    I don't care who Loma fights next as long as it's not Kambosos because that should be Haney's fight. Loma need to get in line. He ain't did nothing but beat an ok fighter and washed up Commey coming off a knockout loss and doing nothing in between. He don't get bumped up for that.

    Loma beat Nakatani and Commey in dominant fashion after the Lopez loss. Both guys came off KO wins prior to the Loma fights. Haney struggled with 130 pounder Jojo Diaz and was lucky to get the decision. Jojo isn’t even a legit LW. What did Haney do to deserve the title shot over Loma? I’d be cool with a Loma Haney fight to determine who gets the shot at Kambosos. Loma will give the young man a boxing lesson and go on to beat Kambosos. Haney is a good young fighter but hasn’t looked great in any fight. Jojo was hand picked for Haney to KO and he didn’t come close.

    It doesn't matter what Loma did. He lost to Lopez and Haney has not lost yet, plus he asked for the Loma fight and the Tank fight. He has a belt, a belt that Loma gave up because of him. He asked to replace Rolondo for the Tank fight and was denied. Say what you may but he is not getting neglected because he can't fight. Haney is the main reason Lopez chose to fight Kambosos. Lopez didn't have to fight Loma because of the no rematch clause in their contract. Haney was the elephant in the room for him. Now that he has gotten knocked out of the box, Haney is the legitimate first in line challenger. I have very little respect for Loma's two wins because I know the caliber of fighters he fought and I am not impressed. He hasn't beaten Haney and he needs to wait in line for the winner of the Haney vs Kambosos fight.

    Who has Haney fought? Jojo Diaz? Kambosos said he’d fight the contender who looked best in his fight. If that was true, no way would anyone pick Haney. When Loma fights Haney (assuming he doesn’t vacate and move to 140 after the Kambosos fight if he wins) don’t be a stranger. Loma will give him a proper beating and boxing lesson. Tank is out of the picture because he won’t fight a real opponent. Teo picked George as his first defense because he thought it was an easy fight. Glad he lost. Kambosos Loma is a bigger fight than Haney.

    Loma’s last two opponents are better than anyone Haney has fought as a pro. The fact that you weren’t impressed but are impressed with Haney is all I need to know. Of all the lightweights, Loma is the only one who will fight anyone. If Haney gets the Kambosos fight he doesn’t deserve, I hope we don’t get more excuses and he fights Loma immediately.

    It's not about what Loma did and what he did is only a matter of opinion, same as Haney. I think Haney looked great in all his fights. Fact is that Haney has not lost a fight and it Loma's wanted to fight him then he could have. He is in line for a shot at them belts and he should get it. I don't care nothing about any bigger fight. Then again, that's not a proven fact. It's not about who wins or lose with me but about a fighter getting his fair shot at the belts. You talking about Loma will fight anyone. Haney called out everybody and was still calling them out before the Teo and Kambosos fight. Loma needs to get his ass in line.

    It is unfortunate that you chose to share such an unconstructive words when you can share your opinion on the very topic. I don't mind with the Loma bashing, but you could have positively joined in the discussion by sharing your idea of who Loma can fight next instead of "I don't care"

    If Hearn is a man of his words, Loma can fight Haney or Kambosos next depending on who wins in a fight between them. And if that's the situation, I hope Kambosos will beat Haney. Because I have the feeling that Haney is going to hold hostage of the titles.

    Loma needs fights to stay active. Seriously, I don't mind him facing Lopez again if he can still make it to the scale.

    Whoever he can. I’m sure he’d want Kambosos for all the belts, I doubt Kambosos wants it though. Understandably, both from a reward and risk perspective. Lomachenko messed up fighting against Lopez when he was injured, Lomachenko had a hard enough time getting fights when he had the belts. To throw them away like that, good luck getting big fights now. He needs to start talking trash and calling out guys, I doubt that’s going to happen though.
