Would you give Walters the same credit for beating the same guy??

Walter's solid opponent beats Loma's solid opponent all day long.

Walters destroys a soft out of shape 150lb Salido with ease...

You guys are straight tripping.

Too many amateur fights can ruin a guy.

Remember Joe Green from a fews years back?
He left too much in the amateurs.His legs were gone at 25

I see signs of GGG slipping already..too many amateur fights.

Loma(and Golovkin) is lucky because he will get credit no matter what he does,or doesn't do,so he'll never have to step up.

The other guy will always get the blame when the tough fights don't get made.

Peter Quillen would have been crucified for fighting Marco Antonio Rubio..and rightfully so..but GGG is given credit for that mess.

Name one fighter with 1 professional fight who could of gone in the ring that day with 2 division overweight Salido, taken headbutts and lowblows literally all night..... and still drop, hurt and almost KO Salido in the 12h round...


I'll wait.....

Well said, people hating on him for whatever reason can go and suck a c'ock.

Loma is class, everyone ****ing on about how he should have done this, and he should have done that....

He schooled Russel Jr (the one these same wankstains said would obliterate him) and he dropped a cheating scumbag in Salido and almost KO'd him.

Can you guys tell me in wich round did he scored a knockdown against Salido?
I remember Salido being hurt in the 12, but never dropped.

A lot of people overreacts. Best performance for Lomachenko? You got to be kidding. You can always look flashy and great agains bums, being able to do that against the top guys is the real deal.

Loma's best performance was against G. Russel Jr., althogh the latter is know for looking great against tomato cans and TBA opponents.

"Salido was 200lbs they day of the fight" "two weight division's up Salido" "Low-blow salido".
As far as i can recall there was no rule on how much Salido could weight after being rehydratated. Salido wasn't 2 weight divisions up, he had a 2 1/4 lbs advantage the day of the weight-in. If Loma doesn't go up to middleweight (i'm exagerating, of course) the day of the fight is not Salido's problem.
Salido had told many times before he was having trouble making the 126 limit, (There are some interviews were he talks about it on youtube, and that's a few fights before Loma, so not an excuse he made afterwards) but he stayed because of the title shot oportunity. Arum offered him the Loma challenge knowingly of the fact because they wanted to face and old, fading, weaked and weight drained Salido. But it fired back.
Was he dirty in the fight? Yes. He used every trick posible, but this is the referee's fault. Just like when they lets B-Hop to smash his opponents with headbuts. Is it fair? legal? No, but the referee is not making an objection about it. Why would he stop?
*****g that aside, the fight was somewhat close but i think Salido won and Loma didn't look flashy at all. Maybe in the 12, which is the only round he won clearly.

Not hating on Loma, he has all the skills in the world, great style, perfect conditioning, and more importantly balls of steel. The guy is not joking around, he wants to fight the best and nothing more. Not many people would dare to take such challenges so early on in his carrer as Loma. He still has some flaws in his style carrying some of the amateur in to the pros that an experienced, top pro fighter could take advantage of. So they better go after him now before he becomes more of a beast.

I enjoyed watching him fight last night, I like the way he attacks the body. That hard left hook to the body does some damage, I just like the way he doesn't head hunt to much. He knows exactly when to go to the body the same way GGG does in his fights.

[Wizardsh]

I enjoy watching skills but get real loma runs a lot for no dam reason he needs to learn effective foot skills with punching. People acuse rigo of running but he does no where near the amount of running that loma does at this point. Notice how rigo got out of the amture style real quickly while loma still in that mode. This is pros not amature. If loma has hand problems he is not going to last long ethier

[Humean]

Lomachenko is poetry in motion. His skill level is off the charts. If you weren't impressed by him then you are either a) clueless b) prejudiced c) Nicholas Walters.

[Wizardsh]

Can someone post an official source that states loma hurt his hand

[LoadedWraps]

Kid has the rare combination where incredible athletic talent and true warrior mentality sync up.

Well said. I agree with this.

Talking about opponents beating opponents is an example of bad science. And you said earlier would people be impressed if Walters had beaten the opponent last night. You failed to mention if he had done it impressively with one hand, then yes he would have been given credit. Using opponent scenarios shows me you are new to the sport. History is littered with examples where the opponent theory fails miserably. It comes down to skills and the way I see it Loma boxes circles around Walters and Donaire and others and turns Gradovich or Velez into his student.
