The only reason why he was taken into custody in the first place was because he's a known boxer which translates into a possible good amount on bribe money. Otherwise he would have gotten a slap and a free pass....

THAT, is one of the reasons why I love boxing
Arum blew it, plain and simple..... and he likely ignored the advice of Goodman and/or Trampler imho
those guys understand this game, they know about the many adjustments that a top amateur needs to make in order to be successful as a pro.....
and they know all of the many obvious pitfalls/problems that can wreck a good gameplan..... like, your opponent coming in heavy
FACT: a well-known " given " in boxing is..... you do not put a rookie in there with a vet..... ESPECIALLY not a vet who is..... 1) right on top of his game..... 2) a REAL tough vet, who will be in there no question, for 12 HARD rounds
FACT: you don't break a " given " in boxing..... EVER..... that is why it is called a given
FACT: you don't cut corners, and you don't take shortcuts
Loma had two weaknesses at that point in time..... and Arum matched him up with an opponent who was perfectly positioned to exploit BOTH of them
Arum should never have put Loma in a position where he was going to be the inexperienced opponent for 12 HARD rounds..... because it was possible, even likely, that his guy would be dragged into deep water
and he should never have put him in a position where his opponent simply coming in heavy could leave his inexperienced fighter at such a disadvantage
Loma is obviously a much better fighter than Siri, and because of that experience, would have cleanly/clearly won an immediate rematch imho
I was delighted to see Bob fall flat on his face, but disappointed for Lomachenko
those lessons had already been learned..... but Arum got impatient, and he cut corners..... most likely because he (correctly) saw that Loma was special..... and because he (correctly) had a ton of faith in him to pull off BIG wins..... but, you do not break a "given" in boxing
like a wise man once said.....
" patience you must have my young padawan "
and not only did they expose Loma to those two disadvantages, they did it against a guy who was a bad style match-up
a bad style match up..... for an inexperienced fighter who was not used to going 12 rounds, let alone 12 HARD rounds..... against an opponent who could gain a big advantage simply by coming in heavy, which has been done PLENTY of times in the past..... oldest trick in the book, cheat, and then say sorry .
horrible decision by Arum
