Comments Thread For: Jose Pedraza Plans To Target Vasyl Lomachenko if He Wins

[bulldognyc]

Really like the division and I'm big on Pedraza. Idk why he won't go after Fortuna. The more belts you have the more respect you command at the negotiations table. I like the sounds of him vs Lomachenko.

...it's Pedraza's weak-ass promoters for one, and he may be too jibaro or bobo in accepting crumbs while Verdejo is getting paid the big bucks...just a couple of months ago before his last fight, he was just sitting around waiting for a fight, and it's not because no one will fight him, it's the demands and purses his greedy promoters want...Mira, Pedraza will beat Martinez and Verdejo, but you know the mentality here...el patriotismo, el ay bendito, etc, etc...if he wants to unify and be huge, he got to fight another puertorro...Its all about getting paid, making big money for him and his family...look at Cotto, it's all about him and his family...nothing wrong with that!

He should fight another bori. But if not then go after Fortuna. I think he's Haymon too. Cotto beat the piss out of Carlos Quintana. I like sniper a lot. But if he wants more attention the guy needs to fight more often. I've always felt that top rank is the best place for Puerto Rican fighters. Arum really knows how to develop them.

I would love to see that fight.
Pedraza shouldn't be against fighting Fortuna nor Verdejo though. Verdejo could be a big fight for him in the future, so why not take it?
It seems like Puerto Ricans are against fighting each other, but Pedraza would be letting a money fight go. I doubt Verdejo and Pedraza are that close anyway, so what would stop it? It's his decision though, it would be a big opportunity for him.
He could sell a Verdejo fight by playing the villain. It will probably be difficult for him, but why not try?

I wonder if Verdejo will try to get a title shot at 130. It may be the most difficult weight to win a championship in. I'll give Verdejo a lot of respect if he tries to.

I can't wait to see Pedraza back. I think they said they're looking at July or August. I wouldn't mind another Russell and Pedraza double header.

That another PBC guy Loma can fight now that Arum and Haymon working together...

Loma first need to take care of business and win the WBO thenFortuna (WBA) or Pedraza (IBF) could be made on PBC tv

Martinez and Pedraza are PR's only champions but they won't fight each other or against Verdejo for fear of losing the title, and because if they do fight Verdejo, he'll make a lot more money than them...bendito...

I can't say I'm a big fan of hometown show downs most of the time. All you get is a big fish in a small pond, sucking up all the resources and the rest of the world still doubts the talent. Verdejo is sucking up the PR resources and honestly, I wouldn't mind the Sniper taxing him for some of that easy money.

How is Pedraza a weak champion??? He will beat the other champions if they ever accept to fight him. We can bet some points if u want.

He is just another hater criticizing his own people like any other hater.
