Options for Loma’s next fight.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

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

Good breakdown.

Berchelt is fighting Jason Sosa in November. That’s why I left him out. I’d like to see that fight next year.

Dropping back to 130 and fighting Berchelt.

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

“Scared to take any risks”😂😂

The guys been fighting for world titles since his second fight.

GTFOH...

Tank is the only option that will convince him to fight again this year

I dont think Lomachenko cares about who he is fighting. Bob on the other hand will definitely protect his investment though. He knows that Lomachenko is guarenteed a shot at Commey once he wrecks Lopez.

If it was me, personally now is the time to take care of Haney. Loma has plans to drop back down to 130 and Haney will only get bigger in size.

OK then fight after that. I think when you have a talent as good as Loma is, fans want to see him in competitive fights where the outcome is not predetermined. Dropping down to 130 to fight Berchelt would be that kind of fight. Do you agree?

[DuckAdonis]

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

The plan is to have a fight in-between because Loma wants to stay busy and they expect the fight with Commey/Lopez to happen as late as April. Loma wants to be active. He is fighting. Don't expect anything else than a stay busy fight

Fight after that?

Loma is fighting Commey/Lopez after that. Everyone knows this. He can fight Berchelt after Commey/Lopez tho

The thread asks for options for Loma's next fight. IMO the best option for us as fans is Berchelt at 130 because Berchelt has a better chance to win which makes the fight more intriguing.

Fighting the Lopez/Commey winner is fine.

Loma isn't the kind of guy to fight once a year. I think he wants to keep busy, but he also has his eyes on the unification fight.

So he isn't going to be trying to make a fight with someone who isn't ready to go. If he can get a fight in December, I think he will do it. Then he will be fighting for the IBF belt as soon as possible after that.

Potential opponents who can't make it in December, because of other upcoming fights, will just be ruled out.

Potential opponents who would be difficult to fight in December because they will want to build it into some kind of superfight, or will act like divas, and who will drag out the process - they will also get overlooked.

Personally, I think the best options are:
1) Tank. Tank is thinking of moving up. Loma is going to move down. This may be Tank's best chance to get a whole bunch of belts all at once. Or he can just wait until Loma vacates, then move up and fight for a vacant belt.
2) Garcia. Garcia can make 135 easily enough, and he doesn't seem to have any better options lined up. Beat Loma and he can grab a whole bunch of belts all at once. Must be tempting. But who knows what Mikey is planning on doing next.
3) Haney. Young, keen and talented. No-one can complain about this fight being made.

People need to look at it like Loma is only going to have one more fight at 135 other than the IBF unification with Commey/Lopez. After that he moves down.

It's a once-off opportunity, to fight a legend and to perhaps win a bunch of belts. But there is no room for messing around. The fight gets made for the end of the year, with minimal drama, or it likely won't happen.
