Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Linares a Possibility, Says Golden Boy President

[angkag]

I think it would looks great aesthetically. Linares throws great punches.

Loma would beat him easily but I'd like to see the fight next year.

The Linares from the first two rounds against Campbell was sublime. Campbell was totally outclassed and getting steamrolled. But Linares couldn't keep it up and he let Campbell back into the fight - by the end it was an even match-up. He would need to keep the level of intensity he had in those first two rounds for the full 12 to give Loma a test, and not sure he can do that.

They also have a champion at 130, why not offer him? I yell you why. They're name dropping Loma to promote Linares fight next month. They have NO INTENTIONS in making the Loma fight. NONE!

NO-MAS Cherries Please Loma!

Question- Lomachencko vs. Mikey Garcia @ 135 pounds?

Answer- Bwhahahahahaha hell no , Butter-Bean will make a comeback at flyweight before that happens!

Vasyl Lomachencko's biggest achievement in boxing so far has been becoming the sport's biggest cherry picker in less then a dozen fights. He fought a guy 1 weight class smaller then his. Did that satisfy the coward's hunger for cherries , u ask? Nope he cherry picked a guy 2 weight classes smaller then his right after.

Up next for the newest protected & pampered coward of boxing:
Lomachenko vs. Ronda Rousey for the Hello Kitty Belt

*Shame on you Lomachencko , your father Orlando Salido taught you better then that!*

Should do WBSS at 135

It will be interesting to see if and how these fights come together. Berchelt and Linares are with Golden Boy. Mikey Garcia is a free agent but his last 3 fights since coming off his layoff have been with PBC/Showtime.

On the Top Rank side of things you have Beltran who is about to fight for a vacant WBO title at 135 so he's obviously close to a Lomachenko shot if he wins that title. There's Verdejo who I think we'll definitely get to see match up against Lomachenko. And then there's Juan Diaz, unlikely but wouldn't shock me.

Berchelt is actually with Zanfer promotions I believe.

Damn gomez is talking a lot of trash, he better be able to back it up and get the deal done, Id rather see Loma fight Berchelt first if hes not a coward like tank davis, but after that a fight with Linares would be a good test at 135 and then beltran if he gets the 135 title. Garcia will be scared just like tank but you come to expect that from Pbc fighters. Loma Garcia would be the best fight and I honestly think Loma makes Mikey quit but hes too scared to fight loma anyways right now

Vasyl Lomachenko dominated previously undefeated Guillermo Rigondeaux to the point where the Cuban called it a night after six rounds at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City this past weekend. The reigning WBO super featherweight titlist, could soon be moving up to lightweight. After capturing a world title at 126-pounds and then 130-pounds, Lomachenko is looking for his third division title.

that would be a very good fight

been a fan of Linares for YEARS, but I would ride with Loma in that matchup

Garcia is the real test at 135, not picking a winner

Berchelt is actually with Zanfer promotions I believe.

He's co-promoted by Golden Boy. Golden Boy handles his fights in the U.S., Zanfer handles his fights in Mexico.

Linares stock depreciated big time after the Salgado and Demarco Loss. To be precise, he was exposed as a C class fighter. I agree this will be easy work for Loma. Loma needs to get through Berchelt, and Alberto Machado first. If he manages to do so he then will conquer the next division as well. He will truly be tested if he can move up to super lightweight!!!

What about Mikey Garcia? A Loma win is not a foregone conclusion.
