Loma fans keep acting like Salido came in as some hulking beast when it simply isn't true, in fact I don't even think he took this fight seriously.
Came in 2lbs heavier than Loma, yet put on 19lbs over night. 19lbs is A LOT, only a handful of fighters can pull that off and still be healthy.
Furthermore it even showed in the fight. First 2 rounds or so were toss up rounds, both guys started off slow. After that Salido completely took over, landing hard body shots while Loma landed his little pitty pat shots that had no effect.
Fast forward to round 9 or 10, Salido still dominating but clearly tiring, Loma is still doing absolutely nothing. It became very clear when he fell down and was slow to get up, he was also breathing very hard.
Finally Loma starts to come on, not because he did anything, but because Salido was exhausted. I give Loma credit for his durability to the body but that's it.
And for those complaining about the low blows (which we still don't know were low) Loma got away with a ton of pushing off and holding. Take that away from him and where is his defense?
Two different classes of fighters, and Salido looked the worst I've ever seen him.
