Lomachenko's team knew that Commey was "out of his depth" when they cherry picked him as an opponent. The guy is slow as molasses and stiff as cardboard.
Winner of Loma/Commey would become the WBO mandatory, dummy. Who is Lomachenko supposed to fight without the belts? Garcia doesn't fight, Twink will not fight, Haney got the belt he wanted. He doesn't bring huge money but a lot of risk. Going the mandatory route is the only option.
Money wise for Kambosos, Loma is the guy. This is the most logical fight to make. Loma comfortably beats Kambosos, even a stoppage in the late rounds.
This would be a fairly lopsided fight in favor of Loma. Out of everyone left (Tank, Garcia, Haney, Loma), Loma would be the absolute worst fight for Kambosos and I wouldn't give him much chance at all.
He is also #5 in WBC and Ring Magazine. He is without a doubt a lightweight elite. And even funnier, people tend to forget that he was a world champion. If Kambosos doesn't want to fight him, it'd be really hard to find high-rated opponent for Loma. Not easy to convince other guys like Tank, Garcia or Haney to fight him
Yeah, he should have fought a young inexperienced fighter (midget) like Cruz or a 130 pound feather fist moving up like Jojo. Right? Commey was a risky opponent, larger guy with legit KO power. Loma earned the shot at Kambosos and would be a betting favorite in the fight. If Haney or Tank doesn’t get the shot, who do you think they will fight? Definitely not each other. Definitely not an opponent as dangerous as Commey. Commey would be the best opponent either guy has faced. He might actually beat those guys.
Loma would win and quite easily too. Stylistically this is much better for him than vs Lopez. (I do really like Kambosos btw and would root for him - but just being honest, this is tough for him).
