am i the only one that realizes saldio has only lost 3 times in the last 13 years ? 1,mikey garcia , gamboa, juan manuel marquez ...they would all smoke lomo

That's what makes this fight so intriguing. In one way I don't think it makes sense for Lomo to fight Salido in his second fight. He could have taken two top 20 fighters then a top 10 and then faced Salido in December in his 5th fight. That would be amazing enough as it is.

But on the other hand if Lomo wins and especially if its a clear victory then the buzz around this guy (and future paydays) would be out of this world.

It all boils down to this: is lomachenko the real deal. Beating Salido would certainly prove it; dominating Salido would be "oh sh$t - did you see that?"

We'll find out soon enough.

I think it could be a bad isea to put him in with Salido so soon but then again, I think with his decided speed advantage, he will be able to tag Salido easily, especially in the beginning of the fight. It's how well Salido takes those shots and how he is able to impose his will balanced with how well Loma deals with the increasing pressure as the fight progresses that will tell the rest of the story.
