Loma seems more vulnerable at these higher weights. The bigger guys & weight he carries wear him down more. This is the 1st time I remember seeing him react so much to various shots….upstairs, downstairs. Even noticeably taking rounds off. Interesting to see how things play in his career going fwd. I wouldn’t be surprised if he retires in another 3 yrs or so.
Great fight, one of the most entertaining in recent years from Loma. Campbell did a great job, the scorecards don’t reflect the even this fight was, looking forward to see more of him. Loma won many rounds by an inch.
Dear Host,
Could you be so kind to provide the video again.
Thank you
new videos posted;-)
Thank you very much for your fast reply and excellent assistance
Very technical and strategic fight between these Olympic boxers. However, Loma was much superior in spite of being the shorter boxer because he is more precise, an excellent counter puncher, with an unbeatable jab and master moves. He was the full time aggressor dominating the fight from the second round till the very end. Campbell aspirations to win the fight diminished a bit more every after a new round began. Three starts would fix better the development and result of this fight. In my opinion, Andres’s card was totally out of reality.
