Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Will Head To 135 if No Good Fights Come Up at 130

[Feint First]

Even if Lomo fought and beat Leo Santa Cruz, that would be the biggest win of his career for Christ's sake. And LSC is not even that special. That tells you all you need to know right there.

It might be the best we can hope for. It's not looking too likely he'll ever dare to be great and test himself against real competition capable of beating him. At this point, chances are slim to none he'll grow a pair and face Rigo, Valdez, Davis, Berchelt, Corrales, Mikey, Linares, Easter Jr., Crawford.

If he fights any of those guys then id be more than satisfied(no ****),I just want him to stop talking & dare to be great,but these analyst need to stop with the hypetrain,

Loma should be embarrassed to be hyped so much undeservedly just because he barely has any fights & is fighting the quality fighters on occasion that he wouldve been if he was pro at a younger age. Thats all he's doing is fighting the same fighters he should've been by 29 anyways,it just seems deceptively more impressive than it is because nobodies used to fighters starting old & fighting good opponents right away.

I've been impressed with Lomachenko with his wins over GRJ and Nicholas Walters (tho he had a long layoff). I would like to see him fight Rigo before he moves to 135. I got a feeling 135 would be too much for Lomachenko. I can't say Loma is ducking just yet because of his resume but he makes anymore peculiar moves it might change my mind.... Oh yea i wish he would rematch Gary Russell Jr. I know its not a popular fight but its one i would like to see again.

It's crazy how tank is getting a pass for shamelessly ducking lomachenko lol

[HandsofIron]

Loma's hit list should consist of the Berchelt-Miura winner or the Corrales-Castellanos winner and a Salido rematch to erase that blemish. If he can't get those then he should move up to lightweight.

Loma is moving to 135, now I need Pacquiao to go to 135, and then we have a mega-fight! Let's go!

[Squ□redCircle34]

Loma made big mistake signing with Top Rank!

Now he's screwed and will be stuck fighting midgets and used car salesmen!

To get respect soon he'll have no choice but to go to 140!

Beating Linares or Flanagan/Verdejo winner wont be enough!

Easter Jr won't happen since Arum barely have his fighters face Haymon's!

His only hope is Mikey now that he don't want none of RigoSensei!

Only for so long you hide!

[tokon]

That's exactly what he should do. If the opponents there don't want to fight either by ignoring him or by pricing themselves out then move up. He can start by fighting tough journeyman Ray Beltran who I know will fight anyone and not out price himself. If he wins that then target one of the belts and if they don't want to fight then they get stripped.

Good plan, Loma just needs to do it instead of talking about it.

Fight valdez and berchelt and coralles you cherrypicker!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's a cherry picker who fought for a world title in his second pro fight. GTFOH with that ignorant BS. You talk more trash than Trump. Are you planning on running for office?
Have you ever made a comment that wasn't totally unsubstantiated and has absolutely no evidence or factual information to back it up?

You aren't really that ****** are you? There are a ton of challenges at 135 which is a thriving division right now. You think Loma is going to duck the title holders at 135 if and when he moves up? His reason for a possible move up to 135 is to get better fights with the top ranked boxers in that weight class because he's being ducked at 130. Why in any half sensible world would Loma need to move up to 140?? He only recently moved to 130 and now all of a sudden he needs to jump 2 weight classes to satisfy ignorant, bias, whiny fans like yourself?
Just by mentioning a need to move up to 140 to be legit when he's currently at 130 proves that it doesn't matter what Loma achieves, it will never be enough for blatantly bias fans like yourself.
