Theoretically we could have been getting a Lomachenko vs Hughes fight. Both got very close "challenged" decisions in their last fights. Throw in the Catterall decision against Taylor and we have 3 career paths that change drastically. Hope we see fair calls with Fulton vs Inoue https://t.co/XYDxF7AGmz

Canelo concided to GGG. Spence conceded to Crawford. Haney conceded to Lomachenko. Just off the dome. https://t.co/wTbRWRaVif

And yes you can love a fighter but know that “styles make fights” and that one of your favorite fighters should avoid another one sometimes and that’s ok. Vinny Paz should never have fought Roy Jones, Gatti never should have fought Floyd, and George shouldn’t fight Lomachenko!

Kambosos: “We got a big stadium fight coming” against Lomachenko https://t.co/GrciGspDOn

Lomachenko is 3-2 in his last 5 and Shakur is 1-0 as a lightweight. It is far from a foregone conclusion that they are the two best 135-pounders and they should have to earn their way to undisputed like anyone else. https://t.co/XGPmr4Q12a

So …. looks like I have to watch the Kambosos-Hughes fight, based on the reaction on Twitter (I was covering the fight card in Santa Ynez). Was the outcry from the decision similar to Golovkin-Canelo I or Haney-Lomachenko? #boxing #KambososHughes

I’ll be real, I think people blow every good thing Inoue does out of proportion. Similar to Lomachenko. That is the root of my dislike of both those fighters. I know they are great fighters, I just think their fan bases wildly exaggerate their greatness.
