    I mean your facing a gaurenteed L, where you will either quit and no one will want to watch you fight again ala Walters or you keep battling on while getting your brains beaten out and looking like a bar room drunk.

    No one in there right mind will face him unless they are getting retirement money like deontay welfare is trying to get

    Mikey seems to have high purse demands, he does seem to hinder his own career

    I disagree. He's not like GGG. Nobody wanted to fight G in his prime because it was guaranteed L along with an incredible amount of physical pain.

    Loma is the type of fighter to make you look outclassed, but not the type that makes you schedule an appointment with the ICU as soon as you sign the contract.

    I don't agree at all. Them guys at superfeatherweights are way more courageous than the reluctant featherweights who never fancied a Loma fight; Martinez, Walters, Sosa have already accepted the almost impossible challenge and Berchelt has confirmed he wants to unify titles with the Matrix.

    Rico thought he would win.
    Russell Jr was under the impression it was easy work.
    Martinez had loses already and wanted the fight.
    Same with Sosa
    Salido got home advantage and the power up boost of 100 ball punches
    Marriga aint a top name

    Undeafeted fighters like Valdez and the like will want no part of him

    None of the guys at 126 wanted to fight him apart from GRJ

    I'm guessing Loma could still make 126 if he wanted to, but moved up because of lack of opponents.

    Hopefully we can see Loma vs Berchelt next as this is a great fight, Tank's team has already said they won't put him in with Loma.

    It won't be hard at all. Garcia will happily take the fight. No one is out ducking Lomachenko. He has been able to make the fights and has done well. But he isn't out there putting guys to sleep. There is nothing to fear other than getting outclassed.

    Rocky would tell you otherwise, Loma is scary in the 2nd halves of his fights, he steps up his pressure while his opponents gas and then he starts delievering the big shots, lets not forget Loma is right handed and he is a southpaw so that mitigates some of his power.

    It was
    It is
    It's going to be. :)

    Well, maybe it will be easier to get good opponents to fight him at 135 because Loma is not a natural lightweighter. But, maybe not, because from the other perspective it would be more shameful for them to lose to a "smaller guy". :)
