The next opponent for Lomachenko ?

ValMar · Post by **ValMar** » 13 Apr 2019, 14:41

Lomachenko said that he would not move up at LWW. So, what do you think who will be his next opponent (135) ?
I hope his injury is not serious.

im pretty sure they are trying to make a fight with commey. believe what you will, but arum said that commey and chaniev both signed in there contracts for there fight that if they won theyd face loma

berchelt is also with top rank and i think him and loma should fight eventually. maybe commey this year and berchelt next.

loma needs to at least one of berchelt or commey this year, then the other.

no chance they are making lopez vs loma next btw, not while one is a p4p star and the other is the hottest prospect/contender with plenty of time to spar. makes no sense to weaken one of these guys stocks when they are both soaring atm

ffs dont even list mikey or tank, anyone following knows neither are realistic fights any time soon. just stop

The best option is Garcia. Next goes Commey. Lopez didn't do enough for the shot. And Berchelt-Davis options are probably less possible in the nearest future anyway.

berchelts way more realistic then garca. berchelt has the same promoter as loma.

I have no problem with Commey fight. Someone can say he is on same level like Crolla, but at least he can punch and he has belt. Plus he is with Top rank so no problem to make that fight. Bring it on this summer. If Loma can beat him, Berchelt next, that mexican is one of my favorite boxers today

Edit: meanwhile, match Teofimo Lopez with decent oposition in 2019. If Garcia and Davis will be unavailable in 2020, Loma - Lopez can be bog deal too

The blood isn't yet dry on Crolla's scabs and we're talking about Loma's next fight?? Meh...why not.

Garcia will never fight a tr opponent and arum knows it. I'd like to see Berchelt. Commey is another mismatch.

I agree, but, he has a belt.

commeys a big lw who could maybe make it interesting if he can impose some of his strength. i think hed be an okay opponent given whats out there. but loma really needs to fight either berchelt, tank, or mikey to get a big win, and tank and mikey aint gonna happen.

so , i think a good path for realistic options would be commey and then berchelt. atm i think thats the best they can match loma with thats realistic

Personally I'd like to see Loma vs Davis. Atm Loma vs Mikey does not appeal me at 135 lbs. Berchelt is another solid fight for Loma.

I'm not complaining, it is what it is. It would just be his third straight fight I had no interest in.

tank vs loma is probably in my top 3 fights i want to see, along with craw vs spence and aj vs wilder

lol i might even pick tank for that

but aint gonna happen any time soon. aside from political barriers, i dont know whats been up with tanks matchmaking and progress. he has the talent to be matched much tougher and still breeze by. its crazy to me they pull up guys like 2.5 years inactive cullar and stuff

So Lomachenko says he wants Luke Campbell in the UK next.

Not too much more anticipated than the Crolla fight.

Arum also tries to arrange Commey to fight Lopez and drop his belt.

Then Arum has 2 champion stars at lightweight and can spend the next 18 months letting a fight between them marinate.

Onetimeonly · Post by **Onetimeonly** » 13 Apr 2019, 15:35

It's frustrating. I didn't mind the mares fight.

skanksta · Post by **skanksta** » 13 Apr 2019, 15:38

Campbell would be a good fight.
He's a similar shape to Pedraza and probably better. Add in home advantage and it's about as "loseable" as fights get for Loma.

Great ...waste prime years on UK level bums and then take beating from Davis or Berchelt in faded form. Pointless fight im hoping it is not going to happen. Or at least Campbell should defeat someone serious before thinking on Lomachenko

jamamb · Post by **jamamb** » 13 Apr 2019, 15:48

meh, campbell is better then crolla but i dont want him. campell should only come after a bigger fight for loma

berchelts with top rank, make it happen bobby!! then after that if loma wins he can go off to the uk for lukey

Why Crolla did not fought against Campbell before? I am sure it would be a big deal in UK and guys will earn more thar 300 thousands for that.

jamamb · Post by **jamamb** » 13 Apr 2019, 15:54

ya im not sure, maybe hearn figured it would still be marketable even if they took losses in bigger fights. seems like a sensible fight for him to make

Loma says a Campbell fight is significant because it matches 2 Olympic gold medalist.

Of course we saw the significance of that type of matchup when he fought Rigo, right?

It doesn't help that Campbell, like Crolla, dropped a fight to Lomachenko victim Linares.

Feasting on Linares' leftovers doesn't bolster the Lomachenko legacy.

jamamb · Post by **jamamb** » 13 Apr 2019, 15:56

lol sounds like even as a pro lomas still out for more amateur dominance

Onetimeonly · Post by **Onetimeonly** » 13 Apr 2019, 15:57

Berchelt would be a very live dog. He's an underrated fighter. Is definitely bet on tank against loma. Past that Lopez is the only guy.
