Accompanied by coach Samuel Gmez, assistant Alejandro Galindo and manager scar Maldonado, Marriaga said he was grateful for the opportunity given to him by Top Rank and Lomachenko, and he does not intend to miss it after fall short in his title fights against Nicholas Walters and Oscar Valdez.

marriaga is tough 2 world title chances against a walters that was much bigger than him on fight night and against a very talented but still green oscar valdez he came close on several occasions to beating valdez he was actually having his best rd when he got caught and went down but continued fighting tough he might be outclassed by loma but i dont think hes the type to just give up and he has a very decent punch above average power it always seemed he was a little to forced to make 126 very skinny very marked muscles maybe the extra weight could give him xtra pop and xtra strtength to at least make it interesting because we still havent seen loma get hit square and solidly by a puncher although he fought walters a definite puncher he never got tested i think he will get chgin cecked here not saying marriagawill win but a different weight class might help his confidense when he doesnt have to kill himself to make weight and actually makes it very confrontly i got loma by ud but i see it as lomas toughest fight yet since the salido lesso in his second fight lets see what marriaga can do with salidos leftovers jajajajaja.

Got to give Marriaga huge credit for taking this!

The man is incredibly tough but I expect Lomachengo to stop him either by corner stoppage or the ref will save him!

Loma is taking his frustration out on the wrong fighter, needs to stop hiding behind Bob and face RigoSensei!

Joke fight. Lomo needs to move to 135 if there are no relevant skilled 130 pounders willing to fight him. He could have made a fight with Ray Beltran at 135 to test the waters.

I disagree, I wish Lomo was still fighting at 126 where he's probably the more efficient and where you have LSC, Frampton, Abner, Quigg, Valdes.

That's 5 bad ass fights.

Then at 130 Berchelt, Davis, Corrales, Vargas and a Salidoe rematch are 5 others bad ass fights.

Plenty of work around this division, Lomo could build a solid legacy here, those are the most competitive divisions in boxing.

135 would be interesting because Lomo would be small there.

I hope so to teach that cherry picker a lesson and end this great white hype nonsense.
