Loma need to drop back down.

He doesn't have to drop back down, but it would be better for him as far as winning fights go. Lopez was significantly bigger, stronger and hit harder. He didn't just have small advantages in these categories. He was ridiculously stronger.

 

Lol, what? They didn't go down after after losing close fights. Lomachenko is cutting from 145lbs to get down to 135. Pac and Floyd basically weighed 147 naturally. Their trips to 154 were one time deals, they weren't campaigning at those weights.

Dude, have more faith in Loma. He could potentially win a rematch.

 

No because they jumped up in weight for super fights and never campaigned at the weights. Floyd would jump up every now and then for big money fights but he didn't ever consider himself a 154 pounder. He'd give up the belts immediately.

I honestly think Loma should stay at 35. More prestige in that class and I truly believe he has more left in the tank. He lost a close fight. He can avenge it down the road maybe.

 

You need to learn how to spell that man's name.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Yall acting like loma got beat up and bullied last night he didn't. He's fine at 135 he was the ring champ there for a reason.

 

Losing comes with the territory when you are trying to challenge yourself. If anything, that should be respected. Mayweather's may be one of the few to have gone undefeated, but Pac, SRL, SRR, ODLH, Trinidad, etc. they all got beat going up in weight and I don't respect them any less. Even Mayweather had to dig deep against some of his challenges. That's what makes boxing interesting to see if they can overcome challenges. If fighters aren't challenging themselves it's boring to watch.

 

It's difficult to beat a guy who is far bigger, stronger and harder punching than you are. I'm not taking credit away from Lopez. I'm just stating facts. Lopez said before the fight that he was way too big and strong for Loma and would send him back down to 130. He made good on his words. He backed it up.

 

Pac and Loma are the same size and Pac had major success even higher than 135. Loma is not a physically strong man, he doesn't punch hard, and he doesn't appear to want bite down on his mouthpiece and go in the trenches against a bigger stronger, harder punching man. Pac was smaller than Cotto, Cotto was stronger and Cotto hit harder than Pac too. But that didn't stop Pac from getting up into his grill.

 

But Loma is a phenomenal boxer whether you like him or not. Whether he won or lost. I actually saw Loma do good things against Teo. He didn't get mauled and knocked out. He held his own in my opinion and even had Teo clinching at one point.

Just being a title holder isnt enough for Loma. He wants to be great. I honestly don't see him moving back down unless a big fight presents itself. Right now all the big fights are at 35.
