Comments Thread For: Salido-Lomachenko Eyed For Chavez vs. Vera II Card

Lamochenko gets legendary status if he beats Salido in his second fight. Salido is f'ing legit. He never stops coming, cuts off the ring very well, has a chin made of stone and dynamite in both fists. Salido might ruin Lamochenkos career before it even begins. Such a massive risk, I can't wait to watch.

I wonder what the Top 10 contenders of the WBO think about Lomachenko getting a title shot in his second professional fight

The 'top 10' contenders for the WBO belt probably don't even deserve to be there. Lomachenko is trying to make history, they should sit back, enjoy and hope they get the winner.

I'm taking Salido in this. It'd be pretty damn amazing if Lomachenko can beat him in his second fight. I think he's getting thrown in with the wolves too early, regardless of the amateur experience. Even Rigo needed a learning curve before he won his title.

I hope this happens, it would be an awesome fight. Props to Lomachenko for challenging himself so much in his 2nd fight.

To all that say he is undeserving, he's a legendary amateur fighter + most top fighters fought some really weak 3-0 type fighters in their first two fights... this guy is clearly taking the quick route and challenging himself, love it.

If he pulls it off, he will probably kick himself for not just doing it in his pro debut. Can't ever beat that record.

You think he didn't want to? Bobfather told him he had to beat a ranked fighter first. Hence the debut.

I'm sure if you were one of those fighters who actually worked hard to get to the top 10 that you would feel cheated that a guy can have 1 fight and get a title fight ahead of them.

Lomachenko is #2 WBO contender himself and WBO International champion, so that you know.

I'm putting big money on Salido if the odd are good, Lomachenko has a chance of course but i think it is too early and a mistake on his part.
