Lomachenko would need to be careful with what he asks for, he needs to get a referee who breaks the clinches up like the referee in control of the Wladimir vs Kubrat fight.
Whenever a clinch happened the referee would separate them both up, this is exactly what didn't happen in the Loma vs Salido fight!
Its exactly what cost Loma the fight, that and the referee not acknowledging the fact Salido was only throwing low blows and he never got deducted points for it.
I guess it would be similar to their first fight. You think that Lomachenko improved significantly just one-two fights after the Salido loss?
He doesn't need to improve significantly, fight was very close, he just needs to take none of Salido's b/s and insist on a competent referee.
People talking about Salido drained, but after weighing in overweight the guy went into the ring as a welterweight at 147lbs, while Loma went in as a lightweight at 136lbs.
But honestly, the first fight wasn't entertaining and I have no burning desire to see a rematch any time soon. Lomachenko v Axe man is the big fight right now.
I guess it would be similar to their first fight. You think that Lomachenko improved significantly just one-two fights after the Salido loss? I don't think so. Maybe this time Loma would win by SD on a hard fight or maybe Salido in the same fashion as last time but I really don't see that Lomachenko improved so much that he would KO easily Salido on their rematch. Maximum a convincing UD win, Lomachenko doesn't seems to me a particularly big puncher. His KO on his first fight was nice but after that I didn't see anything from him what suggests that he is a big hitter and he would KO Salido. And Salido at this time would fight in a comfortable weight he wouldn't have to (try to) drain himself. But I don't know why Loma wants that rematch already. Just stay in featherweight and try to unifiy. Other champs want it also and 126 is a better division right now than the 130.
Lomachenko wants a Solido rematch after he moves up to 130.
Who do you think wins this fight.
Siri wins via stoppage at 130 due to better power and because Loma is now sporting a sh1t 80's haircut.
That fight was BS. Laurence Cole was reffing and let Salido foul like crazy with the nut shots. Salido also came in overweight. Seriously, **** that fight.
Loma will murk Salido if it does happen now.
The fight means nothing, so what if loma wins he didn't beat salido when it matter and guy was past his prime then and salido will be a shell of himself if they fight
Yeah, would like to see it. Would be more of a fair fight and it would be good for Loma to get that revenge, seeing as avenging defeats makes a big difference - especially on this forum it seems - to a fighter's resume.
UD Vasya or maybe a late stoppage, depending on if he carries some more power at the higher weight.
I think Lomachenko would likely win a rematch down the line. An overweight Salido pulled out all the stops in the first fight and only just got it done.
Not really interested in the fight right now.
I would put that fight in the past. Avenging your loss is great but fans know that Lomachenko was way too small on fight night, and Salido came in overweight. Also, it was just one of those justice served type of wins. Vets like Salido can't just let these successful Olympic fighters think they can come in to the pro world and get an undeserved title shot. I think Loma proved himself against Russell. He should leave Salido in the past.
