Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Oquendo Will Be For WBO Regional Belt

[AddiX]

I'm excited to watch him as a pro, he is ridiculously good. So sharp and so fast on his feet, just a really fun fighter to watch.

not a good fight for oquendo

This is NOT his Pro debut!!! It will be his 7th Pro fight!

Good point, if it wasn't for WSB he wouldn't be ready to step up this quick. However I bet many of those guys would have refused to compete if they knew it was gonna count on their pro record.

Arum is putting his gold medal winners through a trial of fire... I mean Murata fought the OPBF champ for his debut and now Lomachenko is going to fight for a regional belt in his pro fight against a vet and for a title in his next fight

Does that even count towards the pro record?
Isn't it sanctioned by AIBA?

It's not on boxrec, but it's on fightfax, which I guess is the official recordkeeper. I think Gausha was pissed to find out it was gonna be on his record, after the fact

It does not count. They have different gloves and use other type of hands taping, among other things.
