Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Gives Up WBO 130 Title, Remains at Lightweight

[sammybee]

Tank should unify with Belchelt.

Not surprised Loma is doing this but it's kind of odd that the WBO is enforcing this so quickly. How many champions have we seen lately make like one defense a year? He made three last year and already, ten days, in or out after beating Linares? Kind of f'd up, but that's boxing.

Either way, look out 135 for the Matrix!!

Hope he hangs at 135 for a while. I will watch any Lomachenko fight. But moving any farther up might be a little much right now. Give it a few fights at 135, see how the body feels. Plenty of fun bouts to be had.

I think it's a bad move, but he may prove me wrong. He could clean out 130. There are fighters at 135 he can beat, but I think if he stays here and fills out he'll be comfortable in the long run. He should avoid 140 for the next 2 years though

Berchelt is at 130. Beltran is a much easier fight.

Yes because out of all the fighters in the world, it is Lomachenko who is searching for easier fights.

[Real King Kong]

Was kinda hoping he'd fight in both divisions. There's still interesting fights at 130 if the Garcia fight can't be made.

Tougher road overall at lightweight. He’s gonna have some pronounced size disadvantages against some guys, but should be fun. Loma is well prepared for the division.

Loma always said that he wants challenges. He is not interested in fighting bums and cowards like Tank Davis.

Meanwhile haters new excuse:
He is ducking charlo and errol spence jr ����

Thats what they will say after Loma beats Mikey Garcia. Haters then :" Loma has to fight Crawford and all World Champs at 147".

Thats the plan. Fighting Mikey Garcia in May 2019 and then Tank Davis (who should move up to 135) in December 2019.

Get ready for the Matrix to take over 135 and Mikey to move up.
