Comments Thread For: Arum: Lomachenko Will Return 8/25 at The Forum; Opponent TBD

[trainhard_187]

Tank vs Loma at 130 or a catch weight of 132 would be the best fight next. Then Pacquiao at 135 in the fall, then Beltran March of 2019, and Mikey summer 2019.

Boxing doesn't work that way.... We fans just sit a hope we get the fights we want when we want which is usually NEVER...

[trainhard_187]

Pacquiao may be easier to negotiate with Bob Arum after Beltran, but I wonder if he will want Lomachenko to come up above 140 which I think he may be reluctant to do.

Pacquiao vs. Loma at a Catchweight, BANK IT!!!

Should set the stage for him to fight the Mikey-Easter winner later this year, especially if he sells tix well in LA.

Please let it be tank. I’m suprised that I seem to be the only one that thinks tank can win.

I doubt that is the fight in August but I can see Loma vs Beltran in August then Loma vs Manny in November.

Why the hell would Manny come all the way down to 35 to fight Lomachencko? If he beats Matthysse, he’ll have a bull**** belt at 47. It would make more sense for the fight to happen at that weight. And if Lomachencko doesn’t care about collecting the meaningless trinket, the fight should happen no lower than 140. Manny’s been fighting at welterweight for a decade. It’s a bull**** fight to begin win. Let’s not make it worse by having a forty year old Manny draining himself to make a weight he hasn’t made in a decade.

It would be De La Hoya v. Manny 2.0

Loma is anknowledged P4P King now. If to loose then to Loma and Pac has good chances for a win.
137-138 catch-weight.

no way Arum lets Loma get in there with Mikey Garcia and Tank Davis.linares doesnt make it pass the 5th rd with either on them.

[Dean_Razorback]

put him vs beltran, that way he'll hold the wba and wbo belts and on the other side, mikey will most likely be the unify wbc and ibf champ. that fight will be huge
