Great News! A big clue that Mikey vs Loma could happen next year!

[Boxing Logic]

Vasyl Lomachenko is trained by his father. Mikey Garcia is the WBC lightweight champion. Recently, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has been kicking around the idea in the media of banning fathers from being able to train their sons in WBC sanctioned fights, which Loma vs Mikey would be. I think this is a great clue that the western boxing establishment, which Mauricio is a part of, is planning to make Mikey vs Loma next year. I think they're readying this father-ban now so they can implement it right before the Loma-Mikey fight and make it so Loma has to go into the biggest fight of his career without his lifelong trainer. Just in case a house ref and house judges aren't enough, this could really be the edge that the good guys need, not to "fix" the fight per se because that is totally wrong, but just to, you know, ensure that the right boxer wins, you know, for the sake of the sport!

It reminds me of when WADA banned meldonium, which many of the Russian athletes were using for stamina, but they didn't ban the likely higher end, harder to detect stuff that the richer nation's athletes use, like the U.S. Once that happened, I knew Kovalev-Ward was about to be made right around the corner, and it also set the table for Wilder-Povetkin to be pretend made before they canceled it at the last minute over a positive-but-not test for, you guessed it, meldonium! This could be a similar situation.

So make sure and post your comments below! Are you excited to see Mikey vs Loma next year? Can Loma win a decision or can he only win by knockout? Do you think Loma will receive the "HBO eastern european privilege" of a majority decision from the judges if he wins 10 rounds, like what happened against Gary Russell Jr, or is he going to have to win at least 11 in a fight of this magnitude for him to deserve the decision? Post your thoughts and predictions here!

Surely the unified rules would supersede it? Also the WBC just created a fathers belt for Porter-Garcia so they are all over the place and proving why they are as dumb and laughable as the WBA.

Loma-Mikey is just a complicated fight to make. Loma is with TR who are exclusive to ESPN and Loma being p4p #1 and someone who draws good ratings isn’t going to be able to just go to Showtime easily and Mikey has a grudge with Arum and won’t go to ESPN due to Haymon and his ties to Showtime.

It’s a shame but the only way this fight happens is if Arum and Haymon strike a two fight deal like Crawford-Spence on one network and Loma-Mikey on the other.

It’s amazing how boxing fans these days want to just talk ducking when they even know the complications and politics of the situation.

I think Loma is all wrong for Mikey. Mikey is predictable on offense and a little slow with his right and Loma is too fast and also way to good on his feet whereas Mikey’s slow on his. Loma would just rack up too many rounds and win wide.

The Pov Meldonium thing really was kind of dumb. You can't recently ban a substance and then get mad at an athlete for having a trace amount.

You want some cheese to go with that whine?

First off I don't think the "Father Corner Ban" is gonna happen. And secondly if it did it wouldn't happen for years cuz there is still a lot of research to do to determine if its really a problem that leads to ring deaths & severe injuries more often than non-fathers in the corner or not.

But A- troll thread.

That's some sweet deductive skills you displayed there. Can you predict when AJ will grow some balls...
