    Gervonta ducked Lomachenko but is he about to duck Mikey Garcia and Easter Jr too?
    Where's the Haymon brigade?

    That's the same impression I have, too. He is a good sized 130lber.
    Lomaphobia is making him too scared to make weight.

    Lol, they have Davis in a tight corner here. Massive blow if he doesn't get to fight tomorrow with 10s of millions watching. He'll have to pay Fonseca whatever is demanded.

    Well that was predictable. He ain't gonna make 135 long either, that guy is huge.

    I honestly think Davis moves up to 135 after this fight, upon which I don't think we'll see him being maneuvered into a title fight at Lightweight for a while yet.

    Lomaphobia (noun): An abject fear of being showboated on, embarrassed and thoroughly outclassed by the Hi-Tech one, Vasyl Lomachenko. :sisi1

    I think we should call it Islomaphobia for added effect.

    The way he looks and fights, I do expect the jump up in weight to be difficult for him.

    That's essentially what Walters was afflicted with during the fight with Loma. :lol:

    22 and cant make weight? He needs to move up hes outgrown the division. With that said he should be fined and I hope his opponent is compensated.

    I hope the opponent pulls out of the fight... lol .. he could basically have TMT by the balls, and demand a lot of money... unless they want the event hurt and not have Davis fight, they would have to give up 100% of Davis purse... lol

    As long as hes unbeaten he will get no where near Loma or any other real threat.
