Lomachenko is moving up to 135

[Robbie Barrett]

OK I understand, but Easter is the 3rd best choice at 135, maybe 2nd because he's undefeated and Linares got koed 3 times...

Pacquiao can't fight at 135, Easter is not a 4th choice, be fair dude.

Wy are you bringing up Pacquiao in a lightweight fight??

Why does it need to be lightweight? They dismissed Pacquiao and said it would mean nothing. It would mean more than Easter. So why not that fight. Dismissing a fight because legacy wise it would mean nothing and then wanting a weaker fight makes no sense.

Well, the reason of moving up was that no champion at 130 wants to fight him, they went through all the options.

He also said that he wants Linares to stay for a post-fight press conference after their fight, so Linares will explain what he meant by the words "Lomachenko has speed but no punch".

It's not all about Easter, but Lomachenko's life concepts, as he said in this interview "A man should keep his word". So you can emotionally hook him on with words.

He said he wanted to fight Mikey in early 2017. Mikey told him to his face he needs to move up. Loma ended up staying at 130 fighting smaller fighters. After he beat Rigo he says he wants Mikey, instead he says he's staying at 130 to unify. If he wanted Mikey so bad wouldn't he moved up to 135 a long time ago and now he's moving up because of Easter and Linares? Why not say I'm moving up to fight Mikey?

I need to see that Berchelt fight before he moves up!!!!
Berchelt said he was down.
The top 2 guys at 130. Make it happen. Then they can target Linares for the first fight at 135.

To late, man as he said, they went through all the options, and there's nothing.

[Robbie Barrett]

So fighting Salidoe for his second pro fight is cherry picking?lol

WOW,

Denial is not a river in Egypt, HERE WE ARE

Yes. Picking the weakest possible route to a world title is a cherry pick. Don't be telling me he couldn't have got a better opponent.

They didn't fight him because of the weight mainly.

Pacquiao can't fight at 135 and you know that.

You expect Loma to jump to 140-147 fo fight Manny.

Dude was 126 2 years ago lol

So he should have gotten a better opponent for his second pro fight?
When other fighters fight 4 rounders against McDonald employees...

Pacquiao weighs around 150 in the ring. Loma around 140.

Around the same advantage Loma had over Rigo. Loma can't do what Rigo did and fight a bigger fighter?

[FinitoxDinamita]

He would make Easter quit too cuz easter sucks.

Loma was the best prepared fighter in history before turning pro. You brag about his amateur career and then want to dismiss it when trying to hype him up.

He also has what 6 fights in the WSB? Which are basically pro fights. Fight Fax counts them which is the official boxing record in the US.

He mentioned Garcia as the biggest fight in 135. But Mikey wants big money, he's businessman, while Loma is good with the money he receives, his target is legacy, not money. (briefly from the interview) So I think we should wait and it will happen eventually.
