Personally, I had Lomachenko winning by 1 point, and that was with the 11th round being scored 10-8. I felt Lomachenko's work in that round was equal to a knockdown and the drama that typically follows.
All that having been said, I don't have a problem with the judges scoring a split decision for Salido. The man had a great gameplan and I've always respected his uncompromising approach in the ring.
As for Lomachenko, no worries. I think he gave a great accounting for himself in his second pro fight, and I think he learned as much as he would have from 20 pro fights.
One thing I think he'll take from this fight is NEVER allow your opponent to come into the fight with a significant weight advantage.
By allowing Salido that advantage, Lomachenko was basically forced to fight a man several weight classes above him. Not only that, but he was also disadvantaged by the physical burden of having made weight while his opponent was not.
The effects of this were clear in this fight, and I'm quite sure that Salido knows that not many fighters at this level would have allowed him to enjoy such a huge advantage. He knew Lomachenko was desperate for this fight, and as a result, wouldn't risk putting it off.
I doubt Lomachenko, however, ever goes for something like that again. Power and physical presence are part of his game, he won't allow weight to take away that advantage ever again.

How the hell did lomenchenko lose this fight??????
Not only was solido on peds, and overweight. But Loma was slipping punches and countering Solido in the face all night.
The only decent shots I say was this random wild hook in the 3rd and te rest are low blows.
This fight is a disgrace, lOMA NOT ONLY WON Against a cheat, but the guy even if he was ahead should ave been Dsiqualified for this body blows.
and round 12 was a 10-8 round.
Seems like the yanks are scared of Europe taking the shine away from their fighters.....

There is a reason why GGG, Kovalev, wlad and vitali fight mostly bums. WHen they fight real fighters ike Salido they tend to lose. Loma gets credit for not following the eastern european blueprint for success by trying to beat a realy tough champion so early.
Oh, yeah-stop the blood clot crying bwoy!

Originally posted by McAlisternot sure what fight yall were watching, but Lomo got worked... he finally decided to try to come on like what the last 2 rds?...
Salido used dirty tactics and hella low blows, but that only would have made the fight closer if he had points taken away... he was winning the fight though
The only thing Solido worked was lomas midrift.
Notice a certain demographic belittling Lomas incredible achievements....

Lomachenko is receiving criticism for not fighting (dirty) back,that's when you know boxing fans don't understand character. And if he was to complain to the referee he would be called either a hypocrite or a whiner.
