    Not sure if sarcasm or serious.

      When Lomachenko puts his arms down to protect his body it deflects Salidos arm pushing it down.
      I do enjoy our little quarrels Robbie...

      But the punches are not hitting Loma’s arms and then ricochetting down to his nuts, they’re already on that trajectory. Where the other fifty or so lowblows that Salido landed throughout the fight also Loma’s fault?

        Your feeling is strange and wrong. Salido is retired. Loma wants to unify 130 or go to 135. Arum wants to put on fights that sell well and a rematch would not sell well.

          As a free fight on ESPN, I think it could do quite well with both Loma’s and Salido’s following as well as casuals tuning in...

            Have you noticed when Saildo is brought up the Lomachenko fans don't bring up the weight now. They wouldn't shut up crying about it not long ago. Why do you think this is?

              Salido came out of retirement already

                The problem that I and other Loma fans had was that Salido didn't make weight. Loma made weight for the Rigo fight with a pound to spare. Rigo was ****** to decline the fight at 126 and was even ******er to jump two weight classes. Loma didn't want the fight once he moved up because of the size difference but Rigo kept calling him out and the public demanded it. Apples and oranges.

                But overall, I didn't care too much about the weight (can't speak for other fans). What annoyed the hell out of me was that Salido landed enough low blows to get disqualified and the ref didn't even take a point away. I've never seen such blatant fouling allowed like that. My blame isn't on Salido as much as it is on Cole. That wasn't the first fight Cole loused up.

                  It's filler, Salido 'beat' him one time and it's not unfair on Lomachenko or any fighter wanting to correct a wrong.

                    Avenging a robbery loss isn't lame. It is a necessary action. The problem now is, the detractors, who are the main reason it needs to be avenged, are crying that it is now a pointless fight. In 10+ years, beating the breaks off an old Salido will make the resume read better.

                      It would be lame now. Journeyman Roman just sent Salido into a 4 day retirement.
