Official Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Orlando Salido RbR & Discussion thread

[DannYankee]

How anybody can pick Salido by decision or Lomachenko by K.O is beyond me.

[Noctilux]

Salido will be remembered as nothing more than a stepping stone to Loma's rise. All this talk of Salido's toughness and durability is amusing.

[Augustane]

Can anyone else see another potential Margarito-Cotto I happening?

[Ray-boom]

Looking forward to fight big time..

This is currently the biggest fight on my radar in awhile , I would say since Matthyse vs Garcia.

[NEETzsche]

lomachenko is an unknown quantity in the pro ranks. he could make a spectacular statement here or fall victim to spectacular failure. i hope it's the former, but salido is no pushover and the pessimist in me says he stops loma late.

Lomachenko decision or Salido with a late stoppage I feel

Intriguing fight. I've never been sold on Lomachenko's power personally. A part of me feels he could have a hard time getting Salido's respect.

[M Bison]

I think Loma might just stop him, if not that I think it should be a fairly good display of his skills he will land at will.

[baya]

salido is a 5-1 underdog?

wtf?

[Ringlife]

I think this fight will be a tough fight for Vasyl but I think he wins a decision in this one.

[soul_survivor]

Who do you think will win?

It would be an amazing achievment if Lomachenko wins a world title in his second pro fight.

Man I dunno, Loma is skilled, talented and was a great amateur. If I'm not mistaken he had a run in that semi-pro league too and won.

But Salido's been in with some of the best around and has fought his heart out. He is proven at the highest level and can hit harder than probably anyone Loma's been in the ring with.

If Loma had continued to fight for the next 5 or 6 bouts at a high level I would pick him, right now I'm not so sure.
