    Official Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Orlando Salido RbR & Discussion thread

    Who do you think will win?

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

    I'll take Lomachenko to win here. But it's going to be a very tough fight imo.

    Has anyone glanced at the odds for this fight?

    Salido is somehow almost a 5 point underdog!!! I was shocked when I saw it. I like Lomachenko, but this is a massive step up in competition against a very tough and durable fighter in Salido. He should not be that big of a favorite.

      Salido takes him out. Lomachenko looked good in his debut, but he doesn't have enough to keep Salido off him. Salido grinds him down for maybe a knockout or knocks him down a couple of times to win a decision.

        Salido looks like a deer in headlights when faced with speed and movement, and is one slow fker unless Lomachenko forgets defense, and goes crazy he should take this on points with ease.

          Difficult to predict. Talent alone heavily favors Vassya, but Salido is not somebody you fight in your 2ND fight!
          I will be heavily rooting for Vassya, but if you put a gun to my head and i was forced to pick: Salido by late TKO Too much grit for a green Vassya.

          I hope he proves me wrong though.

            What worries me is that Lomachenko has never gone into later rounds. His stamina has never been tested.

            Salido is a tough man and will likely survive the early rounds, although Lomachenko will surely outbox him and be ahead on the cards. But what happens in the later rounds, can Vasyl still move as quickly when he's tired?
            I hope he can, but something tells me that Salido will walk him down after getting lit up in the early rounds.

              Loma is gonna be turning Salido and landing his straight left flush all night or until Salido cant continue.

                  Solido by late Kayo is the only logical conclusion at this current time.

                    Not his 2nd pro fight, but still impressive.
