He just outboxed Aldo and claim he has only beening study the great boxer of Loma and Loma'd Aldo down and that he looks for to more of the same for the new wave of UFC fighers
 
That UFC card was one of the best cards I've ever seen. Much better than tonights HBO
 
Holloway didn't admit that boxing is superior, if we're being honest. He just paid homage to Lomachenko by stating that he studied a lot of tape on him. Both have good workrates and Holloway has always been a volume striker (with solid power) with good takedown defense, cardio, creativity, lateral movement and durability.

After the fight, Holloway gave credit to boxer Vasyl Lomachenko for the inspiration, per MMA Fighting:

This is getting "Lomachenko'ed"

It was bound to happen anyway, once people learned how to counter the jujitsu and judo, arm and joint locks chokes and learned simple take-down defenses they would have to box and kick, you can't wrestle anybody who can defend it and no fighter wants to be rolling around for 15 min or 25 min not doing anything wasting energy getting exhausted or getting ground and pounded for a round because the fighter on the bottom will just grab and hold down the fighter in the mount until the ref stands them up and they will have to use Boxing and kicking against each other anyway.

You have to be an expert in striking boxing and kicking more then ever inside the Octagon, your boxing counter punching, defense and kicking better be at a higher level than everyone else and you better have real skills to compete in the knew MMA / UFC nowadays, because these fighters can box for real now . Not like before when they would be falling down because of terrible balance after throwing a simple punch.

Now the ladies are even catching up with their Kicking and boxing to, they even look better and are getting better, but some still have terrible balance and are not using their hips properly and not turning their hands over, Ronda was terrible at this.

I know on the Ultimate fighter final on Friday there were more Arm-Bars wins then in anytime in one night of the UFC, but once these knew ladies in the UFC learns how to counter them and stop them, they will be boxing and kicking most of the fight, just like it happened in the Ultimate fighter final ladies championship fight, if any of you saw the fights Friday they were good fights.

Talking about terrible balance Roxanne Modaferri has terrible balance she's almost falling down tripping over her own feet. and even when she's kicking her balance is real bad.

Their trainers better start teaching theses fighters how to block punches and high kicking and they need to learn how to check leg kicks, like tonight all Aldo had to do was block those flurrys of punches, instead of moving his head all the time, he could of used his hands, elbows, forearms and shoulders to block that punching assault Max was doing until Max got fatigued and had to rest, then Aldo could start his attack with his punches and kicking. Aldo could of even started hitting Max on the shoulders and biceps to stop his flurry's of non stop punches. By weakening Max"s arms and then going on the attack.
 
That's good to see Lomachenko paying his respects to TJ. I suspect TJ got a lot more out of their sparring together than the other way around.
TJ probably offered Lomachenko a wrestling seminar for a fee and Lom declined
 
tj a fuken stud. after being kd and badly hurt by a garbrandt right hand steps right back into the pocket in hthe next round and connects with a counter right to ktfo cody

He said that?
 
I was actually impressed with the improvement in Aldo's boxing
 
in case he wants to expand his overall knowledge and maybe cross over a money fight vs MM
Lomachenko did quite a bit of grappling as a youngster, he already knows how to grapple.
