Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Lomachenko is slated to return in April in a possible unification with WBA champion Jezreel Corrales. Beyond that, Lomacheko's handlers have already been discussing the possibility of a move to the lightweight division by year's end.

While Garcia's open to fight Lomachemko, he's not sure if the Ukrainian's handlers are willing to make the fight. Lomachenko is promoted by Top Rank and managed by Egis Klimas.

"We hear about Lomachenko from all of the media and reporters and the fans, but I have yet to hear anything from Top Rank or his manager mentioning my name. I would definitely take on a challenge like that if he comes up to 135," Garcia told BoxingScene.com.

"He's still at 130, I'm at 135 now. If he decides to move up, and they present me with that opportunity - we'll take it. But it's not up to me, it's up to him to move up. I'm not coming down. If anything he needs me at 135. I'm not coming down to 130 and I haven't heard anything from his promoter or his camp mentioning my name.

"But if he decides to move up, it would definitely be a great fight. He's got a lot of skills, tremendous skills. I have a lot of skills that people haven't even seen yet, so that would be a great opportunity to show [them]."

yeah, but I don't think arum works with him ever. unless he becomes a big star like Floyd and forces him too.

with his Mexican background and the way they support boxing he definitely can......im wondering if it would have been better for him to go to golden boy and just stay on the undercards of canelo and help build him.....

cause Oscar gonna have to work with haymon....he to big to ignore.

If the rumors about PBC matching their fighters tough is true... then I could see Aleem facing the MORE dangerous Sulecki or maybe the other olympian Dervyanchenko

where u heard that

Just hypothetically... if this happens in 135

Who do you pick?

Loma will get his ass whooped and koed within 4........

No fighter with no hammer, that relys on clinch fighting and activity;will beat Garcia who could time those slaps, and drop those concussive shots


Garcia too big there are levels, see the salido fight between the two if you dont believe it.....

Linares gotta get past Anthony Crolla again... without suffering another cut....... which would prolong the process of negotiating indefinitely



yeaaaaaah, just to be on the safe side, Mikey oughta look in the direction of Easter Jr. or the winner of Flanagan/Petrov



say.... whatever happened to Richar Abril?

Felix Verdejo, save that he doesn't lose in February, is the highest ranked IBF challenger for Easter's belt. I could see AB steering Easter towards a Verdejo fight, and Garcia being saved for AB at 140.


Easter vs Verdejo is a bigger money fight and possibly will be mandated in 2017 since IBF Champs are supposed to face their mandatory every 9 months.

Loma is much better than he was vs Salido in his 1st professional fight

 

[Newzz]

Never thought about that



Makes sense, especially since Noshow was the one running his mouth about how PBC put them on notice there were no more easy fights.....but now he wants to play $$$/business games when Swift was mentioned, now Porter

The funny thing is Berto of all people all but validated my thoughts on PBC with this

 

[SuikodenII]

Good choice... though I prefer Bermane Stiverne for obvious reasons

 

[patscorpio]

a struggle mean to justify a struggle end....Washington loses his zero and his equilibrium
