Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Wants More Belts, Hopes For Mikey Garcia in 2019

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Vasiliy Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs) unified the WBA and WBO lightweight titles after a unanimous decision win over Jose Pedraza on Saturday. Lomachenko was not at his best, but he was good enough to lock up a convincing win on the cards at 119-107, 117-109 and 117-109. The Ukrainian (12-1) did not look entirely comfortable early in the fight and that was understandable considering he is months removed from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

He would struggle vs Garcia. He had a difficult time breaking pedraza down cuz he was disciplined and fought behind his jab, Mikey is far better in that area. Pedraza wasn’t really letting his hands go with intent to win the fight tho.

Waste of time chasing belts he might as well vacate all belts and fight just legacy guys:

Not unless Mikey comes back down. Loma is overstretching himself already at lightweight; any higher and he is gonna be severely undersized.

[Dasmius Shinobi]

Lomachenko is one of the best.

Lomachenko need to fight if possible, Mickey Garcia. If that is not a option, there are Miguel Berchelt, Davis and Machado. I like him to fight a tune up fight first to prove that right shoulder.

Garcia is making a big mistake, just like Brook did with GGG fight. Spence will destroy Mikey and Lomachenko will just finish work.

I was thinking the same thing,
Just hoping for a different outcome.

If he fights like he did tonight he won't beat mikey at all. Not even a little bit. I hope tonight was an off night for him.

His reign on the top in 135 will be shorter than leprechauns.

Pedraza didn't touch him up that much and he's swelling like he was in with a power puncher.
