    It wouldn't be my first choice, but Loma can keep busy and pick up a belt at a new weight class. This of course, might make the transition to the new weight easier than jumping in against Linares right off the bat. I think Loma beats Linares too, but this would let him see how the new weight feels. Plus, he could have a unification with Linares instead of just a title fight.

      Lomachenko will most likely fight 3 times this year.

      I think Beltran would be a good introduction to the Lightweight division. That would also give them more time to negotiate the Linares match for the summer.
      Also, a unification between Lomachenko-Linares sounds a lot better than just being for Linares' title.

      Plus, haven't people been saying that they want to see Loma in against a pressure fighter?
      Beltran is stalker but he is a pressure fighter.
      He is bigger. He was almost the same size as Crawford.

      It would be interesting if small Loma can stop Beltran.
      That would be a great talking point, since Crawford didn't do it.

      If Beltran is a great opponent for Terence, who won Fighter of the Year for that being one of his fights, then why is it a problem for a guy moving up to his third weight division?

      Hopefully Mikey does his part and unifies against Easter after Lipinets. Then they can meet at the end of the year.

        This is typical Arum. Someone needs break up the collusion he has with the WBO so that he can't control that belt.
