Former three-division world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs) scored a one-sided twelve round unanimous decision over former world champion Richard Commey (30-4, 27 KOs) in a lightweight bout on Saturday night before 8,555 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Loma took apart Commey, dropping him hard in round seven. Commey barely survived the round. Loma outboxed Commey the rest of the way to win 117-110, 119-108, 119-108.
Lomachenko has outstanding footwork…..
brilliant. all the other lightweights just retired.
think of the difference between tank and loma in terms of boxing knowledge…2x gold medalist vs 2 gold toofs specialist…
What did that do for him against Lopez, not a damn thing.
Lopez hit him with forty seven low blows, Loma needed surgery and it was still a very close fight. Loma would dominate Teo in a rematch.
Loma beat a tomato can big whoop. Obnoxious fans. Make excuses when he gets his azz kicked and when he beats another set up can you act like he knocked out Muhammad Ali. Just pathetic
I like Commey, I think he’s really good, so this was a very good performance by Loma imo.
Loma IMO will take over this division before he retires.
117 to 110 W T F!
Anyone else see Tyson fury coked up when they interviewed him? Unfortunately he is his own enemy, it was sad because he is very talented .
Fury wasn’t coked up, stupid people say stupid things.
Yeah he was, even had the cotton mouth and the water bottle of water. Go back to when he was being interviewed, look at his jaw, mouth and the facial movements. He was having a good time lol.
I’m not sure if it’s coke, but he’s definitely on something. His eyes were like saucers during a recent interview with Michelle Joy Phelps. He might have upped his meds.
I said exactly the same thing , and Tim Bradley did’nt look too impressed and the others did’nt look comfortable either when he was talking
Definitely very high..what is weird js that he has such a coke problem that he couldn’t just do a little prior to interview and entering ring ..total lock jaw..grabbed nose 4 times in the ring ..obvious he did too much between singing and interview..Bradley was uncomfortable. The lock jaw was blatant ..100% cocaine fact
As expected, Loma displayed outstanding skills, offensively and defensively. Now, will Loma fight Haney next or will Loma fight Kambosos in Australia??
Based on Loma’s outstanding display tonight, I say let him fight Kambosos in Australia. Maybe Davis and Haney should fight each other, and the winner fights the Loma/Kambosos winner. Lopez will probably go to 140.
I am not sure who wants to deal with Isaac Cruz’s Pitbull bite. Maybe Romero will gather the nerves to deal with Cruz for 12 rounds.
Cruz – William Zepeda
If Loma hadn’t reinjured his shoulder before the
Lopez fight, he would have won a wide decision.
Loma is p4p #2 behind Inoue. He’s so good that he
can dominate these much bigger fighters without
stipulations or short notice fights. That’s what actual ATG’s do.
Always excuses excuses excuses with u fanboys
very ordinary looking performance by lomachenko against a very crude and made-to-order commey. commey lacks footwork, has bad balance, slow, defensively porous. but he still took advantage of lomachenko’s glaring weaknesses. lomachenko is done as a top lw. he will get embarrassed against haney. tank will crush him. lomachenko will struggle with kambosos. i think isaac cruz stops lomachenko too.
The same “glaring weaknesses” that made three consecutive opponents quit on their stools — two of which were world champions, and one a former 2x Olympic gold medalist? Yeah, he needed to completely revamp his fighting stye in order to correct those “GLARING weaknesses.” (LOL)
Kambosos Jr in 2!
Kambosos jr will have him for lunch.
Lomachenko is a great ambassador for the sport. He’s a great fighter, supremely skilled, supremely prepared, humble, respectful, full of character, not prone to hype. So refreshing to see in this age of loudmouth, hip-hop street-talking ignoramuses like Lopez. I’m a huge fan. Great, masterful win for him in this fight against a rugged, taller opponent.
It is indeed refreshing to see the combination of such immense talent mingled with nearly the same level of character.
He sort of reminds me of a prime Roy Jones Junior: — who mainly just toyed with the most dangerous of his opponents. (lol)
When a fighter possesses character, along with superior talent, it seems (to me) that the confidence he has in his abilities is always tempered with a genuine sense of humility. When this is the case, the fighter never disparages his opponents, but speaks respectfully of the abilities that he sees in them.
Rocky Marciano — one of the greats of the past, was possessed with so much confidence that he believed that he simply couldn’t be defeated. And yet, he always spoke of his opponents with the utmost respect and acknowledgement — and some of his (BHF) opponents put up tremendous efforts against him in defeat.
Joe Louis, in my opinion, the greatest heavyweight champion in history, was also supremely confident in his abilities and, yet, didn’t trash-talk his opponents, but gave them the respect they deserved for even facing him in the ring.
