[Boxing- USA] 11.12/ 23:00 V.Lomachenko- R.Commey

Vasiliy Lomachenko is the sort of fighter who inspires people to believe he’s the best fighter in his division even if he loses a fight. “Well, his shoulder,” or “Well, he won the second half clearly so if it had been 15 rounds,” blah blah blah. I think Lomachenko is a master boxer, but he is at times too confident for his own good. Whatever else was wrong or happened against Teofimo Lopez, he simply lost too much of that fight by not doing anything. Call it whatever you want, blame whatever you want, he lost, and Lopez losing to George Kambosos Jr doesn’t make that result any less legitimate than it was.

He looked like an angrier Loma against Masayoshi Nakatani, and we might see a similar sort of fight here, but Commey has the sincere power shots that Nakatani doesn’t really bring to the table; the Japanese fighter has a pretty good stoppage percentage and all, but if you’ve seen them fight, I think it’s hard to say Commey doesn’t pack the better one-punch power.

Commey is also tough as nails and will be there trying to win this fight. I can see Lomachenko stopping him if he picks him apart and is really on his game, but I’m going to take the distance here, maybe in part just because I have a deep admiration for Commey, a standout contender for years now and about as nice a guy as there is in boxing.
