Lomachenko's next fight will be at lightweight

Miguel wasn’t the fight the public was demanding. Rigo was the opponent everyone wanted Loma to face. Miguel wasn’t as aggressive as Rigo was in calling out Loma. Rigo was begging for the fight and it made sense.

The Magali fight wasn’t secured after the Loma/Rigo fight....Miguel was out of options when Mijares pulled out at the beginning of January and could have made a play for the Loma fight but instead went with a much safer option in Magali.

If you feel I’m ridiculous for pointing out what’s obvious that’s on you Chief. You’re entitled to your opinion but it doesn’t impact me in any way. You just come off silly

 

Yes because we all know that Bob Arum is going to promote a fight on 3 weeks notice.

 

That's fine, Loma fought Rigo which was an intersting fight on paper.

I have no issues with Loma fighting Rigo or Berchelt fighting Magali. What I find disingenuous is you and a couple other lomasexuals insinuating Berchelt ducked Loma. Comments like that hinder your credibility when discussing Lomachenko and boxing.

 

That guy is ridiculous. Not sure if he's trolling or he's actually delusuional and infatuated with Lomachenko.

 

Relax kid....no need to get all in your feelings and start with the “lomasexual” labels. I didn’t peg you for an emotional cornball but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Especially with your follow up statement pulling my credibility into question. Lol. Amazing. You’re insinuating Bob and Loma are avoiding Miguel which is funny.

How’s that for validating your credibility? Sheesh...see, this is why you come off silly kid. What’s disingenuous is Miguel’s empty intentions in calling out Loma. If he really wanted to fight Loma his actions would have mirrored or aligned with how Rigo went after the fight with Loma which was genuine. Be easy Chief

 

Who said Feb 10th had to be the date? I’m sure extending the training camp another 4-6 weeks wouldn’t have been a problem for Miguel to prepare for bigger fight with Loma. If he really wanted to fight Loma.

 

If Berchlet really wanted Loma, an offer could have been sent after the Mijares bout fell. He decided to fight God knows who.

Not everyone is jumping in to fight Loma.

 

You can’t make obvious statements like this and expect a logical response from some of these guys. It’s like Common sense and logic is an impossibility for them. I must admit.....reading their posts are entertaining but painful. Their struggle shouldn’t be so gratifying

 

You're coming off as very insecure. I don't believe for one minute that Loma is afraid of anyone. Im a Loma fan but I would have loved to see him up against Berchelt. That would in an indirectly way reedemed his one blemish. Im a bit interested to see how he does at LW, but him leaving SFW leaves you with this unfulfilled feeling. He hasn't cleaned out SWF, the top dog there is Berchelt. Loma hasn't beat the best fighter at SFW. Wish he would have fought him. I know Loma won't be outboxed by Linares, that fight is less intriguing to me.

 

That’s not my insecurities you are feeling Chief. Lol....that’s obvious with your compulsion to throw out the “lomasexual” tag out of feeling perilous. Don’t worry....I’m sure no one else noticed kid.

Ok...If you say you don’t believe Loma is afraid of anyone, I’ll take you at face value. I would have loved to see a Loma/Miguel unification bout at 130 as well. I actually would like to see Loma fight all the champions at 130 and attempt to unify, but I understand it’s highly unlikely.

Loma is a conundrum. Is facing a guy like Loma worth the risk for the monetary reward? Berchelt, Machado, Ogawa and even Davis have undefeated records, titles or both that they want to keep. If the financial gain made the risk worth while these guys would be knocking down Loma’s door begging for a fight even if the likelihood of losing their undefeated record or title was probable.

Leaving 130 to 135 is a move Loma may not have a choice in making. Rigo jumped up 2 weight classes to fight Loma not because he really wanted to....but because no one was willing to face him at 122. Loma is in a similar situation. You hear people mention Loma but no one is seriously making a play to really secure a fight with him at 130.

So, if Loma wants to stay busy, he’s forced to move up in weight where he will face bigger men who might be more willing to fight a dynamic fighter who they might view as too small to have the same kind of success he had in the lower weight classes.

Miguel may have the title at 130 with the most prestige.....but no one really considers him the he best while Loma is operating in the division. Once he moves up, Berchelt will be given the distinction by default and I think Miguel will welcome that.

Linares is a bigger threat to Loma than Berchelt. Two completely different styles but overall Jorge is more polished, bigger and more accomplished. Stylistically Miguel may have a form that would be more problematic for Loma? But the likelihood is slim.

 

Lomachenko had to move up because he could not get a fight at 130 lbs., I wish he could have fought the other champions at 130 but they refused.................

There are Lomanchenko fans and there are Lomasexuals. It's just a reality.

You are insinuating Berchelt is avoiding Lomachenko, I just stated my case why I think you're talking out if your ass.

Berchelt called out Lomachenko, but Loma did what he and Arum thought eas in his best interest, fair enough. Now Lomachenko is supposedly moving up to LW.

As much as I appreciate Lomachenko it leaves a bad taste to see him not fight the top dog at SFW.

Orlando Salido whooped Lomachenko's, ass. I'm sure Berchelt is the Type of fighter who isn't afraid of anybody, just like Salido, Vargas, or Muira.

Your post is a big justification for Loma not fighting Berchelt. First of all, as a Loma fan you're not require to defend his every move. He seems to want to move to the higher weight classes in search of bigger money, more power to him.

All I'm saying is it would be ideal from a fans perspective he fought Berchelt for more than one reason. He would unify, he would. He would be undisputed. He would in a way redeem himself somewhat for his loss too Salido by beating a PRIME, strong pressure fighter who seems to be the best of this era's SFW fab four.

For those reason its a more interesting fight than with Linares who we all know is not a better boxer than Loma and he is also not at his very best anymore.

 

Orlando Salido did a lot of things to Loma's balls but he did not whoop his ass. He was holding on for dear life in the final round and won a split decision. To top it off he couldn't even make weight. I wouldn't call that an ass whooping by any stretch of the word.

 

What ever makes you feel better I guess. Orlando won, past prime and out of shape. That's the bottom line.

A fight with Berchelt would have been awesome. I think there is still hope.
