Lomachenko left the division without having faced it's best fighters. Davis, Berchelt, Machado, Roman. Sure Davis wasn't his fault, Floyd was reluctant to make that fight so soon in Davis career. But moving up in weight without having fought any of the three or four best 130 pounders is fairly selective matchmaking. Especially when the first three are all better fights than Pedraza at this point. And had Loma stayed and fought Berchelt or Machado, Tank probably would be ready now.
Farmer is about to get his **** pushed in by Tennyson. He is the definition of all flash, no substance. Loma-Tank ain't happening because Tank's handlers wont let it happen. Just look at the statements they made when Tank beat Pedraza. "we ain“t ready" And Garcia is busy calling out everyone and fighting no one.
Which is why I wanted him to stay and fight Berchelt at 130 instead of fighting Linares at 135. He could have forced Tank to fight him now we may never get to see that fight.
Right now Tank should worry about turning into Broner 2.0. He looks like he's about 185 pounds and just got arrested. His career will be over soon if he doesn't pull his head out. Only 23, has missed weight numerous times, seems to be be waaay out of shape between fights, and can't stay out of trouble. Not a good recipe for a long career. Farmer should be the least of his worries right now.
He is fighting WBO champion. That could have been Beltran. Both boxers signed the agreement of the champion of the bout will face Loma next.
