[Corelone]

Yet another exciting generation of boxers in the Mexican repertory... so pumped about the potential fights in the next couple of years... teofimo Lopez vs Davis, berchelt, lomachenko... all in the mix against each other.... FOTY on any one of them

Yeah, but Teofimo isn't Mexican.

May 9, 2019:

Berchelt is one of four major belt-holders at 130, with the possibility of future fights against fellow titleholders Gervonta Davis, Tevin Farmer and Masayuki Ito. But it's the matchup with Lomachenko, the WBA/WBO lightweight unified king, that he yearns for the most.

"Absolutely,'' Berchelt said. "Because he's considered a pound-for-pound fighter and so well known, I think it would be an interesting fight for me."

With Berchelt's 5-foot-7 frame and lengthy wingspan, he certainly seems to fit the part of a future lightweight. With his active, swarming style, he believes he has many of the same attributes as Orlando Salido, who outpointed Lomachenko back in 2014 in Loma's second professional outing -- his only loss to date.

"Without a doubt, I know a Mexican can beat him, he already lost to one, and I think I'll be the next Mexican," asserted Berchelt.

"That's a fight that is obviously there because that's the big fight that Berchelt wants, but we've got to talk with Top Rank, talk to [CEO Bob Arum] and [president Todd duBoef] about it. But Miguel is all over that fight -- that's the fight he wants," said Juan Carlos Torres of Zanfer Promotions, which handles Berchelt.

Another quality opponent for Loma next year. At least he has a few possibilities unlike Crawford at 147.

Ito is the logical next target for Berchelt. Ito would take the challenge. Davis and Farmer are only going to fight bums.

Thursday was when Berchelt was already signed to fight being 'busy' for Loma. But Saturday after Vargas is when Berchelt became free to fight anyone so it's when his mouth becomes his enemy so he keeps it shut from mentioning Loma.
Classic Berchelt.

That's crazy! I don't think he could make half the money fighting Ito or Herring! Same promoter, same platform, only 5lb difference! At least he could've said, "If Loma wants to come to 130, I'm ready!"

Great news, can't wait.
