Looks like this is a done deal. Good on Sosa for stepping up to the plate and taking the fight. Not like others who demanded more money and preferred to talk rather than fight. Loma should be the big favorite but as long as Sosa doesn't quit he gets my respect.
Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs. Yunieski Gonzalez could be on the undercard. Another fantastic light-heavyweight fight.
Lomachenko is p4p the best fighter out there.
I was hoping he would get the Salido rematch next to avenge that loss. Then Corrales fell through. Sosa is a decent filler. I think Loma walks right through him tho.Quote:

Sosa honestly is a guy who has extended his 15 minutes from a draw with Walters that had no business being a draw by bricking Fortuna when behind but Loma is going to absolutely chew him to pieces.Quote:

I wonder if it was Arum trying to lowball Salido & Corrales or if the offers were reasonable. Salido was waiting on Vargas but now that has evaporated $$$ wise so he is left in limbo. I think Corrales has been making good money in Japan so I can understand him also wanting a bigger slice to fight Loma.Quote:

Well if lomachenko cant get the big fights might as well take on other title holders too, I don't mind this fight, hopefully he gets a couple of big names in the near future though, not that being a big name necessarily means they are the best opponent of course S:
This is not even a part unification now as the WBO only recognizes the WBA Super champion for unification's. Sosa has given up his WBA Regular title. After this Loma needs to fight the Miura vs Berchelt winner, Corrales and/or revenge his loss. If he goes straight to 135 for Mikey it will be outstanding.Quote:

Salido is running out of tomorrows and will make no better spotlight now than giving Loma a date to right his loss. Maybe it's around the corner.Quote:
