    Davis should push for that fight right now whilst he looks to be at 60% on account of his left arm.

    It’s his right arm and he is at 100%. Pedraza is an excellent fighter.

    Loma is at 30 percent. He still beats Davis 100 percent of the time though.

    Just testing you all,where would you all be without me lol.
    No seriously though,given it’s his right arm does this make it comparable to Whytes injury?with him it took at least four fights before he could even throw that left with any confidence.
    Pedraza is a new excellent fighter,hard to know what Mikey Garcia is playing at?

    Yep you’re probably right and yet not many gave him credit for it in his last fight.Davis should want to get at him now while things are more even,Davis is a live dog on account of his power but it’s hard to imagine him beating Lomo on points.

    The Problem for Garcia is that even if he wanted to, going up in weight and coming back in the same year against 2 elite fighters is a huge ask.
    I like Lopez and Haney but I hope they doesn't fight Loma, they need to develop.
    No way Papa Al would let Davis fight Loma.

    No, it is not. But it's not the fight the fans expect him the most.

    To be honest, I want to know why does he want to fight Spence. I'm curious what does he expect from this fight. To add new weight class title in his resume ? Raising his P4P ranking ? I asked this, because it's a risky fight and the consequence of him fighting in this new class is going to affect his future physical condition as he must put more weight for this fight. He'll have difficulty to drop back to the class he still currently holds the belt. If he's aiming big and willingly to take the big risk, why not fight Crawford instead ? A higher rated and former 130 titlist himself.

    I don't mind at all if he wants to fight Spence. But just like people criticizing Loma for leaving the 130 without fighting any other belt holder in the division, I too question his future plan in the Lightweight division since he holds the WBC belt.

    Easy answer. The money. Spence is "Captain America" right now. Lomo's management can see that.
