The odds is about at 1.06 - 6.96, in favor of Loma. So seems that the bookies is still favoring Loma here. He has the motivation to win this fight because of his previous loss. Because if he will lose again, don't know what is waiting for him in his boxing career. And if can win on this one, high likely that he may ask for a rematch with Lopez. Let's see, couple of weeks and we will see what performance he will give to his boxing fans.
It's not surprising at all, this fight is just to boost Loma again to come back since Loma could attract the crowd in a big fight. Though his opponent has a good record, he has not fought tough challengers on going to this fight, it should be Loma which is his toughest opponent and he should take this seriously as Loma is will focused to win this fight.
Nakatani fought Teofimo Lopez and gave him hell, and then he went from the canvass to knock out Felix Verdejo. So Nakatani has fought some of the best in this division, he his chin tested specially against Lopez. Of course Loma will be the favorite because he is one of the best technical boxers we have today. But I see Nakatani maybe winning some close rounds and maybe tag Loma a couple of times in this fight.
Will be a big test for Loma as this is his comeback back and eager to be in the discussion for p4p again and redeem himself.
