Comments Thread For: Arum Blasts Refereeing in Salido-Lomachenko

[Realizniguhnit]

I thought Salido edged it out. Loma didn't throw enough punches in the early to mid rds. That being said Salido was so unprofessional almost I wish the fight could be over ruled and changed no contest Dude steps on the scales 2 pounds over blows up to 147 with no regard at all, throws about a million low blows then throw in Cole's actions. Shame. Salido knows he would of got KTFO had he made the contracted weight but then again Loma and his team shouldn't have been so ****y. There are weight classes for a reason and Salido clearly wasn't a 26 pounder.

Lol! This is the second time Salido ruins Arum's plans(first time was against Juanma Lopez) I had Salido up & even thou the ref did NOT do a good job, it shouldn't come as a surprise cause this is NOT the first time Laurence Cole does a lousy job.

He's wrong about the score but right about the refereeing.

Cole's daddy is a big shot with TX Athletic Comm, so you can forget about him getting dropped from TX cards. He's been skroo-ing up forever it seems. Even asleep at the switch during the Abraham/Dirrell fight. If he'd have gotten his ****** butt in there in time and shielded Dirrell from getting hit when he said break, Abraham wouldn't have clocked him when he was down. I can think of at least a half dozen other times he skroo-ed up. He's just a shielded chronic fek-up.

As for Bob, hey the score was correct. Yes Cole missed many low blows, but Lomachenko simply wasn't busy enough, and Salido just out worked the guy. For being such a huge hype, I was expecting Loma to do something special. And no, he did not get robbed. He grabbed and held constantly and did little punching til late in the fight. And he has a crappy defense. He certainly isn't the new messiah Bob wanted all to believe he was. The old man needs to take his millions and just retire to some tropical island. He's way past the stage of being an effective promoter. Anyone dimwitted enough to blast HIS OWN FIGHTERS? Geez, wadda moron. HA

Screw u Bob. Your plan to sell your guy backfired and now you're pi$$ed. Next time be smarter with the matchmaking.

Yeah, I don't get what is up with Texas. One of the biggest and most populous states in the union and they can't seem to find a better referee than Laurence Cole. The dude has shown himself to be as incompetent and corrupt a referee as we've seen in this game. That guy has been on the take for years and everyone complains about him after every major fight he refs, yet, sure as ****, the next big fight that comes around in Texas and your boy is right there ****ing it up again.

Just calling it like i see it. Salido work to have the belt that he got. Bob and HBO disrespected the man lifetime of work for Loma. By giving Loma that fight, you saw what Bob think of Salido. What Salido realized that even though he had the belt. He never had the respect from Bob,HBO and WBO. I'm pretty sure Loma wasn't the #1,#2 or #3 ranked fighter by WBO. But got the fight for the title. Since the title means **** all, why make weight. Lets take this AMA KING to school. Thats exactly what happened. If i'm Gary Russell, Jr. I'm wondering wtf is going on here. Cause Bob don't got my best interest!!! Bottom line Loma lost, doesn't matter how he just did.

Hey asswipe, Russell is a GBP fighter.

[Pacnot]

Only Rob Arum cares on this fight nobody does!

[Nicolino]

Arum thought he had the new Golovkin but he got the new Cesar Rene Cuenca instead.
