Basically I see Loma trying to let the other champions kill each other first and then come in to clean up whats left for an undisputed fight. He could pursue the 4th belt but he isnt doing that either so I think this is just him being old and not trying to take this super tough road to unify. He called out Tank for years so I doubt he's worried about him from a fear standpoint.
I agree with you for the most part! I just think maybe Loma was trying to get Tank early before he developed into the fighter he is now! Just like Floyd did with Canelo but Tank and his team were just too smart. He is still young in his career so there was no need for that fight say 3-4 years ago when Loma mentioned his name. Hell he may have even mentioned it after that but he sure isn’t now. Maybe its not a direct fear of Tank but he isn’t t showing that he’s s willing to take that big of a risk at this point in his career. If you were Loma, who would you set a target on for say his retirement fight?
@@FeelofTheFight at this point in his career, it's whoever is left. If that's Tank, then so be it. If it's Shakur, so be it. He ain't saying anybodies name right now. Not just tank. Loma probably has one fight left and he wants that to be for undisputed. At most he takes an in between light touch while waiting for the winner of Tank vs Shakur. He might even just retire without fighting either.
Tank was lomas last chance to make some real noise in my eyes. Especially with the narrative around Shakur rn, I could understand why he doesn’t take that fight.. but not fighting tank right now makes ZERO sense for anything other than you flat out dont want to. Loma been overrated fr. Fuck em
But Loma career is almost done. He said it right after this last fight. Even before that he was talking retirement. Fighting Loma at the end of hos career hold little to no weight.
Facts!! Tank is the face of the game and where the money is! Everyone would tune into that fight and he wouldn’t have to do anything to sell it but show up. Who else is a big enough fight for him to end his career on? Hes not getting a Haney rematch and Im not sure Devins name is holding weight the same as it was prior to the Garcia fight anyway. Id bet he picks on Frank Martin or another fighter coming off an L to end his career.
@@redeyexxx1841 I think a win over Loma definitely holds weight! He’s not some old dog that has showed signs of slowing down at all. Everyone that has beat the guy takes a rocket ship to superstardom. For Loma should he retire now off a win? For Tank without the Loma fight, who should be next?
@@FeelofTheFight I mean even before the Kambosis fight, Loma was talking about retirement. Dunno what he'll do, hopefully he vacates if he don't wanna fight anymore
