Why did Gamboa did so much better than Loma vs Salido?

Originally posted by have_not View PostIt was Lomachenko's second pro fight.
He had never gone more than 4 rounds prior to that fight, he was afraid to gas out.
The fight was at 126 and salido didn't make weight, next day he weighed in at 147 while loma was 132 pounds.
Salido was desperat to not loose against a guy with his second pro fight.
Therefore extra lowblows and dirty tactics, still loma had salido holding on for his life in the 12.
Loma will crush salido in his 9 pro fight while Gamboa could not do it in his 18 pro fight.
Loma beats Gamboa also, it will be like the gary russel fight but Gambia will be stopped.

Loma is more of a pure boxer who never had that kind of will and pressure on him. Look at it as to how Shane beat the dog s hit out of Margarito after Marg sonned Cotto. Styles make fights and it's going to take a guy with an iron will (and some skill) to beat Loma again. A guy who isn't impressed or discouraged by the speed. Salido just went in there like he was the boss and Loma gave him nothing he hadn't overcome before... Without serious power it's always tough to keep guys like Salido off you because they find a way to get in that ass at all costs.
Great post!

He was the aggressor and seemingly the stronger man against Salido, whereas Salido v Loma looked almost like man v boy. Gamboa was super young when he fought at flyweight, right?

Not that it make much difference.
He had one pro fight before fighting salido and that was 4 rounds. He had 4 rounds of pro boxing before he fought salido

I understand why you praise Gamboa, but Salido is no joke. Few boxers have accomplished so much with a lack of natural talent. He excels at nothing, but his will is unbreakable. He is getting old, but he is still dangerous, and he can overcome any obstacle in a good night.
