The Salido cloud won't go away and is constantly being brought up, I thought it was close but gave an edge to Loma.
How did you guys score this fight?
I had salido 10 rounds and Loma 1 round. This is what I saw and that makes it fact
I've seen every pro fight Loma has ever had and a multitude he's had as an amateur . Unlike you I actually like BOXING not just one or two boxers. Biased *****
You think I like one or two boxers? you played yourself
- never saw the fight

ya'll make your biased agendas to obvious man...
I literally said in my post that I'm a bit biased towards Loma how much more obvious do I need to make it?
Losing is not the end of the world Loma fans :bottle: lol
These cheerleaders have been having a rough time lately tho, they only cheer for a certain group of boxers
GGG is chasing MoneyMay n Nelo but 15 million is not enough for an easy win
Ward wasnt ever gona fight Kovalev then he does lol wins a close match, then no way he rematches lol now hes fighting him
I can see why they are being bother on little stuff it hurts them that the Matrix wont ever win the debate vs MoneyMay if he manages to keep his streak :dance:
Salido won the fight
I didn't watch it live so I wasn't making any great effort to score. Mostly came in to say that the excuses about Salido cheating are so tiresome. I think Salido is one of the dirtiest in the game (and let's not forget, a drug cheat) but you can't go find him and then say, "OMG, he low-blowed me!"
If you sign to fight that dude, you know what you're getting into. If you fight Wlad, you know he's going to clinch. You know Khan is going to push and headlock. You can't act like a little lamb. Hope the ref will do his job, but don't rely on it.
That said, Loma would not lose that fight again. It was a learning experience. Knowledge sometimes comes at a cost.
This thread is funny.
Salido won close but solid win.
I am amused that in a fight Loma lost, the polls is so close.
Look, Lomachenko is a better fighter and he was too green. But he doesn't get bonus points for that.
He lost to a crafty, tough as nails veteran in his second fight. No shame in that. No need to rewrite the past or imagine he won.
I voted for Loma just because I like him. I usually score important fights but for some reason I didn't score this fight. I will watch it again and score it.
People who say he won or lost should post actual score cards when debating a topic like who do you think won. Because if you don't its all just your narratives thats being said. No fight breakdown or substance of each round, just he started to late or Salido did too many low blows which is fine but add something more.
I scored it for Salido. He was in control of much of the fight and Loma was holding too much instead of working the rounds. He was simply just giving Salido the rounds until the end when it was too little too late. Was Salido dirty? Yes he was. Was the reff blind to not see the many low blows landed on Loma? Yes he was. But a judge cannot deduct points unless instructed by the reff. Therefore, Salido won that night IMHO
He clearly lost the fight.
And I am one of a few who DON'T think Loma is materially better now than that fight.
Yeah, he probably IS a little better.
But I don't think the difference in how much better he is now vs then is bigger than than the difference in how good Salido was then and how good some of the guys he is talking about facing are now.
After all, Loma wasn't some inexperienced kid that was going to show huge improvement 3 years in.
He was 26 years old, arguably the best amatuer of all time, and had actually had 6 pro fights before they started counting.
What I'm saying is all these folks who think there is going to be some huge improvement as he goes on may be fooling themselves.
He is 29 NOW.
At a weight where guys can get old fast.
And a style that may not translate as well the higher in weight he goes.
I hope I am wrong, but we might be seeing his peak right now.
Salido CLEARLY won. You can complain all you want about how he won, and I don't blame anyone for doing so, but Lomachenko did not win that fight. Absolutely not.
