Loma says hes not moving down to 130 anymore

[Chrismart]

Davis has just moved up, Berchelt has said he is willing to move up after a Valdez fight. Loma is going to face the Lopez/Commey winner, then we have the likes of Haney.

It could get interesting.

Tank moved to 135, if Loma drops to 130 he'll be accused of ducking him. The only compelling fight at 130 is Berchelt, but I believe Berchelt has already suggested he would be willing to move to 135 for Loma.

Yep.. Agreed.

Been following Loma for a long time. No chance he's ducking anybody. Even if he is, it's not because of fear. There's another reason.

Beating Haney doesn't do much for him right now. Loma has a bigger fish to fry, his marquee fight, and the biggest challenge of his career, amateur and pro combined.

That's the bout I have Loma losing by KO.

Yarde was also Kovalev Mandatory and how did that go? Now I'm hoping that Yarde is not ruined because of his Egotistical Trainer

I think it is a blessing that Haney is not getting Loma right now because in another year or 2 if he continues to improve...guys like Loma, Tank and others might actually REGRET not taking him earlier when he was less experienced

I do think they also know how big he is and that he will out-grow that Divisions and be at 140 maybe even 147 very soon. Haney is a HUGE 135

So you saying Loma is hoping he outgrows 135? That's a duck if that's what you're aaying.

NO! I'm saying that fighting the winner of Teofimo Lopez vs Commey and Tank Davis are bigger fights for Loma at the moments

During this time, Haney can try to stick around at 135 if he can and fight Javier Fortuna and Luke Campbell and by beating them impressively that only makes his potential fight with Loma and/or Tank even bigger

No, mate - sorry, but I understand Ukrainian good enough to understand him.
Translation is accurate and He clearly makes a point that He never ask to become Frenchise Champion and no one asked him for that either.

what I meant, is..someone translated it to English as "vacated WBC" on video, when he said had to give it away. i know that he never asked for Franchise status..

but funny thing is..not sure what you meant "understand" Ukrainian. because he clearly speaks Russian, not Ukrainian

[BLASTER1]

Good news if its true.
Must mean he is getting more comfortable at 135 even though he's a 130 fighter.

[Pigeons]

As I've said all along, he's staying at 135. Just like Pacquiao is staying at 147.

130 is too close to 126.

And 126 is where the new baddest boogieman in the world fights, Shakur Stevenson.

Loma is already ducking. He don't want that Shakur smoke.

Your avatar never gets old.

Do you sincerely believe that a guy who fought Rigondeux in his prime, is afraid of Shakur Stevenson?

It isn't just this post, but i cannot understand what it takes for a boxer to prove he will fight anybody. There is nobody who was calling out Walters and Loma walked in there and picked him to pieces. Any style, any record - Loma clearly just wants to fight the best.
