    Lomachenko to move to 130 lbs?

    If Klimas' translation is accurate, Lomachenko basically said that if nothing changes at 126 lbs, he has to move to 130 lbs because he cannot get the other titleholders at 126 lbs in the ring with him. Fast forward to 3:24.


    Shame we don't get to see the Rigondeaux fight, but if Rigondeaux prices himself out, nothing to be done about it.

    Yep its accurate, he wants to unify the division but that's not gonna happy when everyone is with Haymon.

      If he can't get the fights he wants, then he should move up to 130. Pedraza is with Haymon I believe but he could face Miura, Vargas, Rocky Martinez. That's better than calling out bantamweights.

        There are more fights at where he is at, I don't think he should move up yet but he is already a champion so whatever really.

          His resume looks ugly with that loss to Salido. He should really try to avenge it. But Walters would obviously be the best win for him.

              With or without a ****** belt, he knows who the best at 126 is, and he wants to part of it neither at 126 nor at 130 and his manager clearly said that, so it's like whatever to me.

                Walters hands down. It's easy to make and it's what the fans want to see. Get it done before one guy loses or outgrows 130.

                    If you don't fight Walters, you have not done much! Donaire had giant nuts to give it his best shot! Loma needs to get in there and put in his work! Win lose or draw!

                    As fans, boxing fans, we want to see the best fight the best. No catch weights, nothing! If you think you are too small, then don't move up a single pound and expect anyone to come down in weight to face you! There are already too many weight divisions, compared to when Robinson fought! Never asked for a catch weight! He would whip you if you out weighed him by 15 to 20 lbs! Where are these guys now? Not mass media hype jobs!
