Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Outlines Vasyl Lomachenko's Hit List

[RaTaTa]

Martinez is a Haymon fighter so no.

When he signed with him?His most fightes were promoted by Bob Arum according to boxrec except his last fight.

^^^^^^Agreed that is why they want the fight at 126, they know lomachenko will outweight the Cuban by a least 12 lbs, actually they counting on the age and size, still Rigondeaux is a heck of a fighter and when pushed he is at his best...

loma agreed to a rehydration clause last time

why not fight in 124 rigo is natural 122

yep, Rigo could go in there and win even with those advantages,
when it comes down to skills, with those 2, it's tough to say who has an advantage over the other

that will not make a difference, a natural 122 against a 135 pounder, with the same set of skills...

Just offer Rigo the fight one more time. Without a rehydration clause. Loma agreed the first time and Rigo still didn't accept, so now tough luck.
If Rigo doesn't want it then oh well. He's the one that needs something not Loma.

One more fight at 126, then move up to 130.

How illogical is this? Loma lost to Salido at "the scale", then somehow suppose to go up a weight class and beat hm? Stop with the excuses, please. Loma just wasn't ready or prepared for Salido's body attack and rough housing tactics.

i'm glad that he's still optimistic about getting the rigondeaux fight made. i think it's almost certain that donaire is next though

This is personal for Arum. He always wanted Rigo get taught a lesson, but didn't have the fighter to do it. He tried with Donaire and was bitter at the outcome. I think he strongly believes Loma is the guy to do it. Hopefully we all get to see. A win for boxing.

Lomachenko is not a "135" pounder, he always makes 126 which is the featherweight limit. You are talking about rehydration weight which is something that just about every fighter does. Some fighters blow up 20 pounds on fight night, others put on 6 or 8 pounds which is fairly normal. You're making it sound as if he fights in the lightweight division. Please don't confuse both as they are not the same thing.

I thought Walters didn't have a belt??? Wasn't that the excuse?

Also, walters is moving up in weight & is fighting jason sosa at Super Featherweight.

So does that mean that Walters would have to go back down in weight or is loma gonna move up?

loma's going to move up, obviously walters cant make 26 anymore
