, its your own mistake if you dont learn from it, Lowry said of the 18-time major winner last week during the Scottish

Junior lightweight titlist Vasyl Lomachenko did what he usually does: He made it look easy in the ring.Lomachenko put on a masterpiece against Nicholas Walters, toying with him for seven one-sided rounds before making him abruptly quit Saturday night at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.Walters is a good fighter, Lomachenko said through a translator. Hes really strong, but I think he just stood there, which made it easy for me to win.The fight was the main event of the 2,000th card promoted by Top Ranks Bob Arum, the Hall of Famer who is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a promoter this year. Arum has been Lomachenkos biggest fan since signing him out of the 2012 Olympics, in which Lomachenko won the second of his back-to-back gold medals for Ukraine.Leading up to the fight with Walters, Arum said Lomachenko is technically the best fighter that I have seen since the early Muhammad Ali.Arum promoted 27 of Alis fights, as well as those of many other all-time greats, such as Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and Alexis Arguello.After Lomachenkos easy disposal of Walters, Arum stuck by his assessment and said he was not surprised how easily Lomachenko won.I wasnt surprised all, Arum said. I have been his biggest cheerleader from the beginning, sometimes obnoxiously. Hes great. Anybody who loves boxing has to love this kid and the way he performs. If people watch him perform, they will start to love boxing again. Hes better than these regular fighters. He has such special talent that weve never seen anything like it.Walters said electing not to continue was the right decision.It wasnt about quitting, Walters said. If you look at the last round, he caught me with some pretty good shots, and I was holding on just to survive the round. It would be stupid to come out ?after that last round.Lomachenko, 28, is considered by many to be the greatest amateur boxer in history, going 396-1 in the unpaid ranks, with the single loss avenged multiple times. A southpaw,?he was making the first defense of the title he won by a blistering, highlight-reel, fifth-round knockout of Roman Rocky Martinez in June.Lomachenko-Walters was a fight that had been anticipated for more than a year, since both were featherweight titleholders, and it was expected to be a competitive showdown between a gifted technician (Lomachenko) and a power puncher (Axe Man Walters).But it was not that. Not even close.Instead, Lomachenko played with Walters like a cat would a mouse. He negated Walters strong right hand, befuddled him and frustrated him.All the while, Lomachenko peppered Walters with a two-handed attack.Its not about being just strong or being just fast. A lot of things take place, Lomachenko said. Youve got to train, and you have to be highly functional in the ring. So all those things are a combination of what makes me good.Lomachenko stuffed jabs in Walters face and tagged him with straight left hands. Walters never got off any big shots; he was unable to cope with Lomachenkos speed and lateral movement. He simply had no answers for Lomachenko.Lomachenko grew more comfortable with Walters as the rounds went by and really began to open up on offense in the seventh round. Lomachenko pounded Walters with a pair of clean right hands midway through the round and then rocked his head back with a straight left hand.Lomachenko (7-1, 5 KOs) continued to pick up the pace and was lashing Walters as the round wound down. Still, Walters had not been knocked down, he was not cut and did not appear to be hurt. Yet, when referee Tony Weeks went to his corner to check on him after the seventh round, Walters trainer Celso Chavez, told him, No mas.When Weeks asked Walters (26-1-1, 21 KOs), 30, of Jamaica, directly if he wanted to continue, he said, No. Weeks waved off the fight, bringing the much-anticipated bout to an abrupt and wholly unexpected conclusion.Nicholas could not get his punches in on Lomachenko. He was unable to do it, Job Walters, the fighters father and assistant trainer said.Arum said Nicholas Walters told him in the ring after the fight that a left hand to the temple area really hurt him in the seventh round.He told me he was going to get knocked out. He said he got really hurt, Arum said.According to CompuBox punch statistics, Lomachenko landed 114 of 437 punches (26 percent). Walters landed 49 of 264 (19 percent), and none of them appeared to be clean.Walters, who had not boxed in 11 months while holding out for the best deal he could get for Lomachenko -- a career-high guarantee of $550,000 to Lomachenkos first $1 million purse -- sounded as though he was blaming his self-inflicted layoff for his poor performance.Almost a year without fighting. I went up in weight, Walters said. He was more active. So if you watch the fight, you see hes been scoring more than I do. My good shots, they are not connecting. Hes connecting more clearly than I am touching him. In the last round, he started catching me more and more. Hes a good fighter.Walters was stripped of his featherweight belt in June 2015 for missing weight against Miguel Marriaga, and he moved up to face Jason Sosa last December, fighting him to a heavily disputed draw that