    All I know is that Verdejo - Lomachenko is already my most desired future fight

      Really don't think they should be rushing him from the get go, though. He's not really old and I'd like to see the guy develop as a professional and not burn out after a couple of years.
      Funny thing is he is excellent on the inside. Not sure why he didn't show it and fight more on the inside but i suspect it had to do with him wanting to pace himself for 10 rounds. He said he wanted to go the distance and didn't mean to knock Ramirez out.

        Lomachenko is very good on the inside but he is also a very smart fighter. I think he saw early that Ramirez was comfortable in close so decided to try put a little more distance between them.

        When we see loma versus a more defensive technical fighter we'll see him at his best Imo

          He has had fights without headgear but this is his first pro fight with a proper training camp and hype around it. His WSB fights were as part of a team, this was him out by him self.

          I agree though we shouldn't be thinking of him as a 1-0 fighter ...

            He was impressive for sure, to me it looked like he wasn't displaying his best talent because of the pressure. I think Salido might suffer a KO loss against Loma to be honest, he's a little too wide, too slow, and his age will most likely show when he faces the Ukrainian.

            His face will get cut up with his (Loma) fast punches.

              I thought he looked great and will be a future star.

              The only thing that bothers me is that like Rigo, he should have turned pro a long time ago.

              I hate when talented fighters stay in the amateurs too long.
