How big of a step is Salido?

12 round endurance, professional veteran craft, pressure that only starts after all amateur bouts have already finished are just a few things. Salido has a lot that Loma hasn't seen yet. I was talking about style, but yeah you're right about those things.

Its a huge step up, but I feel he should win. I feel that after 400 amateur fights I don't think salido can bring something he hasn't seen before. 12 round endurance, professional veteran craft, pressure that only starts after all amateur bouts have already finished are just a few things.

For a 2nd pro fight it is a huge step up. But Bob Arum isn't stupid. Top Rank knows what they are doing. Salido is well past it and will give Lomachenko plenty of opportunities to look like a world beater.

in your second pro fight to fight a tough guy who is a champion, although slightly crude but still, with over 40 fights thats crazy!!!!! Even Ramirez was a huge accomplishment, yes he was a can but he was 25-2 when lomachenko fought him Most guys first 5 fights are against guys who are 2-0 3-2, 0-2, 4-2 etc.

hey its better than what gary russell has done his whole career .. tba champ lol ... i actually saw the haya fight few days ago .. its not like he got out class or anything.. he dominated first and almost had haya out in the second shots after shot ..then 3rd literally chasing him corner to corner had haya wobbled and had him hunched over from body shots was finishing him swinging from the fence and got careless really careless caught throwing long left hook didnt recover till the fifth then game over stopped him in 8th .. i wont put to much on that fight man that crowd went silent when salido drop **** was crazy The Haya fight just shows Salido is very easy to hit flush and hard repeatedly against even limited opposition. I respect Salido and he's a solid guy, but I think Lomachenko already has elite level skills. We'll know in 2 days.

It's a great big huge giant step and I think he will trip and fall on his face with some help from Salido's punches.

Salido is a solid veteran and champion, especially for a guy in his 2nd pro fight (or 7th). That said, he's clearly declining and although he beat Juanma twice, he's never been elite or close to it. He went life and death with Weng Haya FFS. Lomachenko has more than enough to beat and stop him IMO. hey its better than what gary russell has done his whole career .. tba champ lol ... i actually saw the haya fight few days ago .. its not like he got out class or anything.. he dominated first and almost had haya out in the second shots after shot ..then 3rd literally chasing him corner to corner had haya wobbled and had him hunched over from body shots was finishing him swinging from the fence and got careless really careless caught throwing long left hook didnt recover till the fifth then game over stopped him in 8th .. i wont put to much on that fight man that crowd went silent when salido drop **** was crazy

He's only Mikeys and Gamboa's best wins and the #2 FW title holder He would be a step up for just about anyone at FW let alone a fighter in his 2nd fight

For your second fight? A pretty big fawking step.

True. I think he even got dropped by a jab against Mikey... one was a slip if i remember correctly .. salido was still pushing the pace that mf is no joke! he might not be a fresh young salido but this man is a g ... he destroy orlando cruz with body shot after body shot .. salido has certain pop to every throw.. loma is going to drown late or pull of a entertaining tough win .. wtching him in wsb and against ramirez im not sold on him .. he got the goods and a big 126 pounder but idk likes to let people tee off while he re sets and shoe shines alot .... last 6 years only elite fighters have beat salido gamboa at the time and mickey garcia i dont think loma .. also been knockout 5 times all under the age of 19 and under also was knocked out pro debut at 15 years old!!! this is man is a fighter ... does good against leftys as well robert guerreo (steriods) lopez, orland cruz , and loma came in last fight 129 .. salido on fight night came in at 140! lomachenko is going to really fight his as off

a really big one, loma is fighting for a title in his 2º pro fight against a 3 times world champion.

He still has power, stamina, and his skills etc but he's declining rapidly. Look at the shots that were dropping him in that fight. Salido was known for his chin but now he get's dropped regularly. His fight with Weng Haya before the second Lopez fight he got dropped twice and once badly. He was dominating the fight and went on to stop it but it just tells you a lot. The second Lopez fight he got dropped unlike the first one. Then got dropped something like 5 or 6 times against Mikey. Every solid punch was dropping him. His resistance is not high at all at this point. He's been in one war too many. Don't get me wrong he's not shot and would be a very impressive win for the new guy but these are things we have to consider. If he has legit power and he hits Saldio he's going to hurt him. True. I think he even got dropped by a jab against Mikey...

IMO Salido was coming on strong in the end of the Garcia fight too. He still has power, stamina, and his skills etc but he's declining rapidly. Look at the shots that were dropping him in that fight.

Honestly if Loma pulls it off CLEAN then that's ****ing huge It's a major step up

IMO Salido was coming on strong in the end of the Garcia fight too.

It's a huge step... Titlists like ggg, Stieglitz, Andrade haven't foughtna guy as good as salido To do it in your 2nd fight is amazing I agree with this. It's incredible. Ramirez is basically tomato can level and to go from Ramirez to Salido is admirable.

Huge step up but we also have to consider that Salido is well passed it and declining fast. His punch resistance is not very high at this point.
