Lomachenko KOs Walters In Bob Arum's 2,000th Promoted Fight

Vasyl Lomachenko last night defended his WBO super-featherweight title against Nicholas Walters, winning by a seventh-round KO at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas (L.A. TIMES, 11/27). The card was Top Rank Chair Bob Arum's 2,000th promoted fight, an "astonishing number and a testament to his longevity and ability to survive -- and thrive -- in such a cutthroat business where he has made as many friends as enemies." Arum before the bout said, "I am sure nobody is close (to 2,000) in the history of boxing." He added, "For me 1,999 is the same number as 2,000. I will only celebrate if this Lomachenko-Walters fight is as great of a fight as I think it will be. If it's not, what's there to celebrate?" (ESPN.com, 11/25). Here, Arum lays out his five favorite fights he has overseen (LAS VEGAS SUN, 11/25).
