Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” — A Crash Course for Vasyl Lomachenko

[Corelone]

I'll tell you what people are ignoring. Lomachenko asked for it! Uncle Bob whispered in his ear and he demanded the fight. Salido didn't know who he was and now some people are crying about what happened. He was used, and abused that's what happened.

Oie! Oie! David! All that is based on the premise the judging was fair. Loma moved circles around Salido and hit him at will. The only time Salido could land a shot was when he held or Loma held.

Still haven't been able to sit down and watch this entire fight. I watched the last 4-5rds, and Lomo looked fine to me. I don't think he has a reign as P4P King in his future. But he's a quality fighter that I'd probably pick to beat Salido in a rematch, from the lil that I saw this past Sat.

Surprised you have anything positive to say about him at all?

Salido fought extremely ugly, I personally enjoyed the work of Loma alot more the punches he was landing were crisp on target and weren't intentionally low.
I've found new grown respect for this guy I thought he did enough to sc**** the win or atleast get a draw for the fact Salido didn't even make weight and was cheating the entire fight against a professional novice... I mean seriously?
Very pathetic display a so called professional... Whatever happened to sporting conduct because that scumbag had absolutely none of it that referee was most certainly paid off to allow all this rubbish he could of easily been DQed.

Don't know what that means, but OK.

Here's a video of Salido's low blows:

Some game plan. Salido's a klutz, all he does is wade in, and resorts to low blows, stepping, punching while holding, hitting during the break, elbows, head butts, etc. Pure garbage. Salido could barely lay a glove on the kid without holding him. Yes, Loma held too, but he didn't punch and hold. Salido constantly did. You around here that praised him should give your heads a shake. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would condemn any fighter that has to resort to such blatant cheating and fouling. Don't tell me that line "...this is the pros". Then what are rules for? This fight smells of job. Laurence hole is not blind, he's paid. Loma should have walked at the scales and told these crooks no thanks.

But we'll see who gets the last laugh. This kid is extremely bright and extremely skilled. That was his first 12 against a cheating slug. They won't fool his team the second time. He's going to embarrass the next "world champion" he faces with more power early on and more volume. The next stiff "world champion" will look as amateurish as Salido did (some pro, ha!). Loma was still VERY fresh at the end of the fight while Salido was ready for the garbage can (stretcher).

Sergey Kovalev, I know you read these posts, just keep crushing these guys that dare you, don't look for the judges anywhere to help you -even in Canada because they import judges for fights too. But you probably already know that.

Wow. Wasn't impressed by Loma at all after all the hype from ol' Bob. Showed no explosive speed or power. No aggression. Held way too much. Extremely boring to watch. With that style the guy won't stand a chance on US TV. Rigo is levels above and would destroy this guy...
