so u think loma should just stay at 130 and never move up unless mikey/easter is not there?

No, he can move up...just avoid Easter.


Mikey Garcia is the same height as Loma, with a slight reach advantage, so I think Loma can deal with that. Easter is just too big. I expect Easter at 135 to be avoided like Paul Williams at 147.



How many lightweights do we see 5'11 with longer arms than most Light Heavyweights plus passed the chin test/quick reflexes/power in both hands and boxing skill? Think about how everyone talks about Stevenson's reach advantage at Light Heavyweight, and his arms are only 1 inch longer than Easter's...........but Easter is at 135 with those physical dimensions.

idk man, Easter has the goods but he doesn't "fight tall" at all sometimes...
Commey fight coul go either way there he almost lost already by decision, it can happen again if he gives up or can't exploit his reach and height advantages.
It's not like he would fight like Wladimir Klitschko. Commey could tag him on multiple occasions. LOma is smaller than Commey but also more skilled, faster and better with angles

no it couldn't. They counted a false KD which gave Commey a false 10-8 round in a round he was losing.


Fight was pretty easy to score.


Loma has to get inside to do anything to Easter...he cant outbox him from outside with that much of a reach disadvantage. Again:


Robert Easter is 5'11 with 76 inch reach.
Lomachenko is 5'6 with a 66 inch reach.


Plus Easter has a strong chin, quick, has more power than Loma, is naturally the larger man weight wise. Loma would HAVE to stay on the inside in order to win. If he's willing to take the punishment to get inside, then :ehh:

Loma vs Rigo is what I want, but the fans/media aint on it........so there's no way the fight will happen.

Again...
that would matter if Easter would fight tall and would exploit those advantages
which he doesn't do usually... :yeshrug:

Still doesn't change the fact that as a Middleweight, he arguably has the 2nd best resume, is undefeated, and is a Champion. Under those cirumstances, I don't understand the hate for him.:hubie:

If your reasons to hate on him is his inactivity and lack of top flight comp as Champ (even though he's only been champion for 13 months), then I would hope you also hate the likes of Guillermo Rigondeaux, Gary Russell Jr, Adonis Stevenson, Erislandy Lara, Gilberto Ramirez, and Kell Brook who have been Champions for longer and have gone longer in between top comp than BJS has:manny:
My hate for him largely stems from his mouth not cashing checks he promises. If he would shut up and go about his business like most fighters the criticism for him would be far less.
Injured? Okay, fine.
Long layoff? Okay, get a tune up.
Not ready? Go work your quality of opponents up.
Call out Canelo and GGG every time some one puts a mic to your face or your twitter fingers get active, be presented with both fights with good deals and make up excuses. :francis:

The original GGG-Brook fight was not offered to Eubanks, it was offered to BJS and he turned down a hometown fight. Blamed the money. Really, you think you are more popular than Brook?:francis:
Was offered to fight on Canelo's PPV undercard vs. a hand picked opponent, basically be guaranteed the next fight vs. Canelo on PPV, which would be instead of JCC and turn it down. :francis:
And rumors are Jacobs would like to fight him and he backed out of negotiations with him. :francis:

Have a case to be the second best MW and your career is going where? In the short term best case scenario is a Eubanks rematch (good luck with those two egos now). :francis:
His one piece he does have is GGG is desperate to unify, so no matter how much BJS runs around, ducks, and dodges, GGG will always be open to fighting him.:yeshrug:
