Bob Arum has today stated he may look for Chris Algieri to defend his WBO 140lb title vs. Terence Crawford, if Pacquiao-Algieri is not made.

Bob Arum also commented that a rematch between Orlando Salido and new WBO 126lb champ Vasyl Lomachenko for the WBO 130lb title is possible

How does Loma get another title shot at another weight class and you have fighters like Jayson Velez that has not even had a title fight yet. He was ducked by Mares. WBO <3 Bob Arum

Crawford vs Algieri would be cool. Provo wants a rematch and no big bro to deter him. Only way he breaks his stride is to give him Rios

I like Velez as well but C'mon dude, get that Rican nuthugging out of here. I'm surprised the WBO(which gives Rican boxers belts like candy) hasn't given him one yet.

I would be down for those fights.. All seem legit.. Who would mikey fight for wbo 135 belt.. I assume it would be vacated by Crawford moving to 140 Raymundo Beltran or at least he should get it. It was to be expected that Garcia would move up in weight he's been off for awhile.

Mikey must be praying for Crawford to win, he's probably tired of just dodging Gamboa and they haven't even fought yet.

Mikey would vacate the WBO 130 title, leaving Salido and Loma to fight for the vacant belt. Your usual Top Rank BS. The WBO title is the biggest joke in boxing. Well, equal to the WBA. Both of those organizations need to die. Don't forget the WBC....

Am i missing something? Since when is Salido the 130lb WBO champ?

Hopefully it is. People are sleeping on Yuri, and I'm not even a big fan of his, but if his chin doesnt fail him, he will beat Crawford up. Jayson Velez could had fought De Leon, but got injured, then Mares got KTFO by Gonzalez and Gonzo brought the bitch in him. Hopefully Oquendo KO's him and rid us of that pussy If Gamboa beats Crawford it will have to be Gamboa/Mickey Gamboa wont lose to Crawford cause of his chin.

Lomachenko needs to stay at 126. Lots of good fights for him there. People will forget about the Salido loss and simply chalk it up to inexperience if he beats the names at 126. He should just send Nonito up so he can do his best Manny Pac impersonation and only have one WBA champ since he's the "super"
