Comments Thread For: Orlando Salido: Vasyl Lomachenko is Nothing Special

[Sugar Adam Ali]

But he's about impossible to keep down. Mikey was dropping him at will, still Salido never stops coming

True, he does keep coming, but eventually he wont,, guys like margs, hatton, frazier, salido can only take so much punishment,,, eventually he will fall,,

kinda like when vargas got up everytime vs tito, but then vs shane he got completely ko'd.......
Even the bravest of fighters eventually crumble,,

You can't really call this one with any guarantee because of the short pro career of Lomachenko so far, very excited. If i had to go one way or the other i would pick Salido as he is underrated and this fight might be too soon for Lomachenko who does look like a special talent but has never faced anybody has tough and relentless and sometimes even dirty as Salido before.

If Lomachenko wins, especially if he dominates or gets a stoppage then i'll be really really impressed.

You're right, still he'll take some chopping down. Not sure this guy is ready, we'll see. At least it's very interesting, unlike Salido murdering some random Japanese dude off US TV, which is what richardt is angry for missing out on.

If lomanchenko stops salido,, he will get more hype than ggg, lucas, kovolav combined,,,,
Mark my words,, NSB will have about a billion threads about lomo if this happens

Arum will call Salido for a meeting and everything will settle down.

This feels like a disaster in the making.

I can see some very special traits in Lomachenko, but I wish they wouldn't rush him so fast. On the other hand, if he wants it, I respect his willingness to not mess around and start mixing it up now.

This is just crazy if this kid beats Salido, he must Russell Jr after that

This kid getting rush!

[richardt]

I think he's dumb to go for Salido, but I really can't understand this response at all. Title shots are not at a premium in these divisions, look at Chris John's entire resume. This guy dares to be great and should be respected. How the fcuk did Orlando Cruz get his title shot, by coming out?

I agree about a lot of these guys not deserving a shot and Cruz really did nothing to deserve one and now they are saying Gary Russell might get one and he has done nothing late, even if he does have some skills. I would pick Russell any day over Lom though. But I don't like how a guy with one damn fight gets to go in front of the line. That does not sit well with me and that's just how I feel.

Did I miss something here? Not sure what Japanese guy this is referring to or my involvement. Maybe I forgot something.

I'm just saying, Salido had a defense vs some Kenichi Yamaguchi guy, who's probably not top 5 in Japan. Then Franco passes on a title shot. Then Dib loses to Gradovich, who'd fought noone. Then Gradovich defends against Munoz and Dib. You think these guys are more worthy cause they keep losing near world level? Look at all the bums Chris John has fought, these guys more worthy? You'd rather they keep fighting these bums off TV, then have a very meaningful nailbiter on HBO?

This Loma guy is worthier than all of them cause he could be coasting to a vacant title like most top prospects, yet chooses an extremely risky path that could kill a very promising career before it starts
