With English subs if you willing to sit through it
But quick main points...
Looks like Loma will stay at 135lb for a while, as he mentioned that you already saw how much bigger Linares was at 135lb, and Loma only re-hydrated ~4lbs. He is already challenging himself by fighting at 135lb, he could go lower. But it appears that he is not ruling out 140lb, but looks like way down the road where age will just force him to gain weight.
He want's a warm up fight after his shoulder heals in Beltran...interviewer tells him a champion is not exactly a warm up fight, to which Loma essentially says "there are levels to this"...meaning he does not view Beltran as an elite fighter.
In regards to PPV, he says that he is very skeptical of any Americans wanting to actually pay to see him fight. He mentioned that at his fights in the states its mostly the Ukrainian diaspora that come out to see him, so he doesn't see PPV as a feasible option.
Typical Loma it seems....very confident but still humble. Believes in his ability but realizes there are limits to everything.
