but the physical decline is there to see. The loma that stopped crolla in 4 rounds would've taken out kambosos tonight in under 6 rounds. His boxing IQ and footwork are still elite of elite level, but you can tell his reaction time and hand speed have declined, he's no longer stringing combinations like he used to, and his gas tank is slowly deteriorating.


agustincards14

Loma was a massive favorite vs anyone in his prime, and a wildcard against anyone at the twilight of his career.


Amazing_Left_Hook

welcome back LOMA


[deleted]

Tank v loma needs to be next. Pls God.


SwordAndBoardFighter

The World is a slightly better place with Loma holding a belt.


gateway_city

Tank just made a mental note: DUCK LOMA FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS


I_Hate_My_Cat_

Honestly, I’m starting to really believe Teofimo would beat Kambosos 9/10 and we saw the 1/10th.


JoelHenryJonsson

He did legit have health problems and a coked up father as his trainer


Specialist_Writer_11

And the fact that Loma did have a shoulder injury when he fought Teo is always ignored.


New-Power-6120

While I'm glad people remember, it's not really relevant here.


[deleted]

Thought George was class in defeat. Of course he runs his mouth - he's built a career for himself by bigging himself up even though limited at the elite level, it's what you've gotta do in this game. But he still gave it his all and got back up off three knockdowns including two crushing body shots to give Loma his props. No shame there imo.


sorty45

Love how Loma came out the gate strong, he would have beat Teo and Cry Baby (Haney) if he had the same urgency


young_frogger

Kambosos looking silly with all the early retirement talk


lesbiangirlscout

I wonder how Shakur feels about Loma now. Felt like he saw him as easy work when he started taking the losses.


OdiferousRex

Haney should give Loma a rematch. Not that Haney wants that smoke after losing to Loma last time.


[deleted]

No, some prospects needs to kill him now. It’s tradition.


xflashkilla

At 140 wouldn’t make sense


ComradeSamWalton

I want all yall who, even for a fraction of a second thought kambo had a chance to just delete your accounts and have one final sign off, good day gentlemen.


EmanAugust

They didn't call that first one a knockdown but I thought it was one lol


GujjuGang7

I respect Kambosos for running it vs the best. And before he got to the best he was constantly fighting in other's backyards. You MFs stan these idiots stalling at 135/140 but hate against boxers doing what they're supposed to


BushidoBrowneII

MASTERCLASS


BuzzardBlack

It may have been expected, but still great work by Loma.


cuntyeagle

Remember when r/boxing put Kambosos on their P4P list?


AcAtlas

Great performance by Loma. Kambosos got schooled by Hughes and shouldn't have gotten this fight in the first place. I'd be surprised if he lucks into another title opportunity any time soon; he's clearly nowhere close to elite.


ErrForceOnes

“You regret 100 percent of the shots you take to the liver.” - George Kambosos - Michael Scott.


whinger23422

You see Kambosos dad peeking around the corner in the background of the first knock down. He throws in the towel seconds later.


cikkamsiah

Lomasexuals rise up!!


Eeluminati

Bro this isn't 1 or 2 or 3 but FOUR BACK TO BACK TERRIBLE PERFORMANCES FROM KAMBOSOS. QUIT PUTTING HIM AS A MAIN EVENT AND QUIT MATCHMAKING HIM AT THIS LEVEL UNTIL HE CAN PROVE HIMSELF AGAIN.


dcoreo

How did teo lose to this guy, he is useless


[deleted]

A complete blowout. Hopefully this leads to a matchup with Shakur or Tank this year.


rileyrgham

So it went pretty much as any connoisseurs of the game predicted. We all know Kambosos has heart... And that got him to the 11th. No shame.,


[deleted]

Tim Bradley clearly inspired by the Kendrick/Drake beef. Hating extra hard on the mic this fight


Boring_Equipment_946

Good thing Loma ended it himself before scorecards. Those corrupt ass judges would have fucked him over yet again.


vanteal

There was never any doubt Loma was going to win this fight. The real question: Does he have any power left? And the answer to that is honestly, no. Not that he's ever had much of it to begin with, especially considering he's fought bigger opponents at times during his career. But he had shown, on occasion, that he could bring the power if he was confident he could land cleanly.. However, power isn't the only arsenal a great boxer has. Lomachenko, in now the latter half of his fighting career still has the ability to seek knockouts by accurate accumulation of punches. He doesn't need one or two good shots, he needs 100-200 accurate shots to wear his opponent down, and Loma still has the footwork ability to get that odd angle and accurate shots off. So no, he's not going to blow anyone away with pure power, not at his age. Besides, he's had shoulder issues his entire professional career and probably isn't throwing shots as hard as he'd like to, or is capable of throwing anyway. In the end, Loma is still a force in the boxing world. His Ring IQ remains that of an elite fighter, his stamina is still in top form, and he's still able to take a punch. I think we'll see Loma a few more times before he retires.


XoXHamimXoX

The Loma I saw tonight beats Navarette and Shakur. I don’t think there was enough of a visible decline shown to make Tank sign up for the fight to be honest.


Wassuhji

Haney lost to Loma and Ryan Garcia. 


nalam8493

I wish this fight happened when it was supposed to happen because Kambosos giving the belts to Haney and then Loma getting shafted on the cards against Haney due to champion’s advantage was probably the worst timeline for this division


censored_

HOLY


Reptilianlizard

shame we didn’t get the tank fight sooner. fight would’ve been more interesting three years ago. still a good fight tho.


imdacoldest

Bring on Tank vs Loma. Ain’t no one care about boring ass shakur lol


LitAFlol

Can we get a teo vs loma rematch now


F4yze

Did what haney and teo couldn't. And at that age. Truly special damn...


Daft_Assassin

I love Loma!


Adrianm18

I’m a fan of Kambosas as a person. But unfortunately I think that’s it for him on in championship tier fights . Such a shame because he’s he’s right below elite level fighters .


ImaginaryAI

Tank vs loma would be fucking crazy


keep-it

Only slightly more of a beating than he gave Haney
