Comments Thread For: Team Lomachenko: Pacquiao Must Go To 135 - No Catch-Weight!

That was a flash knock down. If U look at the fight again, you’ll see that his feet are coming together, which leaves U with no balance.

So much talk of lomachenco being so great and unbeatable. It took just 1 good showing from Manny to quiet his ass down. Either that or Arum had a hand in this, but it looks and sounds like a duck.

Loma's afraid of Manny pure and simple

There are plenty of active welterweights who would be willing to fight Pacquiao. Why is he calling out a lightweight? Answer that.

There is no right answer to it. But let’s not pretend it hasn’t happened many times before. Floyd-marquez. Oscar-pac. Duran-leonard. Oscar wanted pac because he was the top p4p fighter that time and it’d make an exciting fight.
Pac grabbed the opportunity and was catapulted to stardom.

Same thing could happen with Loma right now.
Pac wants loma since he’s the top p4p fighter and that it’d make an exciting fight.
What’s in it for loma?
Well as achilles said “immortality”

Beat up fan favorite pacquiao and he’s immediately a ppv guy.

Klimas is one of the biggest big mouth clowns in the sport.. always has been..

When these B sides like Loma & Wilder start thinking they call the shots? Lol..

Not sure that Loma is a b side against anyone other than Pac. Besides, it's probably just a negotiating tactic. Peace.

Wow Loma is 30 yrs old, he's not getting any younger almost 31. This is his chance to be great and fight a legendin Manny Pacquiao for his 4rth weight division title. If Loma doesn't take his fight we will be looking back in the history books asking ourselves Why not?.. Pacquiao isn't shot, he just displayed to everyone he has the reflexes, footwork and power/speed.
Loma and his team must realize the dangers that they face by facing Pacquiao at 140. If Linares was able to drop Loma at 135 Pacquiao could do some damage.

Loma doesn't want that work. Fine if he faces Mikey next... if not, he's a fool for turning down a fight with Pac.

He's not fighting Mikey next. It will be the winner of Pedraza vs Beltran.

Everyone who has been in or around Manny knows that he has to basically over eat to gain weight above 140 so making 140 will be no thing and 135 would just require training while eating normal.

Cool, then it shouldn't be a problem for him to go down.

They will be regretting that decision I'm sure. I like Loma but they should know not everything is their leverage. And with a chance of stopping an aging Pacquiao not only garners fame but huuuge fortune as well like 8 figures a fight. Money that they never thought they would see in their hands.

[Derranged]

Fuck this fight. Make Loma-Garcia happen.
