    is "Mexican Style" the only way to beat Lomachenko?

    Thoughts?

    If a old weight drained salido could beat him. Imagine Loma facing a prime "Mexican Style" fighter.

    It's debatable that Salido won the fight. If low blows had been called, I doubt he would have. And it was Loma's second fight. And Salido was a welterweight. This shows that in this day and age when you lose one time, people count you out. It's truly pathetic.

    Loma wont be losing again for a long time if ever. He's got speed, tremendous footwork and a confidence through the roof along with a dedication rarely found. He'll be dominant for a while against any Mexican style or any other. He should get that Salido rematch pretty soon and all the naysayers will have to keep saying he lost the last fight as usual. It won't keep him from beating the hell out of his division and thrilling those who appreciate talent.

      The problem with making the comparison is that Salido took a lot of liberties in that fight from the low blows to missing weight.

      BUT to your question - I'm still not sure if Loma has really learned how to deal with that type of stuff because even in the Sosa fight where he was completely dominant over the course of the fight... there were times when Sosa was able to get close to him and tried to work, and then holding ensued and Loma could be seen looking at the ref for the break. That was a the kind of sequence that was repeated over and over in the Salido fight.

      As in awe as I was about all the other stuff Loma pulled off in that fight, I didnt like him looking for the ref like that and I would still be interested in the Salido rematch if only to see how he reacts now to that type of action

        You need "hummingbird style" to beat Lom.

          'Mexican style' reminds me of these gloves.

          Boxing Sparring Gloves in Blue

          I am thinking of buying them. If Loma could train me using these gloves, I am sure I'll be able to beat Loma himself! (That would be cool)

            You are going to beat that dead horse to death again and again on a daily basis. Loma is the best 130 pound boxer in the world in my opinion. I would bet my money on him to beat any boxer fighting today at 130 or 135 pounds and that includes Salido in a rematch and any other Mexican boxer.
