From what I've seen of Lomachenko I believe he will win this fight. He has the skill set (movement, accurate counter punching, body attack etc) to beat Salido. It is going to be a very tough fight though. The most concerning aspect will be Lomachenko's stamina. The second half of the fight will be very interesting. Salido will keep the heat on for all 12 rounds (if it goes that long). I can't wait for this fight.

I can't agree more. Salido is tough as nails and will be on top of you for 12 rounds. Mikey dropped him 3/4??? times early and the mother****er was still coming on strong late. Very interesting and unique fight. Very hard to predict because of how little we know of lomachenko as a Pro.

Hi-Tek is going at it hard

He is a good fighter, but has some amateur habits that he needs to get away from. He throws a lot of punches when moving in the opposite direction, like he will throw a right hook when swiveling to his right. He still has a habit of just trying to land punches.

If he does too much of that against Salido he will have a long night.

I'm a Loma***ual no doubt but there is definitely some tweaking needed if he's going to beat Salido.

My biggest issue with hos style that ive seen so far is his reliance on a high energy style, both to land his own punches and to avoid them. Imo he was starting to look tired late in some of his 5round WSB fights and over 12 against a hard body puncher like Salido this could be a huge issue.

Another aspect i didn't like against Ramirez (which was a crazy good win for a debut) was his inability to slow Ramirez' work down on the inside. Ramirez ain't a big puncher so it wasn't a.huge issue in that fight bit he's going to need to find a better answer against Salido.

I definitely think he can do it though. And his team are saying and doing all the right things in terms of recognizing where they are at in the pro game and bring in pro coaches to help his development. Hell even if he loses this fight its not the end of the world he can still be a great fighter if he wants it

This guy looks ready to make history,which i think he will!!

Put it this way, when you take into account Loma's accomplishments in terms of the amateurs, his level of domination, his natural gifts, his crowd-pleasing style, and his unrecorded World Series of Boxing wins, and to add he beat a fringe contender, not just some bum, and one that was never stopped before in his first pro fight...there is clearly a case for him to get this fight.

Fans often complain that the best don't fight the best in our sport - if you have the talent and potential why wait or be held back? Would any of you guys prefer Salido to be fighting an inferior fighter who had no chance of winning yet 'worked his way up' just for the principle of it being more fair? If anything this kills 2 birds with one stone, either we get an immediate potential p4p star, or a hype job. I sure think it's better than having these big prospects fight some cans for 20 fights and waste their youth trying to build up impressive records and take the easy way into success.

No doubt i never said Loma never deserved it as im a big advocate of olympic medalists being moved faster. Rigo is one prime example. I think its a great matchup considering hes being thrown to the wolves (professional context) too early but does have the amateur exp to back it. So we shall see how it turns out. Very interesting match up indeed.

Salido should KO this dude. Second pro fight against a world class pressure fighter with every dirty trick in the game. If Salido loses I will be shocked.

so salido disrespected himself when he accepted the fight?

Like i said i dont know what to make of it.

[Wizardsh]

well I don't care about lomas amature background this is pros and he is going to get a rude awaking whether he wins or loses. iam not sold on his so call great defense. in his last fight he got hit by some very clean shots that salido can land. so we going to see how he takes those shots. I got salido by ko 7 or 8rd
