Comments Thread For: Commey Eyes June Return, Future Unifications - On His Terms

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Richard Commey and his team spent enough time talking with his promoters-including his own-last week to know what his immediate future will and won't include. He's also spent enough time in his career as a B-side to know that his next big move won't come under similar conditions. The reigning lightweight titlist is set to return to the ring in June, taking on a voluntary defense before eyeing a much bigger fight in the second half of the year.

Another deluded phuck who thinks he's the A side? Boxing is a joke.

LOL thats disappointing, so Commey wont be facing anybody next, but takes a voluntary defense? And he is hoping to fight Easter again and calls that a massive fight?

Another fighter who is avoiding Loma...

[bronx7]

It’s nice he won a belt but when it’s time of course he will
Be the B side again to Lomo. And he will be broken down Tko mid/ late. Let him feel special for a while until it’s time to give his best and lose

Loma vs. Commey is likely then for September.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

So there IS a chance for Lomachenko vs Commey after June. Perhaps, Septermber - October-ish? That's great.

The 32-year old plans to keep it that way now that he’s finally fought his way to the top. A fight with Lomachenko remains very much on his to-do list—just not his only thing to do.

Therefore, I want to be 100% when I face Lomachenko and give Ghana a great victory in the spirit of the great Azumah Nelson. My goals extend beyond Lomachenko. The landscape in the lightweight division is changing. Will Mikey Garcia return? I am also eyeing the Robert Easter Jr.-Rances Barthelemy contest for the WBA lightweight regular title (on April 27). If Easter were to win, a unification bout in a rematch would be massive.”

Hope Mikey returns to 135 then or no unifications happening...

[Motorcity Cobra]

So no Teo or Lomachenko next......

I think he wants that Easter Jr rematch the most.

[kushking]

Damn he brought up 1 of the atg fighters I've ever seen in Azuma nelson. The greatest African fighter of all time imho. As for Commeys future plans I can't believe this guys delusions at 32 yrs old. That being said he did beat easter & shafikov imo. He definitely deserves his belt more than most champs,but he needs to take advantage & sign vs loma asap if he doesn't want to get robbed again beforehand. If Loma doesn't face him or garcia next then he has no excuses to not face teo whom the fans wanna see & he'll get more respect for than most alternatives.

I'm inclined to give him a pass, he's been really ****ed around in the past and its his one moment to not be the first one to have to do the ringwalk.

His manager all but confirmed Loma for Sept, so a soft voluntary in June is reasonable. I think they signalled a very clear NO that the voluntary would be Teo, which was probably part of Teo's post fight funk (along with the weight and camp problems)
