This is a very simple pick. Salido has added more wear and tear and age and Lom has obviously improved and adapted to the pro's since his second pro fight. And I doubt the ref would let Salido punch low with abundance in the rematch. Based on those shifting tides, Lom clearly wins the rematch.Comment

I agree with everyone that thinks Loma will take advantage of Salido's aging and win in dominant fashion.
Hopefully, this will set up a Walters fight next.Comment

With all the extra stuff that happen in the first fight, Loma has kinda gotten a pass on the L he took. I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other on whether he deserves the pass. Either way, I think winning a rematch is important for him personally. Any real competitor wants to avenge a loss, whether they deserved the loss or not. I read where Joe Louis said he didn't consider himself the real champ until he avenged the loss to Schmeling. The Loma-Salido deal has some similarities.
On another note, I'm torn on whether I want Loma to stick around in the exciting jr lightweight division. Or, keep moving up the scales, like he's talked about, and move closer to a superfight with Crawford.Comment

GREAT FIGHT. Salido deserves this big fight after his performance of the year! Loma has to redeem himself with a victory this time.
CAN'T WAIT.
TOP RANK IS PUTTING TOGETHER GOOD FIGHTS (CRAWFORD/POSTAL,SALIDO/VARGAS)
DONT KNOW WHY BOB ARUM GETS A BAD RAP.Comment
