Revisiting Salido VS Lomachenko...Welter low blows lightweight ALL night

[Doctor_Tenma]

You mean the guy who came in overweight? Yes put weight on him and let him punch you in the balls.


Did Loma lack experience? Yes. Did he deserve to be punched 759 times in the balls? No.

Do you argue for the purpose of just arguing? Mayweather has been the lighter fighter in his career and he's successfully done this to heavier guys. Putting your weight on top of someone's neck has little to do with weight. Wlad has been the lighter fighter as well but I'm sure it's gonna be height this time.

Loma shouldn't have taken this fight, the moment salido came in overweight he should have walked. Now he's lost his biggest marketing tool to casual fans - his 0. A real shame tbh.

Glad you brought up Floyd. 100% relevent.



Salido should've been DQ'd

Point remains, has little to do with weight.

I watched it last night again and could not believe the ref was cool with it.

I agree 100%, came to a point that Salido didn't even try to make weight and took all the penalties. I would not let him fight that night

That's usually how fighters like Lomachenko get dealt with, watch Winky against Hopkins, Kessler against Ward. It should be a priority to learn how to be a little dirty in there.

yes and no...something about the term priority with fighting dirty I just can't wrap my head around. It's a choice some fighters make and others choose not to partake in, for those that choose otherwise, they should not be cast ignorant for fighting cleanly. I prefer clean fighters. I so much prefer boxing over mma I've never watched more than 5 minutes of UFC and boxing ****ing sucks when it looks like mma. Boxing is supposed to be a gentleman's sport, it can be dirty, sometimes it's inevitable but it doesn't mean it has to be or that we should so quickly excuse it when it exceeds in such a manner whether we're talking about Salido in all his hoeness or to a lesser degree Ward clinching excessively (no offense to a Ward, you brought it up, I think he can be brilliant to watch...hopkins a bit different)...There's a reason Rigo is in my avi, he's a clean fighter, he boxes clean, I appreciate his skill and his willingness to **** you up entirely within the rules of boxing.

Comparing one event to another, averting the subject, and insisting one implements your opinion is not the point of this thread...Salido is a dirty hoe, period.

Lomachenko wasn't ready for Salido. He moved way too fast into that fight.

If he had more experience, he would have known what to do about all those low blows.

His 0 was irrelevant. He's a world champion with a title defense 4 fights into his career. That's better than the 0.
