    Maybe that break was good for his body. I think the last fight he was in his nose was broken and he was fading from all that weight cutting. He has 32 fights and has a long way to go.
    Now he can add on to his legacy, he is still young.

    He doesn't deserve number 1 at 130 after this fight. Jezreel Corrales and the Salido-Vargas winner will be ahead of him.

    He's competing against Juan Francisco Estrada, Donnie Nietes, Canelo Alvarez and Tyson Fury for a place on P4P list.
    I think this win would make him borderline, and if he beats Salido-Vargas winner, that'd put him near the top of the list.

    Of Corrales, I have only seen the Corrales-Uchiyama fight.
    Corrales was a very smart man in the ring, he studied Uchiyama meticulously before the fight and was just a master of feinting in that fight.

    Salido and Vargas would still give him problems IMO. Like Mayweather vs Castillo and Maidana.

    It's a tough division for him but if he successfully weathers the storm, it puts to bed any argument that Loma is not an ATG in the pros IMO.

    Corrales put on a masterclass, I explained it here. Those wild punches were very purposeful. I think he'd have more trouble reading Lomachenko, though.

    Thankfully Mikey is coming back. I wonder how good he'll look with ring rust and being at a higher weight class.

    Corrales is a strange fighter to figure out very awkward to me but also very smart and explosive. I think Loma would beat him but I don't think it would be as easy for him as a lot of people think. IMO he would make easy work of Vargas and I hope that he gets a rematch with Salido so he can destroy him once and for all. I'm rooting for Salido to beat Vargas for that very reason.:yep:good

    His power moving up in weight should be more of a concern than anything else really. The guy was a great puncher at 126 and a good puncher at 130. I don't think his power will have the same effect as it did at those lower weights.
