    I don't like Arum but he has done a decent job with Lomachenko. He was setting him up for a big clash against Nicholas Walters to close out the year but the Axe Man screwed all that up by not making weight and having to vacate his belt.

    Not Arum's fault.

      I'm a big Loma fan, but that was a duck... Although now Loma is entertaining the possibility of a fight with Walters... At the time (right after Walter's fight with the Colombian) Loma explicitly said that fight was now off the table because of the weight WITHOUT even trying to negotiate with Walters first about weight... But it seems that has changed... Anyways...

      Who Loma needs to fight in no particular order ASAP:

      1) Rigo
      2) Rigo
      3) Rigo

      It shouldn't just be a priority for Loma but a priority for the boxing world to make this historic fight.

        Meh, I'll wait till Loma has at least 10 fights before bashing his competition.

        I highly doubt he's afraid of anybody at 126.

          Loma should be fighting more often than twice a year!

          At this pace, he'll be past prime by the time he has 12 fights.

            Seems like fighters 130lbs and under have more promoter issues and contract disputes then fights.

            Idk what is. I'm guess they want more money considering how good there opposition can be. But they have to under stand that there not gonna see multi millions every fight.

              True. 4 times a year would be nice. He is 27 after all.

                Yep already 27, top rank better give him some kind of fights between some big fights. He could waste away his best years.

                  The best two fights are with Rigo and Waltes. Loma refuses to give rigo a catchweight and refuses to fight Walters because he no longer has a belt. Don't see how that's Arum's fault.

                    There are many others like Donaire and Vetyeka.

                      Arum tried to set him up with tons of fighters. Everyone wanted to see Loma vs Walters and Arum was fully on board till Walters dropped the title on the scales.

                      He's trying to set him up with Rigo (though Loma said he's not doing a CW) and Donaire (if he wins the 122 title since he can fight for the 126 title).
