Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia To Be Champion Emeritus, Campbell Goes For Title

Lopez gets the belt and then fighting Loma goes full Salido weighing in 136-137 lbs and Loma won't cancel the fight as he wants the belt...

That's why he can do voluntary against Lopez next. I'm sure he'll wait him out.

I like the thinking - that could definitely happen.

Only reason I don't think it does is Arum, he would be more inclined to protect them from each other and steer teo to 140, main thing being the 'champion at x weight classes' thing, and once he has the 135 crown, to move on to 140.

Also, pretty sure the Loma camp would think about the possibility too (especially after Salido), and there would likely be something really punitive in the contract if Teo did that.

Just can't see Loma deflecting from the plan for Commey and his belt (or Cmmey deflecting from it) in September, which makes December the absolute earliest for any potential Teo v Loma unification, and with Teo saying he can't make 135 by the end of the year, dunno.

If not Commey or Lopez, then who? Another mandatory bum? Why wait for Lopez till December?

So is this gonna be Teofimo vs Campbell then? Then we can setup Teofimo vs Loma like a bunch of mfers wanna see & hell I'm kinda curious about that one too.

Zaur Abdullaev is #2 with the WBC. Haney is #3, Lopez is #4. Now we know these sanctioning bodies just create their own rules as they go along but don't they at least have to order #1 vs. #2 first?


With that said, next time their rankings update in May I wouldn't be surprised to see Lopez sitting at #2 since he did just beat Tatli who was rated #9 by the WBC (probably why that fight was made in the first place).

Can't see any way Commey doesn't happen in Sept (unless he loses his soft voluntary in June). Its Commey's big payday, and Loma wants it too.

Yea I think I agree with your 2nd paragraph much more than think the 1st paragraph is in play.

But we shall see. Arum doesn't have the pull with the WBC like he does with the WBO so maybe Teofimo doesn't get it. Who knows. I suspect even if he doesn't get it he'll be the mando for it real quick with 2 guys of the 4 ahead of him getting the title shot doe so if it happens quick enough maybe Teofimo can still get a belt within the next 6-8 months & parlay that into the Loma fight in early 2020.

Thank you for the info. I'm done talking about this crap.

They can just announce a fight and WBC will be forced to put either an Interim WBC belt at stake or (with appropriate bribe) full WBC belt.

Wait you have a problem with Salido weight but not with Loma fighting guys 1 and 2 wegiht classes below him??? What a fkn hypocrite you are.

Funny how Mikey dropped Salido like 6 times and 12-15 other guys could beat Salido but P4P #1 / 2 cant???

Fkn Khan Jr. Had Loma in trouble..
