    He is still operating at a high level and nearly won the undisputed championship at 135, most thinking he won. He still has several fights left in him. He should try and get the rematch with Haney and if not get big money fights with Stevenson, Davis, and medium level money with Kombosos. I don’t see a reason to stop now. Good chance he could beat Haney in a rematch if he dominates more rounds and there is also a chance Haney moves up giving Lomachenko the chance to dominate everyone else. 135 is a hot division if everyone fights.

    Loma has no reason to retire. Still a top P4P fighter, 3 division champ. He has a few good fights left in him. Where to go next is the big question. Haney has refused to give a rematch thus far. I don’t know.

    Well, contrary to popular belief on this forum, I don't think that Loma won and his best move is to go back down. After listening to him crying and whining that Haney was bigger than him, that seems to be his best move because it will only get worse. Tank, Stevenson and Martin will prove too much for the old man, plus those gents can crack. No way to go but down or out.

    I'd still like to see him fight Tank. That would be a great fight.

    I think that Frank Martin stops him as well.

    I guess he's suing the city on the grounds that foreigners should not have to pay thousands of dollars for the lifesaving services of a wambulance. He's used to a free one but they've charged him like 12k for calling recently to come out.

    Do you find it sad that Lomachenko has never had an omelet? Because he's never been able to crack an egg?

    Loma can go down and win at least two belts at 130.

    If Haney moves up, he can win two belts at 135. beating Frank Martin, Muratalla and Zepeda

    All of them except a few tiny states. Do you think EE fighters fight in the US for no reason?

    If the stadium is small enough and the ticket is cheap enough, yes. But the money is obviously nowhere close to being as good as in the US/UK.
