    I'd love to see Rigo take the same advice.

    I feel like both fighters have HOF level talent, it sucks seeing them on the sideline or in obvious mismatches like this.

    I'm not even motivated to watch Loma vs Kos. Although I will for the sake of it.

    Fighting no namers, fighting just twice a year. Things need to change. People have run to PBC + Haymon, Lomachenko needs to jump ship, too. Arum is far too stubborn to do business with.

    For one reason or the other, Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux didn't happen. This could have happened and this fight should have had millions involved.

    Lomachenko's 2016 is going to be boring as hell. There are no elite names to challenge him either. I want him to fight the best of the best.

    Arum doesn't realize what he has in his hands.

    Neither does Bob these days, most especially if he lacks an exploitable ethnic tie to do most of the work for him.

    getting real over his matchmaking, he was such a great breath of fresh air taking that title fight in his second pro fight, went on to face highly skilled GRJ and win convincingly and now he is back to fighting bums? a tune up bum here and there is fine between big fights because at this point in almost every big names career its just bum after bum.

    To be fair, the significant fight Lomachenko's promoter and network spent the better part of a year building up is now one he no longer wants to take.
