After the Crolla fight, Lomachenko said this in making it known that he wants to fight Mikey: “Look, everyone wants this fight with Mikey. Asking him to drain down to 135 to fight Lomachenko would likely leave him too thin to put up a decent fight. Second place is Mikey, and second, Mikey,” Lomachenko said when asked after the fight for him to rank the following fighters in terms of which one would be the toughest for him: Mikey Garcia, Luke Campbell and Teofimo Lopez. It’s hard to know how serious Lomachenko is in ranking the 31-year-old southpaw Luke Campbell above Mikey Garcia. That’s enough of a reason for Lomachenko, 31, to fight him next, unless a fight against Luke Campbell or Mikey Garcia presents itself.
