Big win Loma, Vianello at first.

Virgin Hotel, Las Vegas; great shows, great and clear victory of Loma on a great fighter as Nakatami able to resist twelve rounds to the phenomenon Lopez.

Lomachenko has used all his experience, impressive footwork to return and put back the shots and take away the distance to the long Japanese. At the short distance, shots taken and dictated by an experience that has no equal, and a result that we would not have believed, we would have thought of a hard-earned victory on points, but Hi Tech, has denied us, reminding us that he can take the shots from unthinkable angles, and especially at short distance in the clinch, has made a difference. So total control of the match, work of return after the few blows of Nakatani, or advance really from video-game, for the choice of time and precision; at the fifth the first kd for the Japanese boxer who however recovers, but does not leave well to hope. From the sixth onwards it is a crescendo for Loma that puts series, combinations, match that in some phases seemed to the limit of fairness for the use of the head and for some shots, but all to establish a supremacy within the square. At the ninth the epilogue, a series of blows arrive in the face of the Japanese, who could have put a foot on the ground and be counted, and try to proceed, but no, stoic resistance, but the blows of Loma continue to arrive until the referee does not intervene to close and safeguard the health of the boy now exhausted. Great match, great timing, great work of tactics by Loma and great victory, our Nakatani was not able to do that work of combinations and blows, the right hands were very few, accomplice the speed and the movements of Loma and a tactic and a preparation for the match not the best, but what to say in front of a man in this form, with this determination and solidity there was little to do; we repeat with another game plan would have been certainly more exciting the show, but Loma was perhaps able to disarm even the game plan of Nakatani, the show was beautiful, and not incredible as we expected. As said Loma dismantled the Japanese team’s plans imposing an extraordinary superiority, a more aggressive attitude, with a speed of blows, by Nakatani could have given other taste to the match, but Loma directed the match very well and overcame.

In the underclou we saw again after some time the young Guido who got rid of a certain Marlon Williams in the first round, after three landings the referee decided to suspend the unequal fight. Good luck to our boy that we know if guided well, could and we hope will reach the top ten of the heavyweights that is full of phenomena.
