    I'm hearing the odd murmuring of this fight... A possibility next? Good opponent if so...

    Is that the guy who decimated Guerrero?
    Just realised that was a few weight divisions higher?

    Ah right so l was right,should gone with my instincts,this place makes me feel like a casual lol.
    That would be a terrific fight,did you see what he did to Guerrero it was mental?
    In round one you thought Guerrero looked comfortable and then after that it was pure mayhem with Guerrero just coming forward and getting his head knocked off with brutal uppercuts,since then I’ve been dying to see him in action again.
    Would be interesting to see Lomo cope with someone who has that power and to see how he does against a guy that will try and do a Salido on him.

    YT has an interview with him in which he discusses the Loma fight & in fact compares himself somewhat to Salidos style I think..

    Problem is, using Salido as the blueprint (if that's what he's relying on should it happen) on how to potentially beat a 2018 Lomachenko is flawed IMO.. You outweigh him, beat him via illegal means (low blows & spoiling) & at the greenhorn stage of his career. Any boxer citing Salido may as well give it up before they've even started.

    Hey, he may be right! I doubt it but its possible lol

    I dunno if he would be able to get down that low in weight again though... Figueroa is fun as hell too watch though

    Mikey is the best at 135.. He doesn't need to run from Lomachenko.
