Lomachenko has a new 5-year deal with Top Rank

[RetroSpeed05]

Lomachenko resigning with TR and looking to follow in the footsteps of Mayweather, Dela Hoya, Pacquiao and Cotto.

Too bad Haymon looks to be hi******* 126 by securing the WBC with Russell when he lured Gonzalez away from GB, the IBF with Selby favored over Gradovich, and the WBA by luring away Walters.

Ya, that would suck if the Walters fight doesn't happen because of cold war bs. But maybe if it goes to purse bid for example they wouldn't mind Loma fighting in another network like when he did against Russell. Although that time he wasn't exclusive to HBO so idk what his status with HBO would be moving forward, and by the looks of how pissed Bob is at Haymon during this super-fight i doubt he would work with him again.

According to the article, Top Rank still plans to have Walters on the June 13th HBO card (with Felix Verdejo), and appears to still be planning towards a possible Lomachenko-Walters bout:

"If all goes well for Lomachenko against Rodriguez and fellow titleholder Nicholas Walters wins a proposed June 13 HBO fight at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York -- opponent to be determined -- Top Rank is hoping to match them with each other in a unification bout later this year."

Loma is running from gary ruseel rematch by signing with bob. Russel was upset his goldfish died and was distracted

[Mitchell Kane]

smh... kid shoulda signed wit Haymon if he really wanted to make dat bank.

Lomachenko's going to be fighting on pretty much the biggest stage in the sport's history in two days.

Gary Russell Jr.'s last fight, like many before it, barely had any viewers.

I think he'll be alright with Top Rank and HBO.

[Pigeons]

I'm more concerned with his opponents, I think he's on the right side.

HBO: Walters, Gradovich, Vetyeka, Selby, Cuellar, Velez & all of 130

PBC: Mares, Russell Jr, Gonzalez, Santa Cruz

Cuellar is with Haymon.

There is one interesting matchup on the HBO side, Walters. There are two interesting matchups on the Haymon side, Mares and Santa Cruz.

Not long until Walters crosses sides as well.

Bob should take good care of Loma - the partnership will hopefully continue to be fruitful for both parties and Loma will continue on his path to being a star. I think also once Loma becomes comfortable speaking English and can reach out to the wider demographic and get more American fans he can be a big star. Hopefully there will be lots of future challenges and great fights to be made with him. If only he had more power, he would be the absolute total package and very popular to watch immediately.

Mares and Santa Cruz are names, but let's face it, they don't want to fight anybody good at this point and would choose fighting each other over Lomachenko anyway, a high risk low reward Ukrainian.

Top Rank will likely make Lomachenko-Walters this Autumn.
