    I would still like for Lomachenko to fight Salido in a rematch just for the record. Lomachenko was cheated out of the win by Laurence Cole in the first fight and the judges, it was still a split decision, but by very biased judges and Cole is the worst ref ever...................although Tony Weeks is corrupt as hell................where was Tony Weeks when Golota needed him?

    Lomachenko will fight the winner of Beltran vs Moses next year.

    Yes, I saw the fight, but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ will change people's minds, although Lomachenko would probably not want the fight now. If Salido had won tonight he would have fought Lomachenko............

    Personally I would like him to stay at 130... It is his weight division, he would be a little bit too small for 135.
    The only problem, obviously, is the opponents...

    Salido having retired is a good thing after all. What would Loma gain beating a 38 year old veteran?

    I'd love to see him against Garcia or Linares at 135, Garcia especially. But if he can't get them he should stay at 130. Collect the belts, clean out the division. The division's deeper, and it's his natural weight. No boxer should move up in weight unless he can no longer healthily make weight, he's defeated every worthy rival at his weight class, or it's for a huge fight at the higher weight.

    I'm interested in the Russell Jr. rematch at 130. We know Jr. would give it an honest go, not quit, and has fast hands. Gervonta Davis later in the year. Otherwise I'd like to see Loma move up and fight Linares, then take on the Garcia vs Easter winner. The skill and athletic gap between him and guys right now is fairly big. He may need to do a Rigondeaux and fight in a bigger division than he naturally should just to have a little challenge for himself.

    Would like to see him against Tank since Tank doesn't have a bet anymore and should be more willing now. I would still like to see him face the top guys from 126, Frampton struggles with making the weight and has said he would go to 130. Would be a decent fight against Selby.

    Berchelt 100%, this is a great fight. Tank's people have already said they don't want to fight Loma so that is a no go.
