    Lomachenko-Nakatani is way more intriguing than the PPV option

    Lomachenko is in his third weight class and it hasn’t been easy for him at all.

    He lost 3 rounds to Pedraza. The Linares fight was ultra competitive. He lost to Lopez.

    Lomachenko is fighting a difficult lightweight who’s in his prime. Nakatani is six inches taller than Lomachenko and has a six inch reach advantage.

    Its also worth noting that some cards had Nakatani giving Lopez more trouble than Lomachenko did (I don’t agree).

    This fight is way more compelling than watching Gervonta Davis move up five pounds to fight a guy who had to rob his way to a WBA regular title.

    I’ll thoroughly enjoy holding on to $70 while watching the more compelling card. Showtime will probably also show a replay next week.

    Good stuff, that's the fight you should watch then!

    Excited for it as well. Always nice to watch Lomachenko and Nakatani is warrior who won't stop bringing it. But Verdejo was beating him with ease, until he wasn't...I don't expect Lomachenko to get broken down like that.

    Lomachenko via wide UD.

      Verdejo’s reach is six inches longer than Lomachenko’s.

      Lomachenko should be at 126 and it’s going to catch up with him eventually.

        He should be at 126? Nah, he should be at where he is fighting at and what weight he can make period.

          I am going to enjoy all the fights on Saturday. I expect the fight between Loma and Nakatani will be closer and more intriguing than Tank/Barrios.

          Sucks jrock is hurt.

            im surprised lomachenko took this fight.
            i think he’s goin to find it really difficult to get inside of nakatani.
            nakatani has pretty good straight punches. this is also against a guy who gets stronger as the fight goes along. i have a feelin that lomachenko will try to be more aggressive earlier. that will either create his momentum or backfire terribly.

              Loma and Top Rank both want to make a re-match with Teo and he needs a quality win to justify it.

                i respect that he's coming back against Nakatani. This is no walk in the park. Now, I have lomachenko winning this fight, but it's not an easy fight for anyone.

                  I disagree. Loma is going to beat Nakatani easily because Nakatani is just a giant club fighter.

                    If Loma beas Nakatani in a much stronger fashion than Teo did, it will make good hype to force Teo to give Loma a rematch.
