Arum wants Loma vs Tank unification in November (UPDATE: LOMA NOT FIGHTIN' THIS YEAR!)

Thanks, homie.

Arum has indicated that Loma will fight in the first half of 2025.

He's hunting the winner of Davis-Stevenson.

 

Shakur still needs another 20 hopeless opponents before making it there.

Really hope Tank vs Lomachenko will happen. That will be an insane fight.

 

I think Loma should do a smash and grab job at 140 and become a 4 weight champion ... against someone like Paro for instance .. a winnable fight .. go out on a high.. istead of handing the torch to these LW Queens (barring Lopez) that acted like he didn't exist until he hit his mid 30s .. the systems already screwed him over why allow them to do it again.. Davis Would barely mention this guy's name for a decade .. how pathetic..

 

Just saw this post, Kirk.
Tank needed an edge. He was mentored by Floyd, so he had tank wait til the odds turned more favorable. I don’t like it, but he’s made tank a lot of money, and made him a ppv attraction, running the Floyd playbook.

 

Surprising if Shakur and Tank is actually being planned for late in the year! I'll be shocked if Tank accepts the fight.

 

Great idea. He could certainly compete with Paro at 140.

 

Shakur has consistently being saying he wants Loma for the last 2,5 years at least, back when Shakur still was at 130.

 

That would be great. I have Stevenson as favourite in this one, but think Loma has a better shot against him than against Tank. Styles.

 

As much as I would love to watch this fight, I highly doubt it happens.

 

I agree, against shakur he would be competitive the whole way, possibly beat him with his experience. Against tank he would look great, til tank finds a hole.

 

Or if we get a Lopez situation, where Loma is so wary of his power that he throws away the first half and loses on the cards. I think Tank is a more dangerous puncher than Lopez at 135.

Stevenson suits him better IMO. Loma has showed zero interest in facing him so far, though.

 

I could see Stevenson stinking out the joint and winning this fight. He’s got the skill set to do it. Tank will be looking for that one punch that never comes and Shakur out point him.

 

What a pathetic line of reasoning. He should just fight the best lightweights and can make the most money doing it too. Linares put peak Chenko on his ass. He’s never actually been as good as Tank at 135.

 

Not enough pop.
