Is it possible to include Lomachenko's semi-pro wins in his future pro record?

    they are the broad commission for the amatuers, olympics/worldchampionships/aba's etc. they 'are' amatuer boxing basically.

    they set up this wbs with a businessman. the idea was to stop good amatuers leaving to the pro's or allow them to earn money for boxing while allowing them to fight in the amatuers.wbs has a lot of power but i think they aren't very financially secure methinks....most of their employs arent employed at all and either working for free or little pay. so they saved up and paid a huge bet on the horse that is the wbs.

    now you can see good amatuers be able to earn money, without headguards, against pro's and other very good ams in a team sport.
    it could become a fad like prizefighter. or it could become a real rival to pro boxing...honestly i think it is a brilliant intersection between the pro's and the ams.

    SO thats why they bought lomachenko. if they keep him in the tournament, they hope to create a buzz and a viewing public on him.
    loads of new city's and country's have created teams. some of thier fighters are awful but others are gold medalists and amatuer world champions.

    Lomachenko defeated the last man who beat him 6 years ago. Selimov did quite good though, he seem to have Vasyl's number (well not quite, but did better than anyone in years). This was a fight between two undefeated WSB participants.

    No

    However I hasten to add that the fighters he has beaten in the WSB are vastly superior to the level of competition he'd be facing had he turned pro after the London Olympics.
