How many pro fights does Lomachenko have?

[ShoulderRoll]

I thought the ones in the World Series of Boxing were officially counted as professional bouts?

They are not counted. He has 1. And it's gonna stay that way. It's good publicity. Historical.

WSB is not the same as professional boxing.

They're counted. Just ask the American Olympians with losses on their records.

Take it up with the relevant boxing bodies. The boxers should protest. How can someone have a loss on his pro record yet the guy who beat him doesn't have a win? You sure that's right? I can't be bothered to boxrec

However, this being boxing, there is always a but. In this case, the but involves the stance of FightFax, the sport's official record-keeper.

FightFax lists Lomachenko at 6-0, with all six victories coming by decision. He defeated Samuel Maxwell on Jan. 11, Charley Suarez on Feb. 8, Maxwell again on March 1, Albert Selimov via split decision on March 30, Domenico Valentino on April 19 and Samat Bashenov on May 10. All bouts were five-rounders.

Anibal Miramontes said the fights are without question pro matches. He said for the fights that were held in the U.S., they were under the supervision of the relevant state athletic commission and were monitored by the Association of Boxing Commissions.

"The question about this is not whether these are pro fights, but why they wouldn't be considered pro fights," Miramontes said. "The fights are paid. There are no headgear. There are three judges and a referee. From 154 [pounds] and up, they wear 10-ounce gloves. From 154 and down, it's eight-ounce gloves. How is that not a professional fight? Without question, it is a pro fight.

"I understand what Arum is doing. This is all about p.r. It looks better to say he's making his pro debut, because then he could be fighting for the title in his second or third pro fight. I have a good relationship with Arum and with Top Rank and if it were me, I would be doing the same thing as he's doing. But my job is to keep fair and accurate records and to do that, I have to count those fights because they are professional fights."
