Lomachenko's come back

Lomachenko COULD have put a rematch clause in the contract when this fight was made. His side did not want one since they probably thought this would be an easy win. Big mistake for sure. Same mistake Golovkin made in the two fights with Canelo.

Huh? I'm not saying he can make the rematch, I'm saying he should have called for it. Using size as an excuse is nonsense. He fought at 132 lb as an amateur on multiple occasions and hasnt fought at super feather for 3 + years. You are all acting as if he just jumped weight to make this fight lol I didnt use size as an excuse. I said maybe Loma should revisit 130. FYI he fought at 32 bc be cleaned out the lighter am division . get your facts straight 1st next time

If Top Rank was smart they would pay Lopez extra millions to force a rematch. Not having a rematch clause with so much on the line was beyond stupid Yes! I don't think so. He will get the winner of that fight. A lot of good fights for Lomachenko still. His career is far from over. That makes sense but I don’t think Bob would put a 2 belt Mexican champ in with Loma coming off a loss in the 1st defense. I think he has a fight in between.

Agree with you on this unless Teo vacates the belts and goes up. You think he goes back to 130 and fights the Valdez/Berchelt loser 1st to set up a fight with the winner? I don't think so. He will get the winner of that fight. A lot of good fights for Lomachenko still. His career is far from over.

It's not up to Lomachenko if he gets the rematch or not. Lopez will have to give him a rematch and I don't see it happening. The kid is going to move up to 140 either in his next fight or the following fight and Lomachenko likely moves down to 130. Lomachenko can prove his greatness at 130 fighting some more young studs like Stevenson or a proven champ in Berchelt. Agree with you on this unless Teo vacates the belts and goes up.

He cant win a rematch Teo is too big and strong for Loma so there is no point in a rematch just another loss, he has to move down to 130 he is not big enough and has not enough pop at 135. He needs to revisit 130 imo. There are plenty of great fights to be made. Betcha Lopez moves to 140 asap. Using size as an excuse is nonsense.

Yes, that is quite alarming. Notice how Lennox Lewis immediately after his loss to Rahman stated 'My belts are on loan'. Exactly! Not to mention AJ and Whyte in recent times. Loma looked well and truly beaten.

Either fight Shakur or rematch Lopez but this time Lopez will be getting what Loma was getting (3 million plus) and vice versa.

A Loma rematch will be the most lucrative fight he can make. A move to 140 will not be so lucrative, there is no money there unless he can get Mikey down to 140. Even then, Mikey’s stock has dropped some, so I’m not sure if there is enough meat on the bone for each fighter to get paid what they want. How do you know there won't be a more lucrative fight? Will the Lomachenko rematch be on PPV or something? The kid is having trouble making 135, that has been known for a while. The move to 140 is coming within a year. Facing the winner of Ramirez/Taylor would be a very good fight.

Oh give me a damn break. Legacy will be tainted? Buddy, if Lomachenko's side wanted to force a rematch clause, they could have done exactly that. Definitely not a fight I would mind. If they run it back? Great! But that is not a bigger money fight than fighting Garcia or Tank next year. It will all be a moot point if he moves to 140 as many are predicting him to do.

As with all great fighters, they can lose and they must come back. If Lomachenko wants to be great, this is what he has to do. A bit curious why he didnt talk of a rematch instantly, heck look at how WHyte recently handled his defeat. I know Lopez afterward stated that there was no rematch clause but there doesnt have to be, this is now the biggest money fight in the division. That should be LOma's goal, if no immediate rematch then he isn't willing to risk everything for greatness. What say you? Yes, that is quite alarming. Notice how Lennox Lewis immediately after his loss to Rahman stated 'My belts are on loan'.

Lopez can run like a thief with this win and go to 140, but it will taint his legacy if he doesn’t offer a rematch. A rematch would be lucrative and if he wins he removes all doubt. There isn’t a bigger payday waiting for him at 140. He will end up regretting his refusal to rematch much like Canelo is now with GGG. He played hard to get and now DAZN can’t pay him is $36+ per fight because no one cares about Canelo fighting scrubs at 160/8. Oh give me a damn break. Legacy will be tainted?

130 he had a decent little run going up in weight his skills helped him bridge the gap but he hit a wall time to go back down and find a good challenge

Yup.......... 130 is where Lomachenko needs to go. Don't get me wrong, wouldn't mind one bit if he fights Haney or Garcia if he gets past Campbell, but there are more than enough challengers at 130. If he feels more comfortable at that weight class, then that's were he deserves to finish his career at.
