Lomachenko fight night weight is 138 lbs

[El Ondeado]

So that means Loma is only cutting 3 lbs at Lightweight similar to what Pacquiao & Mayweather did at Welterweight.

Normally boxer cut & gain between 10-15 lbs during the weight in to fight night weight.


*Examples

-Linares fight night weight is 150lbs and he fights at 135lbs. That's a 15lb cut.

-Tank's fight night weight is 142lbs and he fights at 130lbs. That a 12lb cut.



IMO either Loma bulks up a little more or move down to 130lbs where it's his natural weight class. Because this upcoming young Lightweight will be much bigger than Linares since they are young and can cut at least 15lbs if not more. Upcoming Lightweight guys like Devin Haney & Teofimo Lopez are at least 155lbs on fight night.

Yes have a slight point! Just keep in mind that being able to beat guys bigger than you is what makes you a P4P great! This is why Golovkin will never truly be P4P! Only guys like Loma,Mikey and Terrance when he fights the 54s will make the list of guys like Floyd PAC and JMMarquez! IMO

That's true, but Loma was desperate getting quality opponents at 130.

In that case, you must think Ali and Hagler were garbage.

Crawford is the biggest weight bully out there. LOLLL

It couldnt hurt him to bulk up a bit and gain some muscle, look at his shoulders. Hes narrower than most 12 year boys. Also he needs more power at LW, when you land the kitchen sink on Linares chin and nothing happens you know you dont have power. Linares is chinny.

He is really a featherweight and was champion at 126 not so long ago. He should stay at 135 or lower. He is too small to fight at 140 although he might be good enough to beat top guys at that weight. He shouldn't make thing too hard for himself.

Ali won the gold medal at light heavy. He moved up for pro. A lot of heavies he beat were heavies in the olympics/amateurs. Fraizer and Foreman were gold medalists at heavy. Liston was a natural heavy.

He da same size as Mikey doe...

I don't think the question is if he's good enough to beat guys above 140 but if it's the ideal career path to take. I think he's more than capable at beating elite guys at welterweight but to what end? I'd rather see Loma adjust with age defending his dominant reign against equally sized competitors in the featherweight range rather than seeing him eventually faulter to a mediocre greenhorn (Pac vs Horn) due to size.

I feel like the boxing world gets too antsy when one guy becomes so sensationally dominant in a division. It'd be better for boxing if we just all let the best p4p guys fight at their desired weight class. By doing so they do more for the weight class as a collective given the inevitable, someone will come along someday and dethrone them. Pac losing to Crawford at lightweight would have done a lot more good for boxing rather than him losing at a weight he doesn't belong in to some stiff idiot teacher in Horn. It'd blow to see Loma 5 yrs down the road lose to some nobody because the mf is 20lbs heavier
