Lomas next move if you were his manger

"At 28, without real one-punch power, and English skills that are currently lacking, do you and the camp believe that Lomachenko can become a bankable draw?"


Ummm did you not watch the martinez fight? Lomachenko put him down with one punch. Since when have English skills ever mattered in terms of promoting a fighter lolol? It's not really a significant attribute and countless fighters prove this.

I'd say Vargas unification

[DoktorSleepless]

Salido, and Pacquioa before he retires.

[LetOutTheCage]

Avenge the Salido loss then fight Gamboa. Gamboa wouldn't be an easy fight and it would have the potential to be highly entertaining (more so than Loma vs Rigo imo). I dont see the Rigo fight happening anyway. Then move up and fight Linares for another hugely entertaining fight.

Uh, no...
"One punch" does not mean the last punch in a combo or series. It refers to finishing an otherwise stable looking fighter with a single shot. Martinez was getting broken down and ate 4 or 5 power shots in the seconds preceding his ko. I believe it was OH left, OH left, (which had him hurt and retreating) uppercut, right hook (in a combo). That's an accumulation of power shots. You don't count the last one and call it 1 punch. Come on people...

I think he's shown he's got some power though. He does tend to be light fisted, simply to keep his speed up. You can't have both max speed and power at once. It's physics. He's been keeping it light until he starts breaking his guy down, then starts sitting down on his punches and applying power. He's found a really great balance in that regard and the last two fights have been good examples.

Take Pacquaio fight at all costs. He'll never get another opportunity to fight someone of his caliber.

[Dip_Slide]

Salido rematch and it's not even close.

[Dip_Slide]

Make a poll Larry!

[g27region]

If pretty boy loma gets Salido rematch, and manages to beat Gamboa, Mikey Garcia and Pacquiao and moves up to defeat Crawford then nobody won't be able to question his greatness, even the most hateful, euro bums criticizing mother****er on the earth. Because nobody can question that he's ATG in amateur boxing already, it's time to prove his worth on pro boxing scene. Walters is done already, who's next in line

[Derranged]

Vargas

The Salido rematch means **** anymore as I stated in another thread. The rematch should had happened immediately if Lomachenko really wanted to prove something.

Bullcrap. For starters, immediate rematches usually occur in super fights and/or big name fights. That was Loma's second pro fight and he shouldn't have been fighting Salido anyway. I think Loma definitely needed some more fights and there's nothing wrong with that.

Second, they already tried to get a rematch but the terms could not be agreed on.

Your move, slick.
