Comments Thread For: Arum Blasts Refereeing in Salido-Lomachenko

[umop-ap!sdn]

Bob would have had a heart attack and died last night if Chavez Jr. lost too.

Trying to flatter us are you. A boy can dream and a man can wish, but Bob will still be a hemroid in each of our anus's

All these fights in Texas with all their shody refs and commissions, and you're surprised when it comes back to bite you in the ass, Bob?

Props to Lampley for calling out Cole but the only way to get rid of Cole would be if HBO/Showtime/FNF's refuse to televise a fight with Cole as ref. Hit them where it hurts...in their pocketbook.

Martinez,as Sutherland in the main.bout, are not your best of judges...

hahhahaha!!!

Bob, I'd like you to meet Karma she's a B itch. Now he knows what it feels like when he fixes fights. Good for your greedy self and your crook ways..can't wait til this old b astard dies with his stereo-typical Je ways.

It was bad. I thought Jr's ref was just as shady for Jr.

The difference is in Jr's case he didn't need the help (this time).

I think it's clear Loma deserves a shot at the vacant belt again. Vera got another shot at Chavez and he was the one who lost first time. So why not Lomachenko.

Arum was probably behind Lomachenkos loss lol

Really?
I hate Arum as much as the next guy, but it makes no sense to have his young propect lose to a guy in the twilight of his career.

glad that someone who actually matters has spoken out against laurence cole. hopefully he'll never work on a top rank card again.

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.

While I agree with you that it was very unprofessional of Salido to come in two pounds over the limit, Lomachenko did have a choice in fighting him at that point, and they chose to do it. Why? because they felt Salido was just a stepping stone, and had no respect for him.

And as far as you saying he blew up to 147, I find it funny that fight weight only gets noticed with certain fighters but gets forgotten with others.

Donaire fighting Rigo at 122 came in on fight night at 140+
Cotto fighting Bailey at 140 came in on fight night at 155
Paul Williams fighting Margarito at 147 on fight night was 162
Mosley fighting at 147 would often come in at 160 for his fights.
Jlove fighting Rosado at 160 came in at 185.

The list goes on and on. Fighters always put on a lot of weight on fight night. But it's funny how their weight on fight night only becomes an issue when people don't like the fighter, or when they have to make an excuse for why a fighter loss.
