What made Salido different?

[deanrw]

solido came in huge, worked the body and ****, and it was loma's first 12 round fight.

I think loma was not active enough in the early parts of the fight. I think he wasn't sure how to pace himself

Bingo! He had never before fought more than 5 rounds. He just was not sure of himself early about the pacing.

It was Lomas second fight. Most fighters wouldnt even think about fighting a guy like Salido before thier 20th fight. If Loma fought the same Salido today it would be a massacre. People dont understand boxing, specifically fckn people who post o this forum. A loss dont mean shit, every great fighter in the mfing world has lost, Floyd got his ass whooped by Castillo, we all know it. It dont matter, what matters is what you do after that.

DISAGREE

People say Salido came in overweight but I think weight was only a minor difference; the biggest factor was Salido holding and hitting low which the ref allowed Salido to get away with. IMO weight was not the major factor in that fight, the referring was.

Disagree as well:

If Floyd had a loss he wouldn't be able to market his undefeated record, nor would Deontay Wilder in regards to an Anthony Joshua mega-fight. Undefeated records matter with casuals, especially when talking heads mention them on media. Undefeated records are a marketing tool in the modern world.

Salido fought in a way that Loma wasn't used to. Loma was used to fighting clean fighters. Salido made it rough and dirty. He was constantly in his face and applied heavy pressure, something other fights can't do.

He wasn't ready for that style at that time.

Plus, Loma had a bad strategy going into that fight. He tried to pace himself to make it 12 rounds. But once he turned up the heat in the 12th round he nearly stopped Salido.

So it was a couple of things: Veteran experience and poor game planning.

Salido was tougher than most of his opponents also. I cant see Salido quiting regardless

[KillaMane26]

I hate how nobody mentions that Salido the only blood n guts fighter Loma ever faced. He not gonna lay down for nobody. That and him "using all his tools" lol. Reason why he was able to beat Loma

[Madison Boxing]

It was his 2nd pro fight

[BillyBoxing]

Loma simply has gone better....wich is obvious and expected to get better from your second pro fight.

I think he would can crush salido now...

But that is just my opinion...

[MONGOOSE66]

Even though he is a dirty cheat he was able to put the pressure on.

While fighters like Pedreza, Crolla , marriaga from the start started running around the ring.

Pedraza who went forward and stalked Tank, Crolla who pressured Linares, Marriaga who gave Valdez hell and pressured him along with Walters.

Why cant other fighters do that?

Don’t under estimate Throwing elbows, thumbing & ball blasting. It works great!

- -Salido hitting on the break too.

Laurence Cole one of a long line of dirty refs jumped on Loma everytime he got on top. Boxing was embarrassed a rank AMA in his 2nd fight could win a title, hence the dirtiest title fights I've ever seen.

You guys always cry Salido is a dirty fighter. A loss is a loss. He won because he kept constant presser on Loma. Attack Loma all the time and you can catch off balance because the way he moves his feet. Siri turned pro at 15. By the time he faced Loma, he was an 18 year professional veteran and a wold class fighter. I saw the fight. I saw the fight, was not the cleanest fight I every saw. But don't blame the 3rd man!