So yes indeed, that Lomachenko will end up in the BHF is an intense certainty. For one, he’s considered (hands down) the greatest amateur boxer in history. One loss against nearly 400 wins. As for his greatness as a pro, he’s already proven it, and his losses mean little, as the greats sometimes lose fights. And, consistent with his amazing skill level is his humbleness of character. — just like the other greats in this rugged sport.
Vintage loma , on his way to getting his belts back . All the other 135 pounders still have to prove themselves.
Not taking anything away from Loma he’s a great and highly skilled fighter but beating Commey proves nothing. Commey’s best win on his resume is against Ray Beltran who was basically a journeyman, people can say what they want but unless these guys fight each other we’ll never know who’s the best.
A solid performance by Loma. Commey showed heart and really tried everything in his power, eventhough he must have been frustrated at times. Respect!
Loma is outstanding. But is the Light weight Lomas natural weight? I don’t know, at least Loma is not yet fully adjusted to the weight, I think, still he’s a true challenge to anyone.
To be the long-standing king in the Light weight today might be almost an impossible task. A fully recoverd and adapted to the weight Loma might be the one to reign. Or is Kambosos Jnr the one? A grown up Lopez? Or an improved in skills Tank? Or is it a matured Ryan Garcia?
Loma is not yet fully adapted in the lightweight, in my view, and also has a loss in the back of the head that disturbs far in there.
You can not question Kambosos Jnr’s iron will and mental power. It is the mental part that I think will be decisive in the long run if the two fight each other. Today, Kambosos Jrn has the advantage.
So if I was in Kambosos Jnr’s team I would call out Loma today. Better now than later.
Loma does not know how to hurry slowly so he will take the fight. It may not be so wise. But it’s also one of the reasons why you can not help but love Loma.
Finally, there are so many fights that must be done in the Light weight. What a wasp’s nest.
Outstanding performance by Loma, and a lot of potential match ups that I believe he will win everyone of them.
I do believed that Lomo was only fighting at 85% against Lopez. But that’s boxing ! Sometimes the cards fall against you.
Last night he looked more like the vintage Lomo. And I believe he and George will meet in Australia. Bob Arum will make it happen in 2022.
135 isn’t Lomo”s weight class. But he knows that. He will always be facing bigger men with reach advantages. And yet he finds a way
I hate to say this after the fight, but I said it before too, just not on here; Richard Comey was made to order for Lomanchenko to showcase. Comey is pretty much a straight forward fighter who relies on his big right hand. If you understand the science of boxing, which most of us on here do, you knew exactly how this fight was going to turn out- Loma using footwork, angles, and superior timing to completely outclass Comey. After the 8th round, one of the commentaters, either Ward or Bradley, said they had never seen a fighter encourage the corner of his opponent to stop the fight. Larry Holmes did that on a few occasions during his reign as champion. Once against Marvis Frazier. After each flurry in what I believe was the 3rd round, he would like toward the ref and Joe Frazier (Marvis’ tainer/dad) to stop the fight.They didn’t and he proceeded to pummel Marvis. Lomas’ actions reminded me of that at the time.
The performance was sweet. The one 117 to 111 was not. Commey’s strength and relentless effort vs a top notch Vasiliy. In the last month we just got to watch 7 of the top 10 RING ranked 135lbs go at it (+ Tank ranked at 140). That was what I was looking for. Commey is a excellant fighter and would stay in the mix in a average era/weight class but Lightweight ain’t that.
Meh Lopez starched Commey. Loma is ok but not on the same power level as Teofimo.
Some crazy people on here. Commey just ko’d in 2 a few fights back and another typical Top Rank fight for their fighter. Loma still good but nothing special.
I am sorry to say that Tyson Fury was for sure high on cocaine. I have never and will never use that sh.. but I am from Miami and have been around a lot of people high on cocaine. I can tell when someone is using on it. It’s extremely sad but it’s true. I am a big fan of him and wish him the best because he is not only a great boxer he also seems to be a good person too. But for sure he hasn’t over come such a destructive habit.
Big deal, he beat up a guy who has a history of losing his biggest fight. Whoopdy doo.
Commey won every round.
tank will never get in the ring with loma he will make tank look bad he wants low level competition on ppv loma is a top ten fighter tank is around grade b he did not look that good against cruz
At 84 I’ve seen a tremendous number of fights but none can match the hit but not get hit performance of Loma. Other great defensive fighters could slip and slide, taking punches on arms, shoulders etc. but this guy made a world class fighter hit only air an incredible number of times. I’m always inclined to say the oldtimers were better but not in this case.
