    Garcia v Lomachenko is easy to make

    ...so let's make it happen. Loma has been complaining that no one at super feather wants to fight him and considering his height and build, he could easily make lightweight.

    Bow, theres been talk of Flanagan facing Loma, now the Brit has a fight scheduled for early April as does Loma, so theoretically, the 2 could face off against each other by September.

    What does Mikey do? Well lightweight is chock full of good fighters so he could fight a number of top 10 opponents, it's unlikely the Linares fight will happen considering GBP will not want it. Ideally, that would be perfect, because when Loma and Garcia do meet (both are TR so no problem there) they could easily be fighting for 3/4 belts.

    Time for fans to push for this one!

    Loma will attempt to try and become undisputed at the division but will fight Garcia if nothing came.

      Wait, I thought Garcia just spent TWO YEARS trying to get out of a contract with Top Rank, and it was finally granted recently?

      I read he's in fact a promotional free agent a few days ago, and that Golden Boy, and Schaefer were making "good offers."


      Did he go back to Top Rank or something in the last day or two??

        I thought Mikey split from Arum rather acrimoniously after a long legal battle ending last year. Did he re-sign with TR while I wasn't paying attention or something?

        FWIW I suspect both fighters would be willing, but I'm not quite sure Bob will be as keen.

            Lomachenko wants the best possible opponent every time out.

            The best opponent available is who he will fight, it's whether or not the other side want it.

              I don't think it's easy to make given Arum's history with Mikey.

                Garcia is NOT with TR although he said he's willing to fight anyone no matter what promoter they're with. Most promoters want options and **** when they make big fights, Garcia will not be going for any of that.

                    Loma undisputed at 130?

                    I'm not sure if that happens simply because there are too many problems trying to make all those fights.

                    Garcia made his come back with TR and apparently were in the process of signing a new contract. I'm not sure what happened with the Zlat fight.
