Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Prowess Deserves More Than Middling Stand-Ins

Well, that will just be a permanent stain on his record! If he beats Mikey, no one will remember!

I don't think the Salido loss will particularly impact him going forward. Think about it, he has one loss in 8 fights but is still being mentioned for the pound for pound crown. You are absolutely right about one thing, if he beats Garcia, the Salido fight will be a distant memory. Peace.

I don't believe so.

Salido didn't bother making weight and cheated like **** all fight, then refused a rematch. It'll only be a stain to those who think an undefeated record is paramount, regardless of circumstance.

On to bigger and better fights.

Modern greats suffer from inactivity which prevents them from being seen as often as they should be to reach the level of superstardom

A fight with Mikey Garcia would prove greatness for the winner.

Hype job. beats a poor guy who is rusty and had not fought in a year. beats shot dehydrated Martinez. barely wins a SD against Gary. Salido schooled him.

and somehow this novice of just 8 fights is best p4p

Martinez had gone 1-0-1 with Salido in the year leading up to his fight with Lomachenko.

Lisa Giampa's scorecard in Loma-Russell was up there with CJ Ross scoring Mayweather-Canelo a draw...

And if by "schooled", you mean outlanding Salido and getting battered with low blows that the ref didn't call, then yes....

But regardless of resume, talentwise there aren't many even close to him.

Too small for 135. Will get hurt by Mickey Garcia

Speak all you want of Pep, he deserves all the good press many do not remember his come back @ an advanbed age, winning his ...but remember this: his Daddy was Sandy Saddler...

Like GGG 2 many are asking Lomo to keep moving up to get better opponents Lomo is a JLW as GGG is a blown up 154 IMO...

We'll find out how good he is if he fights Mikey Garcia! Until then, he needs Salido rematch!

Salido asked for a certain amount and Arum offered it and then Salido ran like a banshee.

Too small for 135.

Nonsense. Many fighters have moved up in weight successfully and won titles.
