Loma vs Sosa

Post by EdwinValero »

I am quite pleased that this fight has been made. I was very impressed with Sosa when he fought Smith in Monaco. I think this is a tougher fight for Loma than Walters, however I still fully expect him to win.

Elsewhere what are everyones thoughts on Gervonta Davis fighting Walters to set up a showdown with Loma?

Lomachenko is on another level, dominant display with a likely KO.

I think Gervonta Davis gets picked apart too. Lot of hype surrounding this kid. Looks quite special but a bit early for him to be stepping to this level

Sosa is awful.

Lomachenko should be aiming higher than this.

Was having this discussion with a Mexican sports writer the other day. He reckons the ONLY fight out there is Loma v Mikey Garcia. And Garcia wins as he has 'the power'.

I was surprised by the Davis Pedroza outcome. But there's no rush for Davis. He and Walters would be a good fight although it's about time Steven Smith got another title shot :D

All Smiths should recieve at least 2 title shots every 12 months until they win one :TU:

After being the 1st 4 brothers to all win Lonsdale belts, I think their next aim should be the 1st 4 brothers to hold WBA "Regular" titles

Too soon for Davis no way his team will let him in with Loma this year although it would be great if they did. Most of that list have just fought and aren't much better than Sosa if at all.

They are all better than Sosa.

Sosa is just a strong plodder.

He beats everyone on that list comfortably.. Sosa is a unification fight. I hope he wins and moves up to lightweight.. Mickey Garcia v Lomachenko is the big fight I want to see.. Can see Garcia's team staying away from that one. I heard it's been offered at Feather and Super Feather and refused

I'd like to see Loma-Salido II and then maybe Davis next year depending on how he progresses.

That's your opinion, but he's not done it yet and already has a loss to one person on that list.

That's what we trade in here Horse, opinions.

Honestly, do you see any of those names beating Lomachenko, even the guy who already has?

I think most of them are not even competitive

Lomachenko might as well retire then.

He's beaten everyone (in theory).

Have you watched the Salido fight?? Anyone who matters in boxing know who won that fight. Salido cheated before and during the fight.. Lomachenko was a bit green in the pro's can see now just how brutal he is... Why give Salido the pay day?? As for the rest I don't see many of them taking the fight.. What is their to prove Walters was probably the best outwith Lomachenko in the division.. Davis might well be next best but he has a very hard fight against Liam Walsh which he may lose..

Lomachenko is the best Amateur ever... He wants to leave a legacy and be the best boxer ever.. To do that he needs to move up and beat some superstars. A fight against Garcia will be his biggest win and probably make him p4p king no but your right horse he should fight Salido or Berchelt.

To avenge his defeat and because Salido is one of the top fighters in the division.

What is there to prove? What is there to prove?!

How about proving that he can beat all of those world class fighters?

Why bother fighting anyone?

Then Lomachenko can fight Walsh if he wins.

Lomachenko should stay and prove he is the best.

He is the best in the division.. None of the fighters you have mention are elite fighters. They are just fringe World Class.. Lomachenko is an Elite fighter.. The best Featherweight and Superfeather weight in the world.. Next to prove he is the best lightweight in the world.. See how this works.. Meaningful fights for probably the best fighter on the planet. Salido has drawn his last 2 fights to Martinez and Vargas. Whatever you are sniffing can I please have some

Lomachenko has never been the undisputed champion of any weight.

Lomachenko should stop running and prove himself at super featherweight.

I don't think many of those guys are above Sosa's level

Since you bizarrely had Smith beating him by three points, claiming that 'Sosa was wack' and that 'Smith won it easily', your negativity in this thread comes as no surprise. Would Loma-Smith be a better fight in your opinion?

In disappointed because I thought I was going to be Jezreel Corrales who is the actual WBA champion.

It does seem like Salido ducked the fight.
