    Wouldn't surprise me to see Lomachenko get the shot since Salido couldn't make weight and thus, technically, wasn't a featherweight.

    That would be out of control, he needs to win at least a couple more fights

    I do think he should beat a top 15 guy or two before he gets another crack, but hey...this is boxing.

    All boxers should boycott Laurence Cole ASAP. Cole should have been suspended years ago....................Lomachenko will win a world title, no doubt about it, but I don't know what the rules dictate about the title.

    Loma KTFO Gary Russell

    This fight is actually Gary's best shot...the rest of the contenders will humiliate him...losing to Loma will not be as bad

    Jhonny Gonzalez was shook of Russell, it's not his fault the Top guys don't fight him and Lomachenko or Salido gets Knocked out by Russell, Jr.....People can criticize his opposition, but you can't deny his Punching Power, Skills and Blazing Speed.

    Lomachenko vs Russell. A title fight between one guy with one win and a loss and the other who has zero meaningful wins. Wasn't the guy Lomo beat higher ranked than anyone that Russell's ever faced?

    Given the uncalled infractions and that Lomo had to fight against someone technically in the next weight class I would like to see him and Russell.

    Well if Loma got another shot (which he doesn't deserve in reality as he just lost) it wouldn't surprise me at all and wouldn't be any worse than a guy who has no even top 50 names on his resume getting a shot.
