    It's amusing to see some people think this fight to be uninteresting.

    Despite of his KO loss to Teofimo, Commey is still a world champ and a world ranker, even #4 in Ring rating. This is a very logical choice since the #2 won't fight him and #3 talk too much.

    140 ? Nah, any people who suggest Loma go up weight class just want to see him lose.

    Loma taking on yet another fighter to have held a world title, what will be his 11th in 18 fights, 15 of them being world title fights. Unheard of

    Yet another fighter who is way bigger than him, Commey comes in about 154lbs which is like 14-16lbs more than he comes in at which is an absolutely massive amount of weight for a leprechaun division fighter

    People shower Clenelo with gold and act like it's a David vs Goliath scenario when he fights a shot drunk Kovalev who would have weighed at most 1 or 2lbs more than him and had a 2'' reach advantage over him :facepalm:

    Ditto for Twink for fighting a Barrios who weighed a maximum of six pounds more than him lol

    Loma is routinely facing opponents who have at least 7-10lbs on him and between 2-just under 6'' of reach on him

    Like I said, Commey comes in about 154lbs on fight night, that's even more than gigantic lightweight Crawford was coming in at :facepalm:

    Three or almost three divisions heavier

    Yet another fighter with a huge reach advantage over him

    Crawford has never been at a reach disadvantage in any of his world title fights. Allow that sink into your abode

    Loma 65.5'' reach

    Walters 73'' reach
    Commey 71'' reach
    Nakatani 71'' reach
    Campbell 71'' reach
    Pedraza 70.5'' reach
    Linares 69'' reach
    Rodriguez 69'' reach
    Lopez 68½″ reach
    Rigo 68'' reach
    Crolla 67'' reach
    Marriaga 67'' reach
    Sosa 67'' reach
    Martinez 67'' reach
    Salido 67'' reach
    Koasicha
    Piriyapinyo
    Ramirez 65.5'' reach
    Russell Jr. 64'' reach

    And yet another dangerous puncher with a high KO percentage, and I mean dangerous against natural 135 pounders not blown up 126 pounders, and he's fought a lot of punchers and the vast majority of them hit hard for their weight class against opponents their own size not against much lighter ones who their power is obviously magnified against


    When you compare what Loma is doing - the number of world champions he's faced in the amount of fights he's had, the huge physical advantages he's giving away in terms of weight and reach, and height up at 135 too, and the amount of punchers he's fought - to his peers there's a very stark contrast to the vast majority of them. Many of them have barely fought any punchers, are rarely giving away physical advantages and certainly not routinely giving away huge ones, and have fought less or way less world champions in double if not more the amount of fights

    Even though Loma is routinely facing opponents who are way bigger than him, and is giving away more weight than Clenelo who is built like a tank, has the judges in his pocket everytime he fights, and is often the one who has the weight advantage in his favour or at worst weighs about the same as his opponents even up at 175 as would be the case against Bivol, Loma isn't weakening them with rehydration clauses, short camps and catchweights and he's never getting any favours from the judges at all. Even after getting stitched up something rotten by one of the most corrupt refs in the game in the Salido fight one of the home judges scored his fight against GRJ a draw in his very next outing despite the fact Loma beat the crap out of him all night

    One of the three home judges scored his fight against Lopez 119–109, giving Loma only one round :facepalm:

    Clenelo has a long history of receiving cards like that in his favour even when he clearly lost

    Even against Nakatani one of the judges gave the Japanese fighter 2 rounds even though, again, Loma beat the crap out of him

    Loma would 100% be undefeated if he had Clenelo's judges, let alone if he was also jacked full of PEDs, was facing opponents who he often had the weight advantage against or wasn't routinely facing opponents who were way heavier than him, and if he was weakening them with rehydration clauses, short camps, and catchweights

    And go check out the amount of these multi-weight champs there are who had to jack themselves full of PEDs to help them bridge the gap as they ascended through the divisions :lol:

    Loma is taking on The Ring #4 ranked lightweight in the world in a stay busy fight before the rematch against Lopez, against very dangerous punching former world champion who is way heavier and longer than him and who sports KO 81% against natural 135 pounders and who has only been beaten convincingly once and his other two losses were razor-close SDs that many feel he won.
