Lomachenko OUTCLASSES Chico, Landing @ Will In Route to a Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide Ass UD or Late Stoppage... The Angles and Footwork are All WRONG for a Plodding Slugger Like Chico, Who was Also a BIG ASS Target... REED
I think so as well but Lomachenko could be vulnerable wanting an action style fight against an opponent who can shorten his punches and put so much power behind them.
Corrales will give it everything but I just can't see how he wins barring an absolute fluke shot, Lomachenko's defence in the pocket is crazy.
I'm not sure Loma wins this, and if he does, I don't think it would be easy. Loma like to go on the inside, and this is Corrales world. Walter at a certain moment of their fight had a bit of success going to the body against Loma, and Corrales was a terrific body puncher
Whilst I don't necessarily disagree, the difference is when Loma gets inside he's always looking to get control of head position and pin the opponent's guard so that they can't return fire, that's even before he starts pivoting out to the side. The height of Corrales might make this tricky, although Corrales never fought tall, but if he can get these things working then Chico is kinda screwed unless he can land something fluky.
Chico had a hell of a left uppercut, especially when he followed it by a left hook. I could see it doing wonders against Loma
I think infighting would be the key to beating a guy like Loma and Corrales could wack with those short uppercuts and hooks as JOM pointed out. Loma is a better fighter, make no mistake. But he would have to be close to perfect to win this one. And he is capable of that.
