    Options for Loma’s next fight.

    If Loma fights again this year who should he face?

    US based Options:

    Gervonta Davis- The best option but isn’t going to happen, Tank is likely fighting Gamboa in December.

    Felix Verdejo- No longer has the same hype but still a fight that would do well in NYC.

    Javier Fortuna- Not a huge name but a credible opponent.

    Rances Barthelemy- 2 Weight world champion, got found out at 140 but still a credible opponent.

    Winner of Haney/Abdullaev- Interim WBC champion, if Haney wins could be difficult to negotiate.

    Jamel Herring- Previously struggled at 135 but is the current WBO champion at 130, in house fight also.

    International based options:

    Jorge Linares- Stock has fallen recently, but the first fight was very exciting, how about a rematch in Tokyo?

    George Kambosos Jnr- Relatively unknown prospect, mentioned by Arum, could possibly be a big fight in Australia.

    A Roman Andreev type- could serve as a homecoming fight in Kiev or a big fight in Moscow.

    Any other options?

    I'd only be excited with Davis or Haney.

      Only way he fights anyone before the Commey/Teo winner is if someone came in with a huge payday to go overseas. Not interested in any of those options, but if he can get paid, why not

        I’m kinda the same, I’d rather see him fight than just sit out the rest of 2019. Even if it is just a showcase.

          Winner of Commey/ Lopez only fight that makes sense and can be gotten.

          I wouldn’t mind a Linares fight in Japan, that would be awesome.

            should wait to fight Davis after he unifies, will be more money on the line for him if's he's undisputed, bargaining power

              Bob wants to get this Kambosos kid some exposure, or at a minimum, just cash in on another Australian fight while showcasing Loma internationally. It's a stay busy fight until he unifies with Commey. That would be my guess.

                Verdejo is a possibility but hasn't fulfilled full potential, he has size though
                fortuna kinda like the thought of that fight and credible opponent
                rances Barthelemy other side of the street? (difficult to make in short time i assume),and he shouldn't give Haymon a chance at the belts if it ain't Gervontae because they will keep them in house and refuse matches across the street.
                Winner of Haney/Abdullaev would like that fight, good choice
                Jamel Herring haven't seen him fight, just know he's a champion at 130 so i can't really give an option
                Jorge Linares they're are rumblings about a Campbell vs Linares rematch
                George Kambosos Jnr he also has the height and the reach but my feelings is meh no thanks
                Berchelt not mentioned and don't know if he's busy but i'd love that fight

                  Fight is never gonna happen because Loma is too scared to take any risks, but Pacquiao makes the most sense from all perspectives.

                    Dropping back to 130 and fighting Berchelt.
