    "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.

    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

    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.

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

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