Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Salido is a Step Back, But If The Promoters Agree...

[Combat Talk Radio]

Who in their right mind has Stevenson at the top of the P4P list?????? Didn't Stevenson avenge that loss?? Oh alright.

Nobody said top P4P. You said "world class" - I consider a WORLD champion to be WORLD class. But that's just me doe.

As far as avenging you're just making the case for why Loma should face Salido next. That's all peeps are saying.

Don't mix my words up I never said WORD CLASS dumb ass. I said I could never "CROWN" him meaning anything close to the P4P King like people seem to be doing. Who in the hell is even arguing Stevenson is in the top 20?

Lomo is a hype job until proven otherwise. Dude has 9 fights with a fuucking lost to Salido. Replace Lomo's name with Broner and tell me if you feel the same? Yeah I thought so.

Go fight, Flanagan, Linares, Easter Jr. Garcia. Salido is a waste of time.

Walters, Gary Russell Jr., Sosa, and Martinez are proven fighters and you call that a, "hype job"?

Go fight, Flanagan, Linares, Easter Jr. Garcia. Salido is a waste of time.

In other words, move up to a 3rd division despite the fact you have only had 3 fights at 130 and haven't been in the division longer than a year?

Loma must fight Salido to redeem himself

[GMAN SUPREME]

Well here's my take on this.

First this gives me Amir Khan flashbacks, but Khan was obliterated. Khan somehow actually had a point about Prescott, literally, Prescott was not a high ranked fighters and had taken some losses. But still it was a rematch he should've taken.

Lomachenko on the otherhand, lost a close debatable decision. BUT he's dead wrong about Salido being a step back, Salido is the #2 ranked fighter in Lomachenko's. So he's literally the next best fighter to fight (not the next biggest fight). But going by Ring rankings, in literal terms, Salido is far from a step backward.

I better not see you contradict yourself and call salido a bum or make excuses like he was shot or some bs like that after loma schools him. I will you call you out.

Salido's win over Loma was not controversial, he taught Loma what the pro's is about even though he was brought to be a punching bag and lie down. He beat Loma 8-4, totally dominated him with hard body shots that hurt Lomachenko laying the blue print for Garcia who will KO Loma. Loma's best win was off Martinez who Salido fought 2 back to back wars with him and was totally shot from those fights.

Why would Salido fight Loma, all Loma would do is use movement when we can watch Salido rematch Vargas for an epic battle.

lma you don't know **** about boxing

[boxingitis]

Make it happend at the Stubhub. Ill certainly be there if it is. Doubt Goldenboy will put up Corrales to fight Loma. Mikey should unify his division and Loma unify his division before the they fight each other. Too many good matches to pass them.

Loma vs Berchel WBC
Loma vs Corroles WBA
Loma vs Salido
Loma vs Davis IBF

Mikey vs Easter Jr IBF
Mikey vs Linares WBA
Mikey vs Flanagan WBO

*GAME OVER*

ORLANDO "JASON VOORHEES" SALIDO the most feared man at 130 pounds, his international savage beatings of top boxers have become instant classics.

Remember wherever you rank Lomachenko you must rank ORLANDO SALIDO higher then him , becasue SALIDO beat Lomachenko fair & square and has a way better resume then Lomachenko. SALIDO also deserves Top Pound for Pound recognition , respect and the Million dollar paydays as well. Top Rank pay SALIDO and don't take things personal , SALIDO vs. LOMA was strictly buisness for SALIDO. Stop stealing money & fights from ORLANDO SALIDO, he has been great for boxing.

ORLANDO SALIDO owns Lomachenko's belt & 2 Olympic Gold Medals. I think HBO blackballed SALIDO for beating Lomachenko like they did Rigondieux for beating Donaire.

¡ORLANDO SALIDO, El Gladiador le dio una clase de boxeo y una golpisa a Vasyl Lomachenko, paguenle sus Milliones de dolares a SALIDO, y lo vuelve a enfrentar y derrotar! ¡ORLANDO SALIDO de Sonora Mexico, es uno de los mejores peliadores del mundo libra por libra!

Loma must fight Salido to redeem himself

This is a misconception on par with the whole 'lineal championship' concept.

According to this logic, if Salido had dropped dead straight after the fight with Loma, Loma's chance to redeem himself would be gone forever.

Which means that 'redeeming himself' is something that Loma cannot do alone.

Loma can't be the best boxer on the planet if Salido does not rematch him. So then Salido decides if Loma can be the best fighter on the planet or not.

It's this thinking that prevented this fight for so long. Salido thinks he holds the keys to Loma's future legacy and wants to cash out. Luckily Loma does not think like that. Which is why the fight is (hopefully) happening - because Salido realised he doesn't hold all the cards and may be easily left behind.

Being the best boxer on the planet is about just that, being the best at this very moment. Regardless of how many losses you have, and to who. Boxers improve. When Mayweather retired Pacquiao was P4P number one and no-one asked him to avenge his early KO loss.

Having said all that, would be nice to see how Loma deals with Salido now. That would give us some measure of exactly how much he has improved since their first fight. But Loma's right - it's a step back.
