Comments Thread For: Salido is Going To Impose His Will on Lomachenko

[bojangles1987]

Salido is a monster for someone like Lomachenko to be fighting now. It would be a ridiculously good win.

I think Lom win a decision. But it will be based on his early points lead that he builds up. I expect Lom to start off much faster however Salido gets better during the second half of the fight.

This is a mismatch...
Old man Salido is going to ko this kid easy...

[Citizen Koba]

Salido is going to impose his will, but Loma is going to impose his skill.

Which will earn the win?

I'm really looking forward to this one, and props to Loma for forcing the pace, but I still think a couple more fights would have been a better idea.

I think lomachenko has fought in the wbs, and if he got paid then he ain't 1-0, those fights count as professional contest, so did he fought there or not?

[MDPopescu]

Lomachenko is "Ukrainian school"... Not "old Russian school"... There's a small dilemma here.

[Arma316]

I expect Lomachenko to win.

The experience gap in the pros is huge, but overall Loma has more than enough to deal with this task.

Salido is wide open to counters from a pinpoint boxer who throws straight and short shots. This was on display against Mikey Garcia.

I don't expect Loma to stop Salido, at least not in the early rounds. But I do think his skill level and intelligence will carry the day.

I'm going to pull for Lomachenko, but Salido isn't any normal pro vet, he's a guy that's going to pressure hard and who will most likely go a full 12 rounds. We'll see how the kid deals with a hard fisted pressure fighter for a full fight.

Damn! This is a giant step for Lomachenko to be taking for only being his second pro fight.

He did fight in the WSOB, and I thought those were suppose to Be counted as pro fights, but I've never seen anyone respect that rule, or record.

It doesn't really matter, WSOB is short on rnds, and the opponents are still amateurs.
