Official Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Orlando Salido RbR & Discussion thread

[DonSimon87]

Good - the better man won and got the decision.

Now that ends that hype train, who's next?

[The Problem Child]

SALIDOOOOO!!! WOOOOOOO!! Got that one right, now I need Chavez to knock out Vera and I win my two bets!

[-MEGA-]

Time to hit the bank....what a sucker!

This fight is so frustrating to defend as a Boxing Fan

Lomma gets a "Title" fight in his "2nd" fight
Salido didn't even attempt to make Weight
Ref was completely incompetent
Low blow after Low Blow after Low Blow

YUCK all the way around

This post says it best.

Rigo beats both of them. At the same time.

[bojangles1987]

Loma's talent and potential is off the charts, he just wasn't the least bit ready for a fight like this. This doesn't mean he's a bum or that he won't become a good fighter. Hell, I'd pick him to beat Salido in a rematch.

This was a risk that backfired. I applaud that he took it.

[Cutthroat]

HBO has stepped up their bias to an entire different level. Salido looked old, bloated and slow and still beat the supposed future ATG.

Agreed, Salido looked like he was fighting in slow motion. Loma is lucky he didn't fight an in shape world class fighter.

11lbs is a pretty substantial weight advantage between two well trained guys, especially fighting in around 130lbs

agreed especially with ability to take punches. I can't say anything bad about loma after this fight still interested in seeing his future fights
