Lomachenko said he thought he won the fight but didn't call for a rematch

Highly doubt he wouldn't although you raise a fair point. And we don't know what conversations are being had behind closed doors where it matters, not every fighter runs to rant on twitter.

I'm not talking about Twitter. I posted his post fight interview where he was asked what's next. He didn't say a rematch. If he felt he won why wouldn't he call for an immediate rematch when asked?

I had it 7-5 at first. After rewatching I had it 8-4. If I watch a 3rd time, I may have it 9-3.

Close superfights merit a rematch. It would be easy for Arum to make it happen. Arum calls the shots, not Teofimo. If Arum opts not to make the rematch then it shows he wants to protect Lopez and move him on to easier safer fights to build his brand. If Arum opts to bypass the rematch, it would make the first fight suspect, in that it's highly probably Arum rigged the judges and told Lopez to box safe and go 12 and the judges are bought.

Absolutely no reason for Arum to blockade the rematch other than to protect his new franchise asset.

Loma doesn't want a rematch. Stop blaming everybody else

He dont need to ask for sht. If there is a rematch clause in the contract, it’ll happen regardless.

If Arum wants a rematch it will happen. The question is Does Arum want the rematch? Would Arum take the chance to have his new star franchise lose to the old Ukrainian?

Loma looks like he’s dressed up as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with that big red honker.

And it’s not even Halloween, much less Christmas.

Funny how that happened when Lopez never hit him (according to Loma fanbois).

There isn't one

There isn't one

These things get discussed behind closed doors and fighters dont need to mention sht in front of cameras.

Lopez said there was no rematch clause

Give him time. He specifically stated he needs to go home and rewatch the fight and that he doesn't agree with the decision.

I have no idea what he/his team were thinking in there. Think he's still in shock and believes he got robbed or set up. Once he rewatches it and sees what everyone else saw (which is 6-6 at best, 8-4 at worst), I expect him to call for a rematch. Patience.
