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

[The3]

lomachenko seating around tik April??

[REdrUm0351]

Loma is going to fight one of them thats what he wants and then he will most likely move down because hes too small. Lopez is going to have to show hes got it Commey is no push over.

Saw both Commey and Lopez live.. Commey left a bit to be desired in his fight. Lopez stole the show.

Cant wait to see them matched up. Lopez doesnt seem to like being in a fire fight and I can see Commet dragging him into one late.

[MexicanStyle#1]

Arum making sure he feeds lopez to loma right now that the hype about lopez is still somewhat relevant.

[Citizen Koba]

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.

This, absolutely.

Although TBF Arum promotes Lopez but not Commey so he can't speak for Dibella's plans should Richard win. Would be nice to hear him say that Commey will be the target though.... I'll be disappointed of Loma doesn't get either the Commey / Lopez winner, Tank, Haney or Berchelt next.

[MASTER OF you]

good news. in the mean time comey vs lopez should be a great fight! time for lopez to put his money were his mouth is play time is over! will he prove himself or get humbled?

[Phill lynott]

I don't think anyone has a chance against Loma

[Phill lynott]

Are you implying that Commey has a better shot than Lopez does at beating Loma?

The implication is why does Lopez automatically get the shot at the best, if he wins? What has he done to earn that? Really? Here it is if you want to read between the lines.. Lopez young and with years to go in the game can take a loss against Loma. All you'll hear is "no shame there". It builds his public status and in no time people will forget that he lost to Loma all the while Arum has his TR fighter building publicity. So to break it down. Whether there are better more deserving opponents out there we won't see them get a shot. TR will build their boy for the future all the while pump them up in a cloud of smoak. Get it.. That's why it was a good question with the subtle implication to just ask "why not Commey if he wins?".

I just think it's more of a lack of discipline like we often see with a lot of other fighters. They try to use the ole out grown the weight class as an excuse when they have a bad performance or 2 when it's really not the case, but hey I could be wrong maybe he will be more comfortable at 140 but either way I'm just saying he's def not big for either weight Lopez is a small dude...

Most of the top guys at 140 right now outside of maybe Regis are pretty big like Taylor and Ramirez who are 5'9 5'10ish..

Good point. Why is Lopez fast tracked to a world title when he hasn't fought anyone significant of note prior? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Arum knows Loma will beat Lopez and will be an easy win for him to gain the IBF belt whereas Commey can be more of a challenge since he's more experienced than Lopez. The only way Commey wins is by KO or he be the busier fighter, otherwise the scorecards will favor Lopez. Either way, it's a 50/50 fight that no one can predict the outcome
