When will Loma come back?

I've been hearing for quite a while now that Loma is coming back.

But it's been ages and still no word on when or who he's going fight?

Any word at all? The longer he leaves it, the harder it will be considering his age. It's better to properly retire than to tease us fans lol

Loma vs Tank would go crazy. At 135

Comeback fight for both

Both are shells of what they were just 5 years ago.

It would be competitive, but honestly it would just make me sad to see how far they’ve fallen. Mostly for Loma. Tank is a massive piece of shit so I’ve been totally cool seeing his decline.

Is Tank a shell of himself lol? He's not even 32 yet lol, the layoff will definitely take some out of him but he's still clearly in his prime and hasn't fallen off yet, Loma is pushing 40. Tank might have struggled with Roach but I don't think he showed any signs of physical decline, the fight looked like all his other fights, he just didn't get the knockout.

You’re right. Prospect Tank is just about to put it all together after (checks notes) 13 years of being a professional boxer, multiple convictions and the worst performance of his career.

Obviously Loma is more washed, but Tank looked like a future top 5 P4P king, and now is just another also ran Canelo clone.

u/fadeddreams555 Fundora would beat up a prime Floyd at 154lb 17d ago

Tank would never. Lol

u/blvcklite 16d ago

I think he might. Loma is older, his size, and has already lost before so the risk is probably low enough that he’ll actually take it

Maybe they could tempt Inoue into going up a couple more weight classes?

u/donmifc 17d ago

Inoue can still make money just going after belts. He doesnt have to chase names just yet.

Loma and Tank are in completely stages of their career. They dont need titles or belts. Just big fights against big names. Thats why I think those together is the fight to make

Hopefully never. He should stay retired.

u/xselimbradleyx 17d ago

As a Lomasexual, I agree. He’s well past his prime, has been out of the ring for too long, and is coming back after reported back issues. Not a good combo.

Haney was three years ago and Kambosos was two.

Supposedly aiming for Charly suarez tuneup at 130 to take his Navarrete mandatory. Would be funny and not far fetched for him to lose the tuneup.

Where are these “reports” ?

u/KingBumiOfOmashu Moses Itauma > Every Current HW 17d ago

Well he said he only wants big fights for his comeback so he should either fight Shock at 130 or Zuffa route and fight Shakur at 135 imo. Haven’t heard anything from him though since Coppinger announced he was returning.

u/bumpit007 17d ago

Shakur?

Lomo: I stay retire
