💪 Richard Commey is now back in training after suffering a hand injury which prevented him from fighting Vasyl Lomachenko on April 12th. The IBF lightweight champion's promoter Lou DiBella says they're targeting a June/July defence, then the Loma unification. [@ESPN]

Commey on a recent interview in his country also said he doesn't want his first title defense to be Loma someone who is regraded as the p4p because of the hand injury.
This sucks another missed chance to unify. idk who Loma could fight next. Loma came off a worse injury and went for a title but hope his next opponent is better.
This is all based on Mikey going back to 135, but if he does, Lomachenko may as well get ready to fight Teofimio Lopez

Yes he's "unifying and fighting mandatories" but where are the big fights? Someone who is #1 p4p needs to try to get the biggest names out there at whatever weight class.
Mayweather started at 130 and went up how many weight classes chasing the biggest fights possible?
When you are given that ranking as #1 p4p, you need to move up and down in the classes and challenge the best guys and biggest names, period. No excuses.
Commey isn't even that great of a fighter tbh, especially when you are the #1 p4p in the world.
When fighters start the pro game in their teens they're always gonna move up a few divisions as they mature. Fair play to Floyd he was willing to fight above his natural full grown size as a smallish WW for select elite fights, but then if there was an ODLH hovering at 140 Loma probably would too.
The point is well made though that Loma really needs to take on someone regarded as a challenge.

Yes they deserve credit for beating some great guys, but they don't get extra brownie points just for maturing physically in my book.

Mikey Garcia just went up to 147 to fight Errol Spence Jr. and he started at 126lbs. That's someone who is daring to be great. That is what Lomachenko needs to do. Loma should at least be able to fight a big name fighter at 140, or meet a Welterweight at a cw. If not, there are names at 130, he should move down and fight them.

Teofimo won't be able to make 135 lbs for much longer. Waiting another year all but guarantees we won't get to see this fight.
