Lomachenko,Molina, 11th June

Andre 3000

Other than the Loma fight, Provodnikov and John Molina is on tonight lads, should be a cracker. Both lads seem to be a bit faded in recent times but should be an all out slug fest. Potenital FOTY. That's on the same card as Dejan Zlaticanin, a guy I rate very highly in a pretty bleak Lightweight division. Demetrius Andrade is the main event there. Felix Verdejo is on the Loma undercard too.

Provodnikov on Showtime and Lomanchecko on HBO now! Choices choices.

Sticking with the former as Provodnikov never disappoints.

Lots of punches so far after 2 rounds

SHOVELLER

Lomachenko ko in 5

Great fight. Halfway through and the output is astonishing. Up close they are leaning into each other and landing bombs.

Otherwise Molina is picking him off but Provodnikov is as usual just coming forward and his face resembles a balloon.

Molina gained 20 pounds from the weigh in.

I have it even so far.

SHOVELLER

Absorbing toe to toe battle. Interestingly Provodnikov changed tactics in the 10th and 11th where he stayed out of range and started boxing! Jabs were effective and he won those rounds.

Punch output from Molina was almost 1100!

UD for Molina. I thought it was closer than that but same old same old from Provodnikov. Comes for war and gets picked off and not much defense. But he admitted Molina won fair and square and questioned his own hunger

As an aside Lomachenko dedicated his win to "The greatest fighter to lace gloves"

That was my first time watching Loma. Seriously impressive. And against a decent fighter aswell. His footwork was beautiful. Slipping shots and setting shots up. Ill be watching all his fights from now on

Sensational knockout by Loma last night. Superb performance.

That was just way too easy for Loma. Martinez had nothing to offer.

Who does Loma fight? It's clear that Rigo hasn't the balls to test himself at 126, and is happy to fighting nothing fights at 122. Walters is MIA. Due to fight soon? But where does that lead?

Arum did say that Walters priced himself out of a June match with Loma, looking for 1 million. Three times his highest payday!

I'd love to see him fight Jezreel Corrales, a really slick fighter. Absolutely destroyed Uchiyama recently.

Russell fight was excellent, and Russell was barking about a rematch. Super KO, but let's be real, Loma himself must even be shocked at how weak Rocky was.

Mikey Garcia perhaps. He is supposed to be back fighting again soon. Maybe at 135.

I think Loma would make mince meat of him. Much too fast.

Loma is an extraordinary talent. Beautiful in every area.
