Comments Thread For: Oquendo Rejects Lomachenko Fight on October 12th

[Tom Cruise]

they are negotiating with Jose Ramirez

Yep...

@danrafaelespn:

" OQuendo (hand) out as @LomachenkoVasyl's debut foe. Instead he faces Mexico's Jose Ramirez (25-3, 15 KOs) on 10/12 @HBOboxing PPV."

Sounds like the decks stacked vs him but what's the $$$???I'd guess between $15-20 k is the most he's get 4 a 3rd or 4th fight down on a PPV...

Lomachenko will beat Ramirez... again

[El Angel]

Ramirez isn't a bad alternative. Lomo would have beaten Oquendo too, I hope he gets the title fight next. Salido is going to get boxed silly by this guy.

[jtcs1981]

I wonder how much they offered.. but yea.... he was a stepping stone

25k and he wanted 30k

He will beat a Ramirez again, but it's not the Jose Ramirez he beat in the amateurs.

Seems that the era of Puertorricans with cojones is over!!!!!! Only Martínez is the only one...

Doesn't matter, WBO is trying to build Lomachenko into its next flagship star, expect a win here, a title shot next fight, and BOOM! the earliest titlist ever, boxing history with the WBO co-starring. Basically Lomachenko could go in dry and the WBO would say 'yessir, may I please have another?'

Lomachenko is impressive, great hand speed, and the dude has very crafty footwork. If a fight with nonito falls through for evgeny , wonder if they think about making lomachenko-gradovich

Could work down the line, but for now there's no upside for Gradovich. Despite Lomas iconic amateur status he's still a debutante, and needs to build his name as a pro.
