Lomachenko Wants Salido vs Cruz Winner

[Nelson Muntz]

Give the man his title shot.

Well he faced the top amateurs in the world. It prepares him 100X more then fighting complete bums with records like 3-10 for 2 years that he completely destroys. Those amateurs he faced are probably as good as pros ranked in the 30s, maybe even better.

Only that worries me is it being a 12 round fight, since he's never even fought half of that against a relentless guy like Salido who never stops coming

The main difference is that in pro boxing fights you have to go 10-12 rounds, while in the amateurs you only have to fight 3 rounds.

So even if Lomachenko faced great amateur competition and they were better than many pro gatekeepers and cab drivers, he's still completely unproven at 10-12 round boxing matches. There's only a way to prepare for 10 rounders and that's by fighting 10 rounders, period.

alright since most peopel already viewed this thread and won't come back, also most might not forget this or take it serious) here's somethign that havent been mentioned to reporters.

I know for fact, that Vasya spars 15 rounds, 2-3 times a week. Don't ask me further questions. Does he spar professionals - no. but hes been preparing for pro 12 rounds for awhile already. be patient, and who knows, may be he is next Ali, and if he loses his 1st or 2nd fight for title - then be it.

I'm out to bed, peace

That would be one loss no one could hold too much against him, especially if he gave any world champion a good fight. If he won? Holy hell.

Sparrimg 16 rounds isn't anywhere near the same as fighting 12 rounds. I know pro boxers that spar 30 rounds and they arent even world class level. Its not wrong to.say that he's not ready for a world title fight. Its the truth.

He's been fighting 5 Rounders in the WSB. If that's the only way to prepare, then how do you fight a 12 rounder in the first place?

Arum is too smart to let him do this (if that's who his promoter is.) Salido would drag him into deep waters and beat him right now IMO.

Also I don't know how I feel about an unranked fighter just jumping to the top of the line over all the other contenders. Doesn't seem right, he should work his way up the ladder like everyone else.

I'm aware. Muay Thai fights are 5 rounds by the way so that experience wasn't any help with 12 rounds or the fact that it's a completely different sport. Muangsurin in 3 and Payakaroon in 4 fights did it though. Big accomplishments require big risk and Vasyl and his Father are confident. I'll be watching and so will you.

Muay Thai prepares your legs and it's seriously brutal going five hard rounds from 10 years old. It prepares you for the rigours of a hard 12 round pro boxing fight better than a 3 round amateur boxing session with headgear does.

I'll be watching no matter what he does, but if they do it this way, they are ******. It's that simple. Put him in with a much faded former champion for 8/10 rounds first up and see how it goes. Someone more faded than Salido though.

Salido is fighting Cruz for a title, and also look who he fought in year after he beat Lopez for the titles, were they "contenders who deserved it"?

Everybody "skips in line"

[Mayweather41-0]

this kid has serious talent but he needs to slow his roll. Orlando Salido crushes him this aint the amateur game
