    Actually he usually fights for HBO, the SHO appearance was the result of GBP winning a purse bid. Every 2 months is pushing it, but 4x a year should be possible. Seen rumors of TR looking to put together a tourney for that weight division.

    400 AM fights is a lot. It takes a little time to adjust to a pro style after such a long and extensive AM background. He's getting better each time Loma steps into the ring as a pro. 3 pro fights is a spec in the universe of boxing......so I'm sure after 10 pro fights we will see a much more polished professional who transitioned from a steller amateur career.

    Lomachenko beat Salido, Laurence Cole is the only one he lost to. Lisa Giampa and Laurence Cole belong together.............Lomachenko was awesome, great stamina, defense, skills, power, everything. Lomachenko could have knocked Russell out if he had wanted to......................but he chose to box...........

    He still doesnt fully understand how to pace himself for 12 rounds.

    Taking whole rounds off, isnt the way to do it.

    In my humble opinion, it's possible he was carrying Russell, just to make the most experience possible from the fight.

    It's mind-blowing he's able to do all that he does in just his third pro fight.
