    What am I embarrassed about? Your lack of objectivity?

    I agree that there was no upside in Salido winning. So how do you explain the ref? If he wasn't in Salido's pocket somehow then he must've bet his house on him.

    I couldnt agree more people used to say for years that pac had great footwork no what he had was great footspeed. His footwork was bad coming in off balanced punching with his foot in the air couldnt cut the ring off to save his life.

    Its a tragedy that Lomachenko and Garcia didn't fight and will likely not fight. Its also almost an equal tragedy Lomachenko did not fight Berchelt.

    Look at FMJ at the later stages of his career. He was very stationary and reactive off what his opponents did, but the small, subtle movements he made were excellent. Every single slightest movement of his feet had a significant purpose. Thats footwork.

    I feel Loma`s arms are too short to fight Garcia and it doesn`t look like he can take a lightweight shot that well since he was floored by Linares, I feel light welter`s would be a little too powerful for Loma.

    You're probably right but I'm still dumb founded by that ref. I can't even imagine that level of incompetence

    Whitaker , Pep, young Camacho, Ali, and Louis had better footwork against proven oppositions.

    Camacho never used his movement to beat a very good fighter, he ran from Rosario after being hurt early and his footwork became too excesive after that point, Loma would have ;anded far more punches on Rosario than Camacho did, he was really unimpressive in that fight and every fight after that one.

    Whitaker and Napoles are two real standouts for me. Pea's was a little more elaborate, whereas Mantequilla's was so smooth and natural you could hardly notice it; his whole body just seemed to move effortlessly as one. But the way he kept carrying the fight and pressuring his opponent without giving the impression of stalking or chasing was incredible.

    But Lomachenko is in that same kind of bracket, no doubt about that.
