Loma wants Commey (and his belt), Commey wants Loma (and the payday, and possibly his belts if Commey confident), so aren't they already agreeing they want to fight each other ?
Why would Loma force Commey to fight Teo ? Loma doesn't give a monkeys, he just wants the belt. Why would Loma do that in a show of power ? Can't see Loma giving a monkeys about shows of power either except to beat whoever has the belt he wants in the ring, and to do it as soon as possible, which is a direct showdown with Commey.

“Now from our end, of course we’d like for Loma to beat Luke Campbell and then bring the winners together for one big fight for all the marbles. That’s what boxing needs more of, these fights to get rid of all the confusion of who’s the best. And we now have a chance to make that a reality in the next few months to come.”

Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostMy question, Is Lou Dibella and Commey down with that plan? I sure hope so, because this is getting real good! I can't see Commey, the Champion, agreeing to fight Lopez for the right to face Lomachenko. He was already supposed to be fighting Lomachenko, but he was injured! Why wouldn't he just wait to fight Lomachenko "for all the marbles?" Once Dibella confirms, I'll exhale! Commey trains in Brooklyn, and Teofimo is from Brooklyn! MSG ON FIRE!
Isn't that why Lopez's next fight is an eliminator? So he becomes the mandatory and then it's either fight Lopez or vacate.

Yeah this says you're right
