Well who should he fight then El Chicano? Quit your feigned ignorance in regards to the Loma-Mikey situation. It's wholly unbelievable and patronizing, its just another reason for you to take a swipe at Loma and denigrate his character, all the while knowing full well Mikey has no intention of working with Arum again. So... he's fighting a guy that lost to Tank Davis, you mean the same guy that just destroyed Cuellar and Walsh in 3? The guy that's never gone the distance as a pro and has a 100% KO ratio, that guy? Maybe Loma should be fighting a guy that went life and death with Fortuna, who Sosa violently KO'd, that went life and death with Commey, who Shafikov dominated, and went life and death with Shafikov and did about the same against him as Rene Alvarado. Pedraza is at times a brilliant fighter that just barely lost a round to Beltran, a guy many thought would beat him, except for me of course, and is as legit as they come.
It's not great but it isn't horrid. There aren't many fights that involve Loma where he isn't an an overwhelming favourite, unfortunately.
Is a better fight than the Beltrán fight, at least Pedraza is younger is a two weight class champion and had an excuse to be a bit drained in the Tank fight, still Pedraza passive style is wrong for Loma.
Pedraza was on the verge of stopping Tank before he got his 2nd wind, it seems as though people are forgetting this
Loma's coming off an injury, so Pedraza is a good tuneup fight, but after beating Pedraza he needs to step up the competition.
History is littered with two rival fighters having common opponents! 1 loss to a highly regarded champion at a lower weight is only hugely damaging (in terms of how he's viewed) to people who rely less on brain power & more on counting peas at meal time's.. Considering he's a rival champion who has Beltran & Farmer on his resume he's not that bad is he?? It's called unification.. Ever heard of it??? Solid opponent.
What does that have to do with anything??? If Canelo wanted he could've went fight a soft fighter for all that layoff, instead he had the ball's and went right after GG
