Comments Thread For: Arum Blasts Refereeing in Salido-Lomachenko

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank joined the chorus of critics blasting oft-derided referee Laurence Cole for his officiating in Orlando Salido’s split decision win over Vasyl Lomachenko this past Saturday — a bout that the company had made as it tries to make Lomachenko, an acclaimed amateur and two-time Olympic gold medalist, into a star.

Cole is a pos but arum really gonna act like he never had coke help his guys out before lol. Guess he can't say lomo is top 5 p4p anymore

Bob is right on everything but the score, and of course that is to be expected. He was trying to deep throat us with Lomachenko instead of building the guy up they went with the he is a "phenom" hype approach with a guy nobody really knew if was going to be as effective as a pro, but at least we got our answer . It looked like a lot got lost in translation from his amateur greatness going in the pro's hopefully he can get past this stumble, and do the damn translation process right.

think I need to join Mr. Arum's cigar cognac lounge for more boxing chats, since I shared the exact same thoughts previously.

LOL!!! Uncle Bob is butt-hurt.

All you had to do was take a look at Arum, specially in that 12th round, to notice how nervous he was lol. He was sitting sideways and twisting. He had everything planned out and it came crashing down last night.

I like the Bobster though!

Arum's right about the low blows but Salido won more rounds.

However, I think something needs to be about Cole, that's two fights in a row where he was absolutely terrible.

[Larry the boss]

So now the ref and the judges are now wrong??? Arum please shut up, your circus show failed and you **** on the best fighter you actually have in Rigo

[Daddy T]

he's right about the ref being crap but not about the score
