Good performance I wonder how Loma would handle Adrien Broner at 140,,

He would embarrass Broner because Adrien wouldn’t use any of his physical advantages. He’d come out trying to outslick Lomachencko and lose 12-0.

Mikey is walking around 165-170 lbs, at the fight night he'll be like 155-160 and Loma around 140, difference in 20 lbs for Lightweights is huge, but if its the only way you can beat the Matrix...

Beltran is a good fight for him if he stay's at 135 to grow into the weight more before fighting Mikey Garcia,he's clearly small for that weight, he weight in 138 fight night,Pacquiao at 140 ain't happening, his father won't allow it

I think that Loma @ 135lb is already too much, and you guys want him to fight Micky Garcia who has fough as high as 147lb, I remember a interview in a radio station that loma did look like a midget when beside Garcia, I really dont think thats a viable option, broner also is too big who also has a hard time making the light welter weight, I do think Loma @ 130lb is the perfect weight, fight Davis @ 130lb and unify @ that weight, Loma is just too small for the 135lb division or higher and even when he gave a wonderful performance and went as far as to knock Linares, I do think is not his weight division, he showed greatness, but people here would go as far as to say that he needs to fight GGG or something stu.pid like that to prove himself. For me, what he did with Linares was more than enough to prove his greatness.

You can't KO Broner with body shot, he showed that in last fight. Got bodyshots 12 rounds, didn't even slowdown much.

stfu with this bs. haha. there is no rule in what you can walk around at. If he walks around at 375, as long as he makes weight, it doesn't matter

I thought Manny Pacquiao was next for Lomachenko?

I’m really not understanding all the Lomachencko fanboys making excuses about him being too small for Mikey. Mikey was clearly too small for jr welterweight. At this point in their careers, Mikey is probably a natural lightweight. And Lomachencko is a natural jr lightweight. Right now it’s the best fight that can be made in the lower weights. Don’t get scared and wanna duck it now that you’ve seen holes in Lomachencko’s game that Mikey can exploit.

we'll see in july how Mikey will handle IBF morning weight-in (no more than 10 lbs over the weight limit) against Easter and how will that affect him, pretty sure he'll struggle, our Mikey loves to eat!
