Lomachenko to fight for vacant WBO belt?!

[Hougigo]

wow!!! lol, any other source to this? that would be insane man hahahhaha NSB would go haywire

Dude is LA times.... don't know about anything else though.
LOL if true, but Arum did say he was trying to get him a title fight in his next fight.....

[pesticid]

No problem with me, Lomachenko fought a cheater, Loma could have pulled out of the fight when dude didn't make weight instead he honored it, Salido was huge on that night.

I would like to see Loma vs. Russel Jr for the title.

Loma impressed me though if it was a 15 round fight he would have stopped Salido, Salido had the gi joe kung fu grip though during the last two rounds.

Loma withstood a crazy body attack and low blows, I think his father wanted him to pace himself because they never fought 12 rounds, that was the mistake he should have went on the attack earlier instead of the last two rounds.

Great post

[The Gambler1981]

He can be a pretty darn good fighter if they take a step back and actually develop the kid into a true professional.

I also don't see the need to push him like this because the ways he fights in the light weight classes is not really fan friendly. Really his best bet for prosperity is not the quick fast way to the top but being good for a long time and I think this is not the way to go about that.

smh, let the kid develop...

[AgainstTheRopes]

WBO and Arum are way too close

Donaire vs. Loma for a unification bout in the future

[Porter's Dad]

Bad idea. Not only does it kill the goodwill people have towards Loma as the great hope if he keeps getting freebies, but it's also not good for his development as a fighter. If he fights stiffs, it's gonna p*ss people off. If he fight legit contenders, it's gonna be tough because of his lack of pro experience.

Just leave the damn thing alone and revisit it in about 10 fights.

[HeroBando]

Not very fair but Boxing's not fair.

I doubt he keeps it for long any way unless he holds it hostage.

The guy is frankly just not that good.

What did you think of Rigo after Cordoba? No chance vs Bernard Dunne?

[Holywarrior]

Fair enough. He did get cheated against Salido.

[The Hammer]

Lomachenko deserves it.

And with a fair referee, against a fighter his own size, he will win.
