Arum bashes referee, says he thought Loma won and wants Loma to fight for vacant belt

"The refeering was absolutely horrible. I have never seen so many low blows that a fighter gets away with. But that being said, that shows how important experience was, because finally when he got his act together, it was no contest."

Arum said he had Lomachenko winning 7-5.

"Off that performance against a heavier guy, maybe he can be nominated to fight for the title again."

Before the fight, Arum had plans for Lomachenko to fight Gradovich in Moscow in the summer in an unification bout.

- Bob Arum

 

Lomachenko v Russell
See who is hype and who is real deal.

 

Loma is not a taxi driver nor does he deliver pizzas in Spokane. So no, it won't happen.:rofl

Arum is 100% correct on this one.:deal

 

what happened to arum having refs and judges in his pocket?

 

so why is he gonna get loma a fight for the vacant belt which means he shares the record getting a world title in his 3rd fight provided he wins.

without arums influence, loma wouldnt have got this fight in first place and now arum will get him a fight for the vacant belt.

 

Arum is not getting him sh.it. It also wouldn't have mattered if Loma
didn't get this bull.**** fight anyway as he could've gotten a world title
shot a little down the road under fair circumstances with a digified and
orderly outfit like K-2. Dude, Loma is an ethnic russian and ki.kes hate
them. Loma career is going to be ruined if Bob continues to "guide" it.

 

Arum is flying to Moscow on Monday as he plans to do fights there. Arum has a lot of Russians signed to Top rank.

 

You say that like it's good news. Arum's trying to kill the momentum of
Eastern European boxing before it even starts.

 

I think he'd win against Russell but I think regardless he shouldn't be looking for any heavy challenges at the moment, if he fights Russell I think he may continue fighting tough comp and may receive yet another loss.

Best thing to do in my opinion is to have a few easier fights, get adjusted to the pro style and then challenge the top guys. There's no record to break anymore and no reason to rush him.

 

Nah, Wladimir already did that.

 

Could still tie a record and actually set a record for fewest fights WITH a loss. Think that's held at 6 fights.

 

Well Loma would beat Russell.

 

If he fights Russell, that will be his second loss.

 

GRJ is inked to face TBA, if TBA is hurt TBD is in the wings...Don't jump in line :nono

 

If he fights Russell he will be 2-1 (KO 2)
