Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I Plan To Stay at 135 For a 'Couple of Years'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

During his in-studio visit to 'the 3 Knockdown Rule' with Mario Lopez last Friday, WBA lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) stated that his preference was to plant his flag for a bit at 135, after winning titles in three weight divisions in just a dozen fights.

I think this is a good move from Loma.

That's smart. Approved.

If he wants to unify and fight the top dogs at 135 I can't do nothing but respect that.

135 looks about as much as he’ll comfortably go. Good call. He’s 30 years old and moved up a few times in the last few years and I wasnt even sure he’d stick around 135 for long unless it was for Mikey and Linares or another champ. Figured hed go back down if he didnt get Linares/Mikey back to back. Theres some odd matchups for him at 35 and young guys who are going to move up soooner rather than later at a crack at him or Mikey

Smart decision! Mikey should be the target! Beltran and Easter Jr. are side-pieces! That being said, I don't think Mikey stays at 135 for too much longer!

Yes, protect your body all the time. No need to fight those big cheaters.

[Vinnykin]

hopefully he can become undisputed, the fights are all there to be made.

That KD was a reality check but in a good way.