most saw Walters winning easily. Walters could have faced Lomachenko in June but declined the offer, and Lomachenko took a title off Martinez instead.By beating Martinez, Lomachenko set a boxing record by becoming the only fighter to win world titles in two weight classes by his seventh fight. He won his first world title in his third fight, tying the record for fewest bouts needed to claim a title.Next up, he said he would like to be the fastest to unify titles, calling out fellow titleholder Francisco Vargas (23-0-2, 17 KOs), a 31-year-old former Mexican Olympian.I want Vargas, Lomachenko said.Arum said he would be happy to make the fight but said he did not believe that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya would allow Vargas anywhere near Lomachenko, who would be a massive favorite.If De La Hoya wont let Canelo [Alvarez] fight [Gennady] Golovkin, theres no way in hell hell let Vargas fight Lomachenko, Arum said.Arum said hed like to match Lomachenko in a rematch with former titleholder Orlando Salido, whom Lomachenko faced in his second pro fight for a vacant featherweight belt in 2014 and lost a split decision. Arum said he spoke to Salidos camp before the fight about doing a rematch early next year.Thats unfinished business, Arum said. And then maybe Id take him to England to fight [Terry] Flanagan for his lightweight title. Ive been talking to [Flanagan promoter] Frank [Warren] about it.Beyond that, Arum said he envisions an eventual showdown between Lomachenko and the great Manny Pacquiao at a catch weight of around 138 pounds in late 2017. Arum promotes both fighters and said it is possible.For Lomachenko, revenge against Salido, a third title against Flanagan and a possible victory over Pacquiao would go a long way toward accomplishing his ultimate goal.My goal is to be No. 1 pound for pound, Lomachenko said.After his brilliant display against Walters, he appears to be on his way.

Nike SB Schweiz Outlet . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. TROON, Scotland -- First there was frustration, then there were tears. Then there was the realization that his first major title could just be round the corner.Shane Lowry went through the whole gamut of emotions after throwing away a four-shot lead in the final round of U.S. Open last month. But in this most congested of golfing years, another big tournament is never far away and next up for the cuddly, always-smiling Irishman is the British Open at Royal Troon.I know Ill be back there, Lowry said Wednesday. I know Ill give myself a chance again. Its just up to me to learn from the mistakes of that Sunday afternoon and bring that into the next one.After winning the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational last year and contending in two straight U.S. Opens, Lowry is starting to feel at home on the highest stage.The Irish and Northern Irish have enjoyed unprecedented success in golf over the past decade -- Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke have won nine majors between them since 2007 -- and Lowry is the latest on the production line.Hes not lacking in confidence, either, despite his collapse at Oakmont.I genuinely believe that, without sounding too cocky, I like the big-time play. I like the big tournaments, Lowry said. I love playing in front of the big crowds. I love playing late on Saturdays and Sundays. I think its kind of where you want to be.Recent history is littered with golfers who have rebounded from final-round disappointments at a major tournament to win their first major title soon after. McIlroy won the U.S. Open in 2011, a few months after a meltdown at the Masters; Adam Scott threw away a four-shot lead with four holes to play at the British Open in 2012, and won tthe Masters the following year; and then theres Dustin Johnson, who overhauled Lowry at the U.ddddddddddddS. Open at Oakmont after a string of near misses at majors.Lowry was eager to stress there was no hangover from Oakmont, saying Im well and truly over it and Im not crying myself to sleep every night -- Ill survive.Hes taken advice from the likes of Harrington and McDowell, and even the great Jack Nicklaus had some wise words for Lowry.He said, `Listen, its your own mistake if you dont learn from it, Lowry said of the 18-time major winner last week during the Scottish Open, and I thought that was a good way to put it.Its kind of subconscious stuff, Lowry said Wednesday. When I say you learn from that, you cant really sit down the following week and write stuff down. Its just kind of maturing as both a player and a person when you get yourself into a situation like that. Its nothing you can work on, I dont think. Its just something that you have to keep putting yourself there and you learn eventually.The 27th-ranked Lowry has one top-10 finish in his four previous appearances at the British Open -- at Hoylake in 2014 -- but knows how to play the links. As an Irishman, hes had plenty of practice and recounted the times hes played in 40 mph winds, and when one time he was unable to reach a par-4 in three shots during the Irish Amateur Championship in Portmarnock.He is in a group with Jordan Spieth and Justin Rose for the first two rounds.Its where you want to be in the world of golf, Lowry said, playing with the best players in the world and trying to compete against those.
