Comments Thread For: Arum Optimistic About Staging Lomachenko-Stevenson Next Year: 'Both Guys Want That Fight'

[checko12]

What happened to the Loma and Haney fight?

[DebateObserver]

Great fight. Lomachenko is so easy to promote, he's like Pacquiao in a way that if Arum suggests it to him, he'll take it even if it's risky. I don't think Lomachenko has ever refused a fight suggested by Arum yet.

Haney vs Loma, Very interesting matchup for a 34 years old Loma. Could Haney be just young and crafty enough to keep Loma off of him for 12 rounds.

All these fights are risky for Loma in this particular division. That much was obvious when Linares knocked him down.

Name any big potential matchup with Loma, whether Haney, Tank, Lopez (again) or Stevenson as he grows, and I simply won’t be surprised at any potential outcomes on the night.

Come to think about it, some of these matchups (Shakur for example) would even be interesting vs a "prime" Loma.

Yeah, completely. Had him pegged as the best LW even with the size disparity, but you don’t know until he gets in with them. The guys in this division are ****ing good.

Don’t know what he’ll have left when he gets back, ofc, but I hope it’s somewhere near its best
