    Loma v Rodriguez is cool?

    So we all gonna act like this fight ain't happening? LSC gets crucified for his opponents as do several other guys on here and rightfully so but what about the great Ukrainian hope?

    Shall we compare their last 3 opponents?

    LSC is being criticised because he is consistently fighting ****, while at the same time calling himself World Champion, and calling out fellow champions.

    Lomachenko is just starting out his career and has already fought Salido and GRjr.

      Russel was a prospect.

      Salido was a good puncher who was fading and he beat Loma anyway. So...?

        The point is he has fought genuine threats in first five fights, why does it matter if he's lost?

        LSC has been fighting crap opponents for a while now. For the record i dont really like the Rodriguez fight, especially as its on the MayvsPac card, but im willing to give him a pass as im sure he will fight good fighters again soon. If his next fights are against bums i think we should start being critical.

        LSC would have gotten a pass if he had shown any interest in fighting the best fighters at 122lb and if he wasnt coming off fighting complete non-threats for the past year already.

        Both are terrible fights as support for the fight of the century

          Highest rated challenger by the WBO at 126. WTF do you want?
          LSC will stink the joint out and then tell everyone how much he really wants to fight Mares, Rigo, Frampton, Quigg, blah blah blah.

            Rodriguez is WBO #1, while LSC is fighting someone that isn't ranked top #15 in any sanctioning body.

                Once you're a World Champ that shouldn't matter if he wanted to be a normal prospect he shouldn't have got bob to bribe the WBO to give him a high ranking.

                  it's a bit disappointing to see his momentum stall so significantly after he got his title. someone like gradovich would have been a good opponent, and it has the added element of russia vs. ukraine which is surely a hot rivalry at the moment.

                    Look at the WBO rankings
