Many people predicted that Lujan would win so I would not consider this a " shocking loss"

Bob Arum/Top Rank will not give Melligen another chance!!! What they WILL DO is give him another fight; however, this fight will be tough and very hard to win. In essence, TR will do with Melligen what Golden Boy did with Charles Huerta. After Huerta loss by a first-round KO to Derrick Wilson about a year ago or so, GB gave Huerta a legit second chance (as TR did with Melligen). Everything seemed to go smoothly for the next year or so but then Huerta loss again (to a solid, undefeated prospect). After that GB became very upset at him and fed him to Chris Martin, another undefeated prospect with more fights. Huerta ended up winning on almost all viewers' scorecards; however, the judges gave it to Martin. Which made it seem as if the scorecards were already filled out before the fight had even started... In essence, that's what I think TR will do with Melligen. They will give him a tough, tough fight and will almost have to win by KO!!!

That's nice of Arum to give another Filipino hypejob a chance.
