Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Crolla WBA Purse Bid Hearing: Again Postponed

[chrisJS]

Nah bruh! Teofimo and his father have been very vocal about wanting Loma now! They already said they're going to 140 in 2020, and they want Loma in 2019! Tank don't want it, but Teofimo does! I think Loma vs. Lopez is better than Loma vs. Commey, Crolla, Linares, or Berchelt (OK, maybe not Berchelt)! Especially @ MSG!

He was quoted on the main page as saying he'd like to win a belt first.

Commey IMO brings more value currently and Berchelt the most established of all the aforementioned. I think those two (and Crolla) are the fights this year. If Loma fought Lopez I think a LOT of folks would **** on it and then if (when) Loma won he'd get **** on even more and a lot of folks would give up on Lopez.

I think it's good strategy to mention his name but I don't think they are that willing to fight him right now. Tank should act like that though because it's a really bad look to talk ****, say you'd KO him and then say "but I don't want to fight him though".

Yes. Agree 100%. Man, I wish Rigo would fight more.

I would expect Rigo vs. Raushee Warren, Brandon Figueroa, or maybe Carl Frampton @ 126! Haymon and Ronnie Shields have plans! TRUST!

They didn't give up on Canelo when Floyd beat him! They didn't give up on Loma when Salido beat him! That's bad strategy if either one does it! And I disagree with you, I think Lopez really wants it NOW!

I've said it before - Lopez vs Haney and the winner gets Lom or Commey. Whoever wins the Lopez / Haney fight has earned the shot. Unbeaten vs unbeaten in a clash of styles earns the winner a big shot.

Man tough room- Crolla may not be an all time great, but he's not the bum that he is being referred to here. I don't think he'd beat Loma, but it would be an acceptable fight.

It seems as if somebody isnt a fan favorite top 5 P4P guy they are derided as being garbage, not really fair or accurate.

Lomo's schedule of fights lined up:

Crolla, Commey, WBO or IBF mandatory, Berchelt PPV.















Then either teofimo or tank ends his career

You may have heard that PapaFimo barked at Team Loma at the fighters’ hotel a couple days ago. Greg Leon had deets on Boxing Talk:

“I just told them how I feel. I told them that we’re going to steal the show again and we’re coming to take his head off soon. ... He ain’t nobody man, I don’t know why people praise this guy,” said Teofimo’s dad Teofimo Senior. “This guy is terrible and everybody saw it on Saturday when he looked terrible. This guy won’t last two rounds with my son and I’ll put all my money on that. He’s too fragile for my son, and we already that they’re not going to fight us because we’re going to end his career. Top Rank would love for him to do it because it would set him up as a $50M fighter. Top Rank doesn’t need this guy. He couldn’t even sell out a 5,000 seat arena. This guy is a fake and he’s always been a fake to me. We would have killed Pedraza in one round. We’re putting Lomachenko to sleep. He’s just too small. Loma is never going to be able to beat my son. If he fights this way with my son he might get knocked out seconds into the first round. My son is going to be the best boxer in history and he’s only 21 right now and I believe he only landed with like 50-60% of his power on that shot that finished Menard off.”

Would you like to make a Permanent Ban bet? I’m in. Loma defeats them both. But if just one beats Loma I’ll be permanently banned.

Deal?

[Satir]

reading you Loma cant even have the mandatory bouts, only championship fights and then unifications, if not move up and fight someone bigger, those are some high standarts, maybe the highest in modern boxing, who else is doing it?

The bold: It absolutely is not. Not for someone hailed as the "best" boxer in the world, despite the mandatory BS. The honorable thing to do is to vacate the belt.

At 32, Crolla has 6 losses against average and nondescript fighters. What's his best win? What does he do best? Crolla is a never-was.

Fighting Lopez would be a million times better.
