What do you think of Commey’s competition?

[Ron Swanson]

There are 3 big reasons I'm very much looking forward to Lopez-Commey.

1. IMO, it should be a hell of a fight. Two excellent fighters. Should be an action-packed fight.

2. It's not on DAZN.

3. It's on ESPN.


Ok... I realize #2 can be lumped in with #3. I'm just excited I should be able to watch what should be a very good fight. I personally favor Lopez to come out on top.

The winner should hopefully get a Lomachenko fight..... but with Loma being a (cough, gag) "Franchise Champion" and all....... who the hell knows what'll happen to those possibilities.

I think if Commey wins they try to sell the public that Commey/Loma is for “Undisputed”, if Lopez wins I just can’t see them sacrificing such a good young fighter. Possibly ruining a good earner.

Can we please just start calling franchise championships what they are, protection championships? It’s both insulting as it should be and factually correct.

I'm interested to know who you would have at #1 and #2 at 135, hypothetically does the winner of this fight become #2 for you?

By default yes, there’s no getting around Mikey Garcia leaving the division because TR refused to negotiate, refused to even talk. I don’t think either Commey/Lopez is the 2nd best fighter, or 3rd. But ranking, sure, they would earn the ranking.

Number 1 and 2 at lightweight really are Loma and Garcia. Just, one team refused so Mikey left. On talent Tank is probably next, hell, he might even be the most talented with that speed and power. But until Tank finally mans up we don’t really know how good he is. But on a guess, I think he would smash either Commey or Lopez.

The division has many questions, where is Haney? To act like one guy has answered all the questions with so many of the top guys having not had their chance to make their claim would be a tragedy.

(Edit-don’t mean you imply you are acting in any way, I said acting in regards to an undisputed claim)
