Mikey is obviously the naturally bigger guy but Loma has the type of gifts that Pacquiao had in terms of speed, movement and punch combos. That should see him past the post against the robotic mIkey.
It's a terrific fight and one that should be made sooner rather than later.
Not big enough of a size difference to matter. Loma would school Mikey and have him swinging for air all night while eating shots left and right. Loma by UD or late TKO.
I've said it in another thread, Loma could still make 126. His arms are so much smaller than Mikey's arms. Loma is definitely smaller, but its not a huge difference. Mikey is probably around 145 there. That fight should take place at 135.
It's about avoidance. Loma fights the best guy out there for him.
No, loma fights the bums arum puts in front of him...i bet you arum wont put him in with rigondeaux

Thought's?
Mikey's peak run will be at 140lbs, while Lomachenko will peak run at 135lbs.
Neither guy is a giant, but it's clear that Mikey is a bigger man than Loma, who is subsequently a bigger man than Rigondeax.
That photo op and video of them meeting each other has got me more hype than ever for this great match up!
Both guys want the fight bad and they know its a tough one but still want to test their mettle and belief that they are the better fighter!
Loma should move up to 135 after the Marriaga fight and face Beltran then grab a hold of a belt while Mikey tries to fight someone like Easter to get his belt!
Imagine Mikey with the WBC/IBF while Loma has the WBO or WBA/Ring belt for a unification at 135, now that would be an even bigger fight!
Size difference isn't even that much. Mikey just fought at 140 and probably has put some pounds on as to where Loma is about to fight at 130 in a few days.
Apart from a much bigger head I don't see much difference.
Damn right! Not just a big head, but quite a fuggin hairline! Dudes hair touches his eyebrows.
Mikey for sure has broader shoulders, he is a little wider.
This fight is happening, these guys have been calling each other out, making an appearance together. 100% they trying to build this fight...
Expect more headlines, potential tensions down the road etc to sell the fight.
Mikey might be 5 to 7 pounds bigger when both are in lean shape. I think it's a close fight at 135. I give Loma a slight edge to win on points. Mikey would probably be the one most likely to win by KO.
