Day 16: On a scale of 1-10, rate Orlando Salido's win over Vasyl Lomachenko

[ippo]

A 6 or 7 is a fair rating. He missed weight,punched below the belt a lot and dirty,almost got finished at the end,fought against someone with little pro experience.

[LoadedWraps]

How do you vote?

10.

Scrappy win against a future ATG. Took advantage in ways he knew he could, but still took balls to do.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Just like Horn against Pacquiao.

[TonyGe]

He cheated his way to a win. I gave it a one because zero wasn't an option in the poll.

[BaguMka]

Absolutely disgraceful win. Cheated all the way and and ran away never gave rematch

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Elite ?!?!?! Off of which fight ?

It's like a person who spent many years playing softball then asked to play baseball. It's almost a different sport. Sure, they may eventually catch on, but all that time wasted......

Loma beat an elite fighter in Gary Russell Jr in his 3rd fight bro...

Rigo beat Donaire in what 10 fights?

I agree with your last point though, it’s very different.

[Rusty Tromboni]

Does anyone really believe Salido won that?


I'd actually put LOmachenko's performance that night over RObinson's against Artie LEvine, Jones' against Ruiz, Mayweather's against Maidana, Ali's against Norton (every time).

[KTFOKING]

Lomachenko as he showed in his very next fight against GRJ was the real deal the day he stepped foot in the pro ranks. This wasn't the typical 19 or 20 year old kid making his pro debut. Lomachenko was 25 years old with nearly 400 amateur fights and six fights at the WSB. Salido had a great game plan and got out to the big lead he needed to as Lomachenko came storming back and hurt Salido in late in the fight. Salido though came two pounds over the FW limit which knocks the win some. So I can't give it a 9 or 10 because of that reason but it gets a cool 8.

GRJ, huh....

I'll give you the Nonito fight....What else you got for me ? Elite spans a career.

7 or 8 easily. If he made weight it would be a 9 or 10. Loma was big favorite, super hyped(rightfully so), and Salido introduced him to the "pro" game. Great win.
