The typically anti-white (((Max Kellerman))) said on the post fight analysis that Lomo is his favorite boxer to watch at the moment. He complimented how he is the rare blend of athletism, skill and risk taker willing to finish fights. I was shocked to hear such flattering words from the loathsome prick.

But during the fight, Kellerman was discrediting him for a lack of power.

About a second after Kellerman said Loma can't score exciting KOs, Loma KOs Martinez!

The best compliment I can think of is Loma is Willie Pep with a punch or a more aggressive Pernell Whitaker. He made the aggressive Quadroon look like a limited ESPN level opponent. He may start having problems getting opponents to fight him like GGG does. When you sign to fight Loma you are essentially selling your title to him....

Obviously, Loma is the world class fighter. He made a white Puerto Rican fighter in super condition quit. However, I still believe GGG based on his competition is the No. 1 PFP fighter. But, Lomachenko is fast on the footsteps of the epic GGG. A fight between Mike Garcia or Terrace Crawford will be mouth watering. No one at 130 lbs can compete with Loma.

I don't know about him fighting Crawford. Loma is the better fighter but Crawford has a huge reach and strength advantage. That fight could be a big problem for Lomo.

Yeah he shouldn't go straight for Crawford. Going from 130 to 140 is too much of a reach. He should go to 135 and clean out that division, and then after a couple years move up to 140.

He is truly a phenomenal fighter though. He is only 8-1 as a professional but when watching him he dominates opponents more thoroughly than Golovkin or Kovalev.

Just picked up a copy of Ring Magazine at the supermarket. I normally wouldn't buy it, but could not resist as Lomachenko is on the cover. They do a nice write up on him inside. I did not know he was trained in Sambo as a youth. There is also an article in there about Mayweather/McGregor where they liken the fight to past mixed fights such as Inoki/Ali.

The follow up ESPN fight to the Horn/Pac fight will feature Lomachenko. I believe it is August 5th so people like me will get a chance to watch it. In the back of my mind I have seen him fight at least once before but the big time boxers are difficult to follow if you don't sign up for pay TV or have a premium movie channel like Showtime or HBO.

I usually check boxrec.com a couple times per week. You can't watch any matches but you can look at the worldwide schedule for each day. At the very least you will know when a guy is fighting. Then you can look for a way to see a fight live or look for the YouTube vid the day after. This resource is really good for guys who are ones to watch but don't ever get talked about by the mainstream....fighters like Sean Monaghan for example.

Just a reminder this Saturday night (August 5) at 10:00 EST on ESPN Lomachenko headlines the boxing card. Some are saying he is the best pound for pound fighter today and this will be a HUGE showcase for him since it will reach a ton of households. Very important he comes through in flying colors. I will be watching and rooting for him. Lomachenko and Triple G are two guys that are important caste busters. I have not seen him fight for some time so this fight could tell us a lot.

Lomachenko is amazing. Every fight of his that I've seen he has completely dominated his opponent. If you haven't seen him before you should watch the fight on Saturday.

At the present, most who watch boxing regularly are shocked and stunned by just how skilled Loma is. He is the most studied boxer alive. This Saturday we may count on 1 hand the number of times his opponent connects to his head.

Loma should make quick and easy work of this guy Marriaga. The big fight for him will be Garcia in the next future at 135 lbs.

Looks like this card is actually on BSPN2, not BSPN.

Yeah the NFL HOF induction is on ESPN. Jerry Jones has been at the podium forever now. His speech is turning into a filibuster. Yikes what an ego on the guy.

His wife shared a story of Jerry at the carnival trying to win a stuffed bear for her but he kept failing to knock all the bottles down. So he disappears and comes back with a stuffed bear that he bought. She probably thought it was a heart warming little story but all I could think was yeah whatever rich bitch.

Glad I checked the other channels and found the fight.

So now the fight is back on BSPN as the main event is about to come on. Unfortunately Stephen Azz**** Smiff was on in the studio talking about Loma. Even though he was highly complimentary, I had to put it on mute. Just couldn't listen to him.

This black ESPN commentator is such a hater. And of course his P4P is two blacks, #1 is Ward the blatant nut puncher.
