A 2-0 record against Ramirez and Salido is a hell of a lot better than a 40-0 record against the town drunks, second cousins, and bums making their own pro debuts. Boxing needs regulation.
I hear you and agree, but when you think about it boxing has plenty of regulation. If you lose more than you win, you don't get to the big money. I hadn't seen Lomachenko until last nite so I'm thinking he's going to get regulated to the back of the pack in January.
Bob Arum is not stupid when it comes to boxing and boxing talent, so there is a question in the back of my mind about what Arum sees that we don't or knows that we don't. The next few months should be interesting.

What the heck is Bob planning Maybe nothing.
