Comments Thread For: Arum: If Lopez Wins, We're Planning Loma-Lopez For March/April

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum is more confident than Teofimo Lopez about Vasiliy Lomachenko fighting Lopez next if Lopez beats Richard Commey on Saturday night. Brooklyn's Lopez said during a recent interview with BoxingScene.com that he thinks there's just a "50-50" chance Lomachenko would fight him if Lopez wins the IBF lightweight title from Commey at Madison Square Garden in New York (https://www.boxingscene.com/lopez-only-50-percent-confident-lomachenko-fight-him--144643). Arum, however, informed BoxingScene.com that the percentages are "95-5" for Lomachenko-Lopez taking place as soon as March or April if Lopez (14-0, 11 KOs) overcomes Commey (29-2, 26 KOs) in their 12-round, 135-pound title fight.

Does this mean if Commey wins Loma won't fight him next? Come on boxingscene this should be the obvious next question to have asked.

Can't wait to see how Lopez handles the weigh-in for Commey! He's been struggling to make 135 for the past couple of fights! Should be an outstanding fight for as long as it lasts! Both men are very big for 135!

Bumchenko wants the winner battered and softened, three months is not enough time to heal and get back to the grind.

Bob trying to ruin this kid hey Bob he’s a featherweight weight . I get it you don’t want him near Shakur Stevenson

For some reason, i feel like Commey will be behind early, then come on and beat down Lopez either by UD or by late rounds stoppage.

Lopez is gonna have his hands full with Commey. This should be a good fight!

gave top rated Russell his only loss.....made undefeated and highly regarded Walters and undefeated p4p rated Rigo both quit!!! U must have Loma mistaken with Stank Davis and his record full of hispanic stiffs and tomato cans!!

Im curious as to why that wasnt asked of Bob!

I get it that you hate Loma, but c'mon kid, no need to throw out bs. Loma has fought plenty of good fighters.

IF, and that's a big if, Lopez beats Commey, he will have proven he belongs in the with Loma.
