Team Lomachenko: Manny Pacquiao Fight Happens ONLY @ 135 — NO CATCHWEIGHT.

Actually hes targeting Beltran

Not Mikey

 

Less interested in this fight than I am to see either man facing Mickey Garcia.

 

Pac was champ at 130, moved up to 135lb to claim the LW belt, then moved up 2 weight divisions to fight a 35yr old dela hoya.

Loma was champ at 130, moved up to 135lb to claim the LW belt, and now cant move up to to 136 to fight a would be 40yr old Pac.

And people downplay Pac's climb in the weight.

Both guys are the same size more or less, at every stage of their age, they fought on the same weight class, except Pac made that leap and stayed there.

 

Pac > Loma

 

Beltran was a stay busy to snag the last remaining strap. It's pretty clear the setup was for Loma to take out Beltran and Mikey to get Easter's belt so their fight would be for all the marbles.

 

Yeap. I've mentioned this before. Loma wants no part of becoming a HUGE name. It high risk for high reward.

Fishnets was 35 yrs old. Pac is 4-5 years OLDER and Team Lomo want to part of the senior citizen!

 

If loma can't fight Mikey next he needs to target pac thats the best option for him.

 

Loma was small at 135. Pac would be badly drained going too low at his age. Sucks, but just how it is.

 

That's why... catchweight. Pac went up two and Fishnets went down one weight. But for Loma and his team to just flat out say no catchweight, its another way of saying no way Jose!

Think back to when PBF and Pac beat Fishnets. They both beat him cleanly, some more than others, but those huge wins turned those two into PPV sensations. Today, we have no PPV stars for except AJ in the UK. Fighters today are kinda lame.

 

So? DLH made that mistake himself. Do others have to repeat it now? We'd be expecting Pac to shed another 8 pounds. That could be the difference between looking fine against a shot fighter and getting decimated versus one in his prime. Be a possible replay of PAc -DLH all over again.
