Comments Thread For: Arum Eyeing Lomachenko Comeback Fight Against Masayoshi Nakatani In Summer

Nakatani deserves this fight and it makes sense for a Loma comeback fight.

I'd argue this IS a confidence builder. Let's not forgot Loma lost to perhaps one of the next gen stars & Nakatani almost lost to a guy most perceive as a failure. I dig Nakatani, but let's not make him someone he isn't.

And I agree mentally Loma didn't deal with this L well, but there are still levels to this. Loma has far more tools than Deontay. I think both guys fell into guys prepared to beat them like no one they've faced before, but Deontay lives & dies with the confidence he needs two perfect seconds in a fight to win & Loma strives for perfection all night.

We can bet points if it happens without Loma having a tune up first. I'm willing to bet all my points on Nakatani.

Felix was beaten him. The only reason he got the loss is because he got tired. He didn't pace himself and was zeroing on the ko. He was competing against Teo not the fighter in front of him.

That's Verdejo's problem. It wasn't a 5-round fight.

TANK,HANEY or GARCIA should be next for Lomo.

Garcia and Haney would be easier for Loma than Nakatani. I consider Haney and Garcia contenders.

I think this is the ideal scenario: Loma fights the winner of Berchelt vs. Valdez, Stevenson fights the winner of Herring vs. Frampton, the winners unify at 130! All in-house fights for TR and ESPN, and if it's Loma vs. Stevenson, that's HUGE!

Loma can't make 130 as I keep telling people. He'll stick to 135.

Why is this such an amazing matchup that it won't happen?

Nakatani isn't unbeatable. I picked him to beat Felix but he had a harder time doing it than I expected. Loma is far more slicker than Felix. This is probably a 70/30 Loma leaning fight.

He just lost pretty handily. And Tanaka is not a walk in the park. Only seen him two times, vs Verdejo and Lopez and he didn’t look like an easy opponent. All fighters of all levels, even elite, are allowed a “comeback” fight after a loss. But still, Nakatani is not an easy comeback fight. It’s not like he’s a Steve Rolls level opponent.

Lol pathetic

Why not Loma vs Garcia or Haney or tank?

Ehhh well see. Arum and his typical bs. Haney should take this fight if queen Ryan and Fortuna avoid him
