Just saw the fight again. (Sober)

Incredibly impressed with Linares, especially with his combos, speed and fighting undaunted ...

Damn good fight

Do you think this was a dive?

Lomachenko is an exceptional athlete. He has extremely fast feet and hands and great stamina. I wouldn't put him on the same level as Manny and his frame might not be as advantageous as Floyd's relative to weight, but you can argue he is the most spectacular athlete of any active fighter.

I think he's the kind of athlete you knew who would be very good at a lot of sports. Pingpong to Basketball. But he doesn't have unique, freaky athletic gifts. He's just really well rounded athletically.
