Comments Thread For: Salido: Lomachenko's Title Shot Disrespects Everyone

[Weebler I]

I think it's voluntary since Loma has only one win and his first fight was not for the top contender of Salido's belt

Then what's he complaining about. If he feels that strongly turn the fight down.

I'm thinking the same way as you are. If Salido does not warrant or feels that he's not worthy he should have just rejected the fight. But I guess Loma offered him more money

He'a got a point. You have fighters working their bollocks off for years to get into title contention, then some golden boy comes along and walks right in.

Neither one of you know what's going on behind closed doors. Lomachenko somehow is ranked #5 by the WBO after just 1 fight.

Salido is expressing his feelings cause he's one of the few that has had to work his ass off to be where he's at right now.

Don't worry Loma will beat the people who are next in line

Lomachenko has almost 400 fights winning championship after championship, it's not like he's been sitting around.

Granted, doesn't deserve a title shot, but unless he's a mandatory Salido's the one giving it to him.

So Am I right to assume that your saying Loma is a mandatory fight and not a voluntary?

If Loma beats Salido, who cares? He obviously deserves to be champion and is good enough if he wins. Besides this is no worse then Cruz getting a title shot just because he's gay.


If Lomachenko beats Salido in his 2nd pro fight, he is on a ATG/GOAT pace to start his career. Obviously that can be derailed, but ATG pace after potentially beating Salido while being 2-0 is undeniable.


Haters gonna hate. He should be getting praised for wanting to fight the best instead of being pampered by fighting 40 UPS package handlers and then being gifted a million dollar payday.

He fought a ranked fighter by the sanctioning body in his first fight, this is a legit title defense by Salido due to that. Every other fighter coming out of the amateurs has the ability to fight any ranked contenders and get themselves ranked within the sanctioning bodies, they just either A) don't have the ambition/desire to move that quickly, or B) they're promoter is unwilling/can't get it done........Lomachenko is a TWO time gold medalist in the Olympics and he told Arum he wants to get moved as quick as possible.... of course Arum is going to say yes and make the necessary moves to get it done.

What's the problem here? Now if Lomachenko fought for a title in his FIRST fight - i.e the Ramirez fight was for a title..... then there should be a problem and something isn't right. But that wasn't possible and this is indeed a legit title defense for Salido

Salido would be more sensitive to this than most. Talk about earning his belts the hard way.

It would be something crazy if Lomachenko wins.

Also the funny thing is most of the posters complaining about the guys "who worked their asses off for years" to be ranked by a sanctioning body are getting blackballed..... are the same ones who complain that a well-known title holder is cherrypicking/fighting pointless tomato cans when they fight a mandatory challenger for example (that guy who worked his ass off for years)


Like if Selcuk Aydin would of beaten Guerrero and became Floyds mandatory, some of the same people complaining about Loma would of been laughing at that and telling Floyd to vacate his title.
