Loma knew he made a mistake against Linares, and paid for it. So he does make mistakes, and that would be Teos best hope. Loma also made a positional mistake against Rigo early where Rigo almost caught him, and Loma knew it (didn't do it again though).
I also remember Crolla landing a punch and thinking 'what if that had been Teo throwing it ?. So Loma DOES make mistakes for sure.
I think we need to see Teo vs the likes of Campbell first to be able to see how he looks at the next level up. Hopefully the WBC mandates it and we get to see it, as thats one of the few ways Teo v Loma can end up happening.
What's taking them so long?

That's a good question. The WBC says it is still waiting on Mikey, and saying they aren't putting a timeframe on it, but it looks like Mikey still hasn't made his mind up yet so everyone left hanging.
Meantime the WBC has said complimentary things about Campbell, hinting they won't screw him out of his mandatory slot, but next step has to be either Mikey making up his mind, or the WBC putting a time limit on it to keep the belt active.
Loma likely the one least affected as he's got his sights on the IBF belt, which takes him till September earliest (estimated date that he can be ready for next fight once his hand comes out of the cast), which Commey likely to align with instead of taking the mandatory he wanted pre-Loma (especially if the mandatory is Teo).
Blah blah blah!!!! The kid is selling smoke and most pendejos are buying it... can someone mention any ranked fighters or top 5 contender that TL has fought? He packs a punch and the journeyman he getting is suppose to make him look good. Loma, loma, loma, loma... is there a reason he dont mention haney or tank davis maybe even mikey garcia... than again dropping lomas name seems to be getting him the exposure he’s record cant back up with a bunch of cans...
