I don't know, guys. Kind of hard for me to poo poo that performance from Loma. Marriaga isn't a great fighter or close to it, but he's no can, either. Loma absolutely demolished him and was showing basically 0 respect once he knew Marriaga had nothing left for him, even got a bit of a shiner iirc b/c he was getting so aggressive.
Wins over Rocky Martinez, Garry Russell (one of my favorite fighters rn), Walters, Jason Sosa. All these guys are pretty solid fighters, Russell is a very good fighter imo, Walters no pushover either. Marriaga gave Valdez a tough fight recently, Sosa beat Fortun, these guys aren't low level fighters. I'm no Loma hugger but at the same time it's getting to the point where it's difficult for me to criticize Loma for much.
If he doesn't start stepping it up against the top dogs around the weight class soon, then Ill get on him for it. This was a free fight on a popular network against a decent opponent, and Loma fucking bodied him like he was a nobody off the street. I'll be looking for him to step it up soon, but I'm not gonna lie, this dude is pretty special, imo.
