How big of a step is Salido?

[jov6388]

True. I think he even got dropped by a jab against Mikey...

one was a slip if i remember correctly .. salido was still pushing the pace that mf is no joke! he might not be a fresh young salido but this man is a g ... he destroy orlando cruz with body shot after body shot .. salido has certain pop to every throw.. loma is going to drown late or pull of a entertaining tough win .. wtching him in wsb and against ramirez im not sold on him .. he got the goods and a big 126 pounder but idk likes to let people tee off while he re sets and shoe shines alot .... last 6 years only elite fighters have beat salido gamboa at the time and mickey garcia i dont think loma .. also been knockout 5 times all under the age of 19 and under also was knocked out pro debut at 15 years old!!! this is man is a fighter ... does good against leftys as well robert guerreo (steriods) lopez, orland cruz , and loma came in last fight 129 .. salido on fight night came in at 140! lomachenko is going to really fight his as off

Salido is a solid veteran and champion, especially for a guy in his 2nd pro fight (or 7th). That said, he's clearly declining and although he beat Juanma twice, he's never been elite or close to it. He went life and death with Weng Haya FFS. Lomachenko has more than enough to beat and stop him IMO.

Its a massive step up, I would be stunned if Loma makes it out of the fight without being stopped. I don't give him a good shot at winning because its based on nothing, he has 1 pro fight against an ok opponent which is a good fight for one's debut but Salido is a seasoned vet.

For your second fight? A pretty big fawking step.

[Russian Crushin]

He's only Mikeys and Gamboa's best wins and the #2 FW title holder

He would be a step up for just about anyone at FW let alone a fighter in his 2nd fight

hey its better than what gary russell has done his whole career .. tba champ lol ... i actually saw the haya fight few days ago .. its not like he got out class or anything.. he dominated first and almost had haya out in the second shots after shot ..then 3rd literally chasing him corner to corner had haya wobbled and had him hunched over from body shots was finishing him swinging from the fence and got careless really careless caught throwing long left hook didnt recover till the fifth then game over stopped him in 8th .. i wont put to much on that fight man that crowd went silent when salido drop **** was crazy

It's a great big huge giant step and I think he will trip and fall on his face with some help from Salido's punches.

The Haya fight just shows Salido is very easy to hit flush and hard repeatedly against even limited opposition. I respect Salido and he's a solid guy, but I think Lomachenko already has elite level skills. We'll know in 2 days.

in your second pro fight to fight a tough guy who is a champion, although slightly crude but still, with over 40 fights thats crazy!!!!! Even Ramirez was a huge accomplishment, yes he was a can but he was 25-2 when lomachenko fought him Most guys first 5 fights are against guys who are 2-0 3-2, 0-2, 4-2 etc.

For a 2nd pro fight it is a huge step up.

But Bob Arum isn't ******. Top Rank knows what they are doing. Salido is well past it and will give Lomachenko plenty of opportunities to look like a world beater.
