Lomachenko's come back

[KTFOKING]

Lopez can run like a thief with this win and go to 140, but it will taint his legacy if he doesn’t offer a rematch. A rematch would be lucrative and if he wins he removes all doubt. There isn’t a bigger payday waiting for him at 140. He will end up regretting his refusal to rematch much like Canelo is now with GGG. He played hard to get and now DAZN can’t pay him is $36+ per fight because no one cares about Canelo fighting scrubs at 160/8.

Oh give me a damn break. Legacy will be tainted? Buddy, if Lomachenko's side wanted to force a rematch clause, they could have done exactly that.

Definitely not a fight I would mind. If they run it back? Great! But that is not a bigger money fight than fighting Garcia or Tank next year. It will all be a moot point if he moves to 140 as many are predicting him to do.

As with all great fighters, they can lose and they must come back. If Lomachenko wants to be great, this is what he has to do. A bit curious why he didnt talk of a rematch instantly, heck look at how WHyte recently handled his defeat.

I know Lopez afterward stated that there was no rematch clause but there doesnt have to be, this is now the biggest money fight in the division. That should be LOma's goal, if no immediate rematch then he isn't willing to risk everything for greatness.

What say you?

Yes, that is quite alarming.

Notice how Lennox Lewis immediately after his loss to Rahman stated 'My belts are on loan'.

A Loma rematch will be the most lucrative fight he can make. A move to 140 will not be so lucrative, there is no money there unless he can get Mikey down to 140. Even then, Mikey’s stock has dropped some, so I’m not sure if there is enough meat on the bone for each fighter to get paid what they want.

How do you know there won't be a more lucrative fight? Will the Lomachenko rematch be on PPV or something?

The kid is having trouble making 135, that has been known for a while. The move to 140 is coming within a year. Facing the winner of Ramirez/Taylor would be a very good fight.

[Lomadeaux]

He cant win a rematch Teo is too big and strong for Loma so there is no point in a rematch just another loss, he has to move down to 130 he is not big enough and has not enough pop at 135.

You might not want the rematch to happen. That could be what you mean.

[Eff Pandas]

Loma was/is great. He just lost a fight. Regardless of what happens from here out he'll still be great.

[tritium_arma]

Either fight Shakur or rematch Lopez but this time Lopez will be getting what Loma was getting (3 million plus) and vice versa.

Exactly!

Not to mention AJ and Whyte in recent times. Loma looked well and truly beaten.

[soul_survivor]

It's not up to Lomachenko if he gets the rematch or not. Lopez will have to give him a rematch and I don't see it happening. The kid is going to move up to 140 either in his next fight or the following fight and Lomachenko likely moves down to 130.

Lomachenko can prove his greatness at 130 fighting some more young studs like Stevenson or a proven champ in Berchelt.

Huh? I'm not saying he can make the rematch, I'm saying he should have called for it.

He needs to revisit 130 imo. There are plenty of great fights to be made. Betcha Lopez moves to 140 asap.

Using size as an excuse is nonsense. He fought at 132 lb as an amateur on multiple occasions and hasnt fought at super feather for 3 + years. You are all acting as if he just jumped weight to make this fight lol

Lomachenko COULD have put a rematch clause in the contract when this fight was made. His side did not want one since they probably thought this would be an easy win.
