Text Klimas published on Twitter.
“Fans in the MGM arena and the boxing world reacted by condemning what they see as an unfair and unfair decision that robbed Lomachenko of his rightful victory and his lifelong goal of becoming the undisputed world champion..
As Loma's team prepares to appeal the decision, and in light of the very controversial outcome of the fight, on behalf of Vassily Lomachenko, I request that the WBA (WBC, WBO, IBF) make Loma number one in the rankings and recognize him as a mandatory contender for the lightweight title.
Loma was denied a ring win on Saturday and he deserves the opportunity to be number one and get another chance to realize his goals as soon as possible."
Recall that the fight in the United States lasted all 12 rounds, and according to its results, all the judges preferred the American champion - 116-112, 115-113, 115-113.
