loma should drop to 130 after pedraza

[jamamb]

stronger talk of mikey fighting spence, and with mikeys top rank history im not sure he ever fights loma. who else really is there at 135? some okay guys like campbell, pedraza, easter, etc...but really none interesting. i think crolla might soon be his mandatory too and thats just 'ehhhh'

i watched machado ko corralles and just the other night blitz evans, and 130 has him, berchelt, and tank at least. also puts loma in closer range to the top 126 fighters if they move up. guys like santa cruz, valdez, frampton, etc

[Ruthless-RKO]

Loma said his limit will be 135. He isn’t fully at the weight but in a year or so he will be. I think at the moment, he could drop down to 130. Still some good fights there and he hasn’t attempted to unify. But no harm in switching between the 2 weights.

If Mikey moves up - you are right, definitely.

[jamamb]

and i believe this as much as ever

without mikey, 130 has much more interesting fights. berchelt and tank. machado. and imo its lomas ideal weight too

[Mexi-Box]

Lomachenko doesn't seem the type to drop down. He didn't even want to do it for Rigondeaux, and I remember he didn't even want a rehydration clause when he was at FW. I have doubts he's even considering it.

Campbell is a nice fight, and really, who knows how much longer Davis can even make the SFW limit. It's been, what, two fights that he had weight issues?

[jamamb]

i think anthony crolla is his wba mandatory, that just doesnt interest me at all. the fights at 130 are more significant imo barring mikey. it is true though, guys at 130 could move up soon, tank has weight issues and berchelt and machado are big guys at 130

[Mexi-Box]

Crolla would be a woeful fight, but luckily, the WBA hardly ever enforces a mandatory. They usually just stack up a ton of belts. By the way, 135 is looking really bad at the moment with Mikey leaving. I mean who else is there? Campbell is a good fighter, probably the best contender at the moment.

There is only one good prospect coming up too in Devin Haney. Outside of these two fighters, who else is there? Commey is just a solid fighter, that's all I can really say about him. He went close with Shafikov and Easter Jr., but really, all three lose to Lomachenko.

Campbell is a big, well-rounded fighter.

[victor-romeo]

130 probably be a better weight for him...

[jamamb]

someone just told me commey is fighting a russian guy for the ibf next year on espn, and that arum plans the winner of that vs loma on espn for 3 titles

[Mexi-Box]

Isa Chaniev is the next contender is seems for the IBF. I've never seen this guy fight, though. Barroso at 135 is a solid win, but holy crap, losing to Papazov is really bad.

[jamamb]

ya thats the russian guy, tbh i havent seen him fight but just looking over his record it seems like commey should be a comfortable favorite over him, commey only ever lost very close to guys i doubt chaniev is as good as

commey would be a lot bigger then loma, though he did lose to pretty smallish lw shafikov. i did actually have commey just barely beating easter actually though it was super close

Same as me. Thought he lost close but clear to Shafikov but beat Easter in a razor close fight (could've gone either way, though).

[Perkin Warbeck]

I agree. He's too small for 135, and there's several interesting opponents for him at 130, such as Davis..

[apollo creed]

Also I think 135 is his limit. Loma vs Mikey and then Gervonta would be some big fights.

I am very curious about GTank. Who will show up v Mares. I would think that the time is now for Davis to step up and go to work.

[DrDuke]

It's a good option considering the fact, that Garcia is fighting Spence, and no one knows, what will happen after that. Will Mikey stay in hospital for too long or will he just remain at that weight, or maybe he even wins and moves to the HWs. Loma can't wait for all that stuff. And the biggest challenges and thus most interesting options are in 130, those are Berchelt and Davis. Either some of them moves up, or Loma moves down, those fights just must happen now.

[skanksta]

I think Loma should go back to 130, but I'd like to see him vs Luke Campbell.

[IKSRTFO]

He should stay at 135. He is the A side and the other should move up to fight him. The biggest fight for him at 130 is Tank and from the looks of it, Tank won't be at 130 that long.

[Stuarty]

As long as he doesn't fight Crolla next. Hate the idea of that fight!
