The fight I want to see most next in the lightweight division is Lomachenko vs Davis.
I can see Top Rank steering Loma towards the Emanuel Navarrete vs Denys Berinchyk winner instead, especially if Shakur Stevenson doesn't resign with them. The Navarrete vs Berinchyk fight is only a week after Loma's & they are close to the same schedule, where as Shakur & Tank have fights still upcoming in June & July. There'll also be a nice little revenge story attached should Navarrete defeat Loma's fellow Ukrainian countryman Berinchyk.
Stevenson might also have a mandatory to fulfil shortly.
Tank has said he wants to fight Loma after his bout with Frank Martin but that fight has already been talk about for 7 years so who knows if it actually happens next.
William Zepeda is in the drivers seat & can basically decide what belt he wants a shot at.
Lightweight is currently in a healthy state with fighters like Raymond Muratalla, Andy Cruz, Keyshawn Davis, Albert Batyrgaziev & Edwin De Los Santos waiting in the wings. There is also the possibility of fighters like Joe Cordina & O’Shaquie Foster moving up in the near future.
Let's see how 135 plays out.
