    I'm sick of it. Lomachenko needs to move up to 130lbs even though it isn't his prime weight. He's 28 years old now and the talent pool is better at 130 anyway.

    Lomachenko vs Uchiyama, Vargas, Salido Rematch, Martinez, Fortuna, Pedraza, Miura.
    It's not going to be an easy road at 130lb - stylistic threat upon stylistic threat.

    So Loma is not fighting Walters? This is lame as ****. Honestly I'm tired of watching bum fights, only tuning to big fights from now on.

    Walters is asking for 100% of a $1 million purse. Currently, it's a 57-43 split for Loma to come up to Walters' weight.

    It sounds like he's doing a price out.

    Lomo's credibility is strongly suspect. He comes out of the midst of the Russian State sponsored Steroid program.
    Odds are, he is a chemical cheat just like the rest of the Soviet nation.

    Yeah because he has such overwhelming power that terrifies his opponents right?:roll:

    I think you need to be drug tested, PED's don't give you skills.

    PEDs aren't just from strength but speed and endurance also. Look at Lebedev. He isn't a strong puncher, but PEDS have enhanced his endurance.

    You can test me any hour of the day, any day of the week, 24/7/365. You can show me a Steroid of PED and I won't even know what it is. To me, shooting up steroids or PEDs is the same as shooting heroin. I guess I'm square. :lol:

    I'm honestly starting to think that fans should just boycott these ****py fights, if the sport isn't going to give why should the fans? With risk should come reward right now they can get reward without any risk since fans will just eat it up.

    It's actually been 2 years since Lomachenko has faced a relevent opponent, since then it's been a string of bums, he's not getting any younger.. Arum is a disgrace.

    Arum is low balling Walters big time, Walters wants the fight and it will happen for the right money.

    Why should he give more money to Walters? Walters has poor ratings.
