Do you think Loma has time to reach up to 25-30 fights before he's done?

    What do you think? Assuming that he can get at least 4 fights a year can he actually finish his boxing career in a span of 30 fights before he decides to hang them up? I think it's pretty doable but he would really not take any time off if he wants to continue to excel and reach up to that many fights.

    He’ll get to 25-30 fights. He has good defense and hardly ever gets hit with flush shots. Yes his face marks up easy but so did both Klitschko brothers and look at their longevity. Loma also lives a healthy and clean lifestyle and that will help.

    He will reach it for sure... Even over 30 fights. He is pretty active and the only reason not reaching that kind of number is getting badly injured. Which I hope won't happen!

    Why does it matter? We don’t talk about other fighters making it to 45-50 fights (which is the equivalent of Loma making it to 25-30 fights). Bit of an odd question. Wilder is at 40 fights and he hasn’t even had 10 real fights yet. Arbitrary numbers, why is it even a conversation?

    Youd hope so. But shoulder injuries and dislocations are bad news for boxers, particularly high work rate ones. Hopefully its a non issue going forward. But if the shoulder aint working 100%, i doubt he gets to 30 fights, especially as he isnt a youngster

    I think 25-30 is where he winds up. He's at 13 fights now at age 30. He'll have to keep up a 3 fight per year schedule to make it to 28 fights by the time he's 35.

    Eventually, motivation could become an issue. He's given his life to the sport from when he was a kid.

    I could see him walking away when he feels like he's done enough or if he's noticing a slide, even if there's more wins on the table.

    Hell no, I would be surprised if he hits the 20 fight mark

    i give him 5 more fights before some youngster in his prime outworks him. unless he gets down to 130, where i think he can reign even after he starts to slip.

    He's at the point in his career where he'll only be fighting twice a year from now on so I doubt it
