    Loma was just reaching for attention and I guess he got it.

    Really what use does Conor have for Loma as a sparring partner? He's left handed, fights nothing like Floyd, and is like 4-5 weight classes smaller than Mayweather.

      I don't care who he's talking to this specific time. I'm speaking in general this mfer needs to learn English, like any boxer with a US base of operations, & looking to make money off of the US market. He's f#cking up his own upside by not doing so. This guy is a massive talent yet he isn't ever going to see that massive upside that goes along with massive talent unless he learns English & forces the fights that matter for his career.

      Again I understand why him & others don't do that doe cuz these guys dedicated their lives to this sport & getting to the point of getting paid like he is in the 6 digit region+ is uncharted territory for everyone except a tiny % of guys to ever lace them up & why rock the boat.
      I agree with you on that, it's only natural he learns to speak the language of the country where he makes his money

          Why was Connor rattled by Loma comments? For him to be pulling that face in that video is bizarre.

            Some fans have no shame showing their senseless hate.
            Yep. Fight would probably have been more competitive if the fight happened 2 years ago at 126. Now it's at 130. Unfortunately, Guillermo priced himself out of a fight he himself asked for.

              In way a though, that's the best thing that could of happened. The Rigo-Loma fight just got a ton more exposure.
              Mcpenis would've been humiliated by lomachenco and he knows it.

                He's fought other combat sports coming up. Loma is probably a guy who could flip to MMA at some point in his career if he choose to.

                Randomly I believe you are put to death at age 10 in Russian or Ex-Soviet states if you don't know Sambo.

                  It's also about twenty times more exposure than Loma's received in his career... so I'm sure he's fine with it.
