Official Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Orlando Salido RbR & Discussion thread

[dan_cov]

Tbh it was the worst Salido I've seen, I think the wars have really caught upto him. That is not the same guy who fought Lopez, Gamboa and the likes

I'll say it now I don't think Lomachenko will bounce back. I don't see the talent in fact I see absolutely nothing at all he does brilliantly.
Overachieving amateur if you ask me.

He has no jab, very little power and is always going to have trouble keeping guys off him. For all the talk about how good he supposedly was on the inside all I seen was clinching.
Limited and doesn't take a shot well to body or head.

Back of the line and work your way up like everyone else had to.

If Salido Urine is dirty tomorrow Lomo can still keep his "Oh" . We'll wait for the result ,he's done it before ..

Rigo vs Cordoba was a learning experience. Rigo got dropped and said **** it, I'm going to do what I know best and that was move and score points like in the amateurs.

But he won the fight.

So funny seeing a lot of Rigo fanboys being so hypocrite.

Anyways , Loma has talent. Just too soon to face a fighter like Salido.

I hope he can drop the holding. But I guess they came in looking at it as a must do to keep Salido from completely bombing away.

You can say Salido would have been that much more successful if Loma had not held that much. Still , it's annoying to us fans seeing it but I kind of understand it. Hope it doesn't become a habit against every fighter.

I'm a fan of the kid. This is probably the most adversity he could have been presented with at this point and he just came up a little short due to experience (professional) IMO. He didn't back away and tried his hardest. Much props to him and with some good managing he could have a very good career.

Vera was more effective..but I'm sure Chavez jr "won" the round
