    Should Garcia beat Prograis for a title shot, I think it still maintains Garcia in top 5 P4P. Of course it depends on the nature of the left vs right different P4P publications, but for example Ring Mag seems to be forgiving in the top 5 P4P for guys who had lost their 0.

    I guess the point I'm trying to make is that most people forget about the Loma vs Salido. So I would imagine that same culture would exist with Mikey should he continue winning, and if he were to KO Prograis, it would bring more attention to Mikey again.

    So Mikey was 145.5, about 152 in the morning. Let's say Mikey was about 153-154 on fight night. He certainly didn't look drained at all of course.

    So let's assume Mikey added 5lbs more overall muscle mass, I think Mikey could drain to a catch of 138lbs.

    Now the question is, will Loma fans accept this catchweight of 138lbs? Would fans find that fair? I think so.

    And should Mikey beat Lomachenko, it means Garcia goes to P4P #2 imo.

    I forgot to add, if Rigo got a hydration limit with Loma. Then I'm sure Loma will want that with Mikey as well.
    138 with a rehydration clause sounds good to me

      I would say so too. We know we could have endless debates, but it seems about fair. The unfortunate nature is that we don't know how Bob or Mikey would view things when it comes to splits with these requested circumstances.

      If the fight is 140, then fans will say it was unfair to Loma. If it's 135 they will say it's unfair to Mikey. 138 seems rather nice. Then we've got the hydration clause, but I don't think it would bother Mikey much and we would just have to accept it. It only be absurd if well all agree on a limit of let's say 142lbs. I'm willing to bet Arum and Klimas would throw some shet out there like that too so don't be surprised. If Rigo gave Loma 10lbs at the morning of then Loma would have to concede for 138lb + 10. 148lbs cap MORNING of.

      I mean shıt Rigo fought Amagasa who rehydrated to 143lbs on fight night.

      Loma has to concede to the fact that Salido lost to Mikey.

        No he didnt, he said 140 probably be the max where he goes down if he doesnt stay at 147 but 135 is a real option if lomachenko really want to fight.

            Yeah let's see what they have to say in the coming weeks, but they need to both come together to give this fight for us the fans and they owe to themselves too

              Loma beats the breaks off of Mikey now. He is physically weaker from the punishment he absorbed from Spence. That was the fight that should have happened all along but boxing politics prevented it from happening.

                This is what I was saying all along...Mikey vs Loma should have happened, not this ****** ass fight.
                I agree with you!

                  He's says at he hasn't made a decision to come back down to 135 just yet, maybe i stay at 147,maybe i come down to 135 but at 135 that is the most interesting fight with Lomachenko and i would love too take on that fight

                  Those are his own words

                    Mikey proved more risk with Spence to attempt 5 Division champion. The Loma fight is still there, and Loma lost his 0. I really doubt Mikey would struggle against Lomachenko. Mikey is a huge risk for Loma
                    I ain't claiming to know for sure who would win between Loma and Mikey, but I can tell you for sure that it won't be Loma's firepower that gets him the victory if he does win. Speed, volume, accuracy and movement will be his keys.

                      If I was advising his career; I would suggest that he stays at 147 because there is more money there.
