    I like most people on here had Loma winning. Unfortunately the record books and history don’t give a **** about who the fans had winning. Loma’s goal was to become undisputed which was not achieved yesterday. Should Loma rematch Haney or go down to 130 to try and achieve undisputed?

    He may as well just retire with his health intact at this point tbh. The fans know who won that fight.

    He should retire.

    Lomachenko will without a doubt lose to Stevenson. Three will become four losses and then finally he might get to fight tank at the age of 37 or so.

    Don't want him to turn out like Gamboa.

    Without a doubt? Stevenson is a 50/50 fight for him

    I just watched the fight and I had Loma winning 115-113. Although a draw is also fair. Hard to find 7 Haney rounds. But Haney is the house fighter. Like Hagler said, bring your own judges.

    Boxing is a corrupt sport. If you're not the house fighter you have to win by knockout, score a couple of knockdowns or win 10 or 11 rounds to get a split decision.

    When Hagler fought Hearns who were the judges? How about Pacquiao with Barrera? MAB was the house fighter. How about Beterbiev and Gvozdyk. They were going to job Beterbiev on the cards. So Artur brought his own judges.

    As far as what is next for Loma it may be the end of the line.

    Loma would have get in line after Shakur and Tank and by then, Haney would probably not be the Undisputed. Loma needs to prepare for Shakur and that is a mighty tall order considering his age. From what I have seen in the fight, both boxers would have major problems with Shakur.

    If he can get the rematch, he should fight the rematch.

    Probably though, the alphabets will **** it up. So the WBA or whoever will order a rematch; WBC will insist on something else. Haney probably wants to leave Lomachenko behind, he's stated who he'll remain at 135 for and Loma ain't on the list.

    He must have been asked about that post-fight? Anyone got the video?

    Shakur is better than Haney, he will not allow Lomachenko in. He will lose wider on the scorecards.
    Champion would never give the belt-less guy a rematch. Lomachenko is a significant risk in a rematch so a bad idea financially speaking since he is not a star attraction.

    Look at his post fight reaction, Lomachenko knows it is over for him.

    Just refuse to fight in america like ward refused to fight outside Oakland
    If they want a lomo scalp any yank they should be made to go over to europe or china even
    Don't let another yank feed off of his greatness to use to promote and big them selves up
    Whilst being un willing to travel

    Boxing is not popular in Europe outside of the UK. Ukraine is not a rich nation.

    Americans still make more money than British fighters not named Joshua or Fury. The US has significantly higher spending ability.

    Boxing is not even close to football (soccer). People might tune in to watch Olympics but that is the limit of it.

    It was absolutely huge in Germany for a while, but has gone back a bit there. In Germany, it was pretty much as big as it was in the UK for a while. It comes and goes, swings and roundabouts.
