Why are they saying arum needs to call Gomez. Why doesn’t Gomez call arum lol

Thats usually true when its someone like Mikey Garcia who fights the easiest fight every time. Then when he fights someone good he looks very ordinary. Lipinets is horrible and made Garcia look ordinary. Loma is making top fighters look easy. Gary Russel Jr, Walters, Rigo, it cant all just be luck. I dont think theres anyone at 135-140 who gives Loma any problems including Garcia.

Salido gave Loma all kinds of trouble. In fact he won that fight... I would take Mikey at 135 and especially 140.

[Good,yeah!!!]

It was only 2nd fight in profi against one of the dirtiest boxer with the absolute loyalty for Salido from referee in the ring.
Loma proved his level in the next fight vs Gary Russell Jr.

Retire

Bob Sponges in house fighters unless Rigos are in the basement for a sure win.

And Loma was allowed to hug way too many times. Both should of had points deducted. One for hitting low other for excessive clinching.

I agree, but there is a big difference, because clinches are the permissible part of boxing and punches lower the belt are forbidden.

Good resume fight for Lomachenko, since he beat Gary Russell his level of opposition hasn't been as high as it needs to be for someone that good. Linares would be a huge step up for Lomachenko and both men will get the chance to show us what they can really do. Linares and Golden boy have to decide now once and for all whether they wanna fight Mikey Garcia or Lomachenko, I think the Garcia fight makes more sense financially but it's maybe a little bit tougher to make since Mikey works with Schaefer and Haymon now, but I'm happy with either fight.

This is such a mismatch. Even Gervonta Davis would KO Linares. Loma needs to fight Mikey Garcia

I can't see how Arum would not finalize this deal. If i'm not mistaken, GBP is willing to let Linares fight on ESPN on May 12th? What else could be an obstacle? Bob Arum!

How would a fight with Garcia make more financial sense than a fight with Loma? Loma Linares is a way bigger fight than Linares Garcia. Linares will get a 7 figure payday to fight Loma, if he fought Garcia he wouldnt
