Well the fact that Linares knocked him down and hit frequently with power punches kind of demonstrates that he can be hit and hurt by top opponents. I'm speaking English, I don't see why my point is so difficult for you to comprehend. Linares hit him and hurt him, that's indisputable. Ergo, other top guys will be able to do the same thing as Linares.Comment

Bruh, I've seen the fight, THE WHOLE FIGHT!
Garcia ******, but brutalizes Salido
Dan Rafael ESPN
January 20, 2013
NEW YORK -- Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia didn't get the knockout he had hoped for, but he kept dropping Orlando Salido -- four times in all -- until winning on a dominant eight-round technical decision to claim a featherweight title on Saturday night at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.
The best shot Salido landed? That was the head-butt that crashed into Garcia's nose in the eighth round...
Garcia, a notoriously slow starter, had a huge first round, scoring two knockdowns. He landed a left-right combination to drop Salido, who didn't appear to be badly hurt.
Then, just before the end of the round, he landed a sharp left hook to knock Salido down again. This time Salido was buzzed, but the round ended before Garcia could throw another punch.
Salido was able to stay on his feet in the second round, but in the third round he was on the deck for knockdown No. 3 when Garcia landed a right uppercut midway through the round. Again, Salido didn't appear badly hurt, but his legs didn't look good.
Garcia scored his fourth knockdown of the fight early in the fourth round when Salido went down on the end of a left hand that didn't appear particularly hard.
"It was difficult to recover from the first knockdown," Salido said through a translator. "I was bothered by his speed and lateral movement. I adjusted to it later in the fight and started to do better, and then [the head-butt happened]."
Garcia continued to dominate Salido in the fifth round, landing several right hands, including two that nearly knocked him down again.
By the sixth round, Salido's right eye was beginning to swell, but he was hanging in there. He had some good moments in the seventh round -- which he won on two scorecards -- but whenever he would land something solid, Garcia would answer back. Garcia said he never took Salido for granted, even after opening such an enormous lead because of the knockdowns.
"I've seen Salido many times before. I've seen him get dropped and keep the same determination and will to win," Garcia said. "I know the kind of guy he is. He gets up and keeps coming back."

Now did Salido vs. Lomachenko go anything close to that? Like I said, put some respect on his name! WAR MIKEY!!!

Height difference between Loma & Garcia is ONLY 1 santimeter! Just think about it.
But the skill difference among them is a MUCH-MUCH-BIGGER.
Easy outpointing win for my hommie Loma. EASY WIN.
