Is Loma/Lopez still on? Has it even been offficially announced?

Yep, not getting any hype at all. I hope it's still on. The fight was penciled in for April and we are almost mid-March now.

I can't find any updates on the status of this fight... Anyone know... Sucks if it gets canceled, it was the most anticipated fight of the year for me.

The fight hasn't been finalized. Team Lopez said June is the target

Last I heard they were debating the venue.

Well, nothing is going to get announced any time soon now. But word was that they were targeting late May for that fight. Also probably waiting to see what month Spence and Pacquiao come back since their fights will be PPV in all likelihood. Unless Pacquiao fights overseas and Spence gets a tune up fight.

Lomachenko has been dragging his feet.

With the Corinavirus pandemic going on and with Teofimo not being able to make the weight much longer we might never see this fight happen now.

Stay tuned.

i agree...and i think TR has been hoping it wouldnt happen...it doesnt make a ton of sense for them as a company although its a very intriguing fight the real fight fans would love

loma has even expressed that, as a company, TR would likely prefer lopez win....as another poster pointed out, in another thread, both guys are probably going to want real good money and its unsure if it could be met realistically....

we shall see....the longer it goes the tougher its gonna be for lopez to make 135...i think thats what TR and loma are kind of hoping

Last I read, it was penciled in for May 30th at MSG. Nothing final yet. That was two weeks ago.
