    I think both sides feel it makes sense. The fight just takes some massaging and time to take it from an idea to conception

    Berchelt is at least as tough a fight as Linares. Linares just doesn't impress me, neither do his string of wins over cans, and domestic level guys, since getting beatdown by DeMarco and Thompson.

    Why can't you be a fan/RESPECT both Loma & Salido?

    I certainly do

    Both vastly different but successful boxers

    Thread is full of angst, recrimination and grown men acting like they're still in the playground.

    Paddy was reluctant, but I'm willing to bear that cross. :)

    Perhaps because it is idiotic to call a man who deliberately came in over weight and won foul plagued, highly contested majority decision anyone's daddy.

    Yes, it's so much his kryptonite that he swept the championship rounds and has Salido out on his feet in the 12th.

    Lomachenko mops the floor with Berchelt, and deep down, we both know it .

    (Ps...I totally concur that calling Salido a "coward" is asinine in the extreme. So too, however, is insisting that Salido is his "papi."

    This May 12th purposed date for Loma/Linares is the same day Usyk/Gassiev is happening. What a day of boxing that would, hopefully well be.
