Yea, american citizens arent american

I dont even understand what "geographically in US territory" means. I guess Hawaiians arent americans cuz they're not in US territory, geographically speaking of course

[USAFBoxer]

Im puerto rican, but also american, I guess pigsfly means that verdejo isnt american since he represented puerto rico in the olympics and not the US

[Khmelnytsky]

let me address this american euro thing...........first of all felix is puerto rican (not american) theres no great russian fighters (i can't name one ATG) the rep historically in russia is poor. I like the sugar ray leonards, the durans, the rocky grazianos (i will admit) but at the same time if i see A fighter with beautiful combos, footwork and style my hats off & I'm a fan. regardless. so theres no reason for me to hate on russia who's historically very poor in boxers. lomochenko looked terrific last night (& I said that through out the entire forums) for you to make it seem like I'm hating on Ukrainians and russians is flat out ridiculous and ******.............

Tszyu, Klitschko, Arbachakov are ATG's in their division and the Soviet Union had a very rich history in boxing. Jirov is top 10 CW all time come to think of it and very few amateurs actually turned pro until quite recently.

What we have seen in the pros so far is a tiny percentage of the talent Gaydarbekov, Saitov, Artayev, Sapiyev, Lebziak, Romanchuk, Timurziev are examples of boxers in recent years who never went pro.

Lomachenko beat Salido whilst he was a welterweight and was landing about 10 low blows every round.

Lomachenko lost a rough fight get over it sheesh if he didn't think he could handle a bloated over the hill Salido he wouldn't have fought him

The point is other elite fighters have handled Salido with such ease when he was way better than the Salido that Lomachenko faced, so the hype didn't even come close to the reality that time. Going by the hype he should have farted and Salido should have been knocked out by the boxing skill of Lomachenko's fart, maybe with a dozen or so more fights it will come close to the bs hype the hopefuls where peddling, but right now... fk no!.

Nobody has handled him in their 2nd fight. Hell Rigo in his 7th had all kinds of issues with a lesser guy coming off a Ko loss to EBU level fighter

And why does that matter? Rigondeaux is someone else who we are not talking about here although he still won, and kept facing tough opposition til he earned his shot the hard way and with 12 fights went on to become p4p even with all the negativity against him. If you think about it Lomachenko's hype worked against him more,and thats why he lost he got thrown too deep too soon.

And you are forgetting Mikey handled Salido and so did Gamboa almost murdered him trying to do a fatality on the guy after he was already down on the 12th Salido can and has definitely been handled, by the caliber of boxer Lomachenko was hyped to be, he should have handled Salido's rough **** with ease supposedly, he just couldn't because was not ready because the hype exceeded the substance at that moment plain and simple.

I fully expect him to handle Salido types with ease once he finds his rythm as a professional. You people talk about Salido like he is some type of goliath boogeyman when he is far from it matter of fact the dude has declined a lot I doubt he is even at the B level gatekeeper level he used to be anymore.

[garfios]

How could it have been when he was facing amateurs in WSB?

he wasn't facing amateurs, he was facing fighters that were paid just like him, as a matter of fact he probably was facing better opponents than all the bums Russel faced in his entire career, y the way you get pay money in boxing you are a professional, that's why the commentators mentioned the asterisk...

Bro Salido was 150 pounds with the speed of Ali and the strength of Tyson. Loma won but was robbed by racist judges
