Comments Thread For: Photos: Salido is in Top Form For Lomachenko Defense

[HeroBando]

Lomachenko is big underdog at -600

Pretty ridiculous

That doesn't make sense. He's probably the favorite, but nowhere that wide

Insane how big of an underdog Salido is here...almost 5-1

I like Salido here

It kind of undermines a division of contenders, a world title and to an extent the sport.

Most of all, it's so ****ing weird to see a world title fight with a measly (1-0) record next to the contender.

Unless of course it's Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, because he did that all the time.

Dude fought debut opponents well after 80 fights

Lol yea i meant favorite

can't wait for Salido to smack this Russian to the back of the line... this is blatantly disrespectful to those that have worked through the rankings

Its prize fighting, your name is your brand-whatever you say about the Loma its irrelevant, his current status allows him to do what he's doing.

Loma will completely outclass him, mad to say about a man with 1 pro fight behind him but he will take Salido to pieces and stop him around the 9th round. I honestly believe this man will be p4p 1 before he has had 10 fights, so good its silly. His record of 396-1 at amateur level is incredible and justifies him moving straight to top level.

Well Loma made his name in amatures. Why dont others do it or maybe Lomas just that talented to win over 350 fights and losing only once

What this guy said...

You can develop yourself into a top athlete in the amateurs and I personally think Loma has done that.

Fighting past those later rounds ofcourse will always have some people sketch as to whether he has the heart but that's what good preparation and training is for, he went quite far with his first opponent just for a first fight and he looked very good.

Who knows what will happen in this one but I'm rooting for Loma, he is definitely good for boxing.

I think they expect Loma to do a similar job on Salido that Gamboa did. Risky! Love Salido. He completely ruined Juanmas career.

Serious?

It's kinda a risk without really knowing Lomas status as a pro, but hell, those are odds I'd take any time.

Dammit - can't wait for this fight...gonna be counting down the days.

EDIT - ah so he's the favourite then....I was assuming you meant Salido was -600. That makes more sense. Still I think Salidos being undersold there, he ain't anybodys pushover.
