Assorted Orlando Salido Rivera Fights. GHC's Standalone RBR...

Maybe but no one is going to believe you if I deny it

 

No I'm not. Again, Loma is categorically not a holder and he was holding in response to being fouled with impunity all night.

 

No bubble to bust. The vast majority of the holding was in response to Saldildo's incessant fouling and holding is hardly comparable to pounding the crap out of someone's nuts, thighs, hips and even knees all night.

 

Saldildo didn't just foul. I can turn a blind eye to a bit of dirty stuff as there are plenty of fighters who get dirty from time to time, including some of my favs. But we're talking about a simply scandalous amount of low blows (at least a third of his 142 total punch connects), not love taps either and many of them flagrant as hell, being scored as legal scoring shots and if you don't count them as legal then Loma clearly wins the fight, and that's not even factoring the points Saldildo should've had deducted from his tally for them too. If the ref was even remotely fair Loma 100% wins that fight.

There's no point discussing this because there's literally nothing anyone can say to make me altar my opinion on it.

 

He barely complained after the fight or since either even though he was well within his rights to do so long and hard. That's the measure of the man. Personally I would've liked to see him slice Saldildo's face open Dre Billy goat style and play the piano on his bollocks.

If you want to count these as scoring blows, which again are over a third (a conservative estimate) Saldildo's 142 total punch connects, that's on you. Loma outlanded him by 22 blows even if you do but if you subtract 50 or whatever the exact number is from Saldildo's tally Loma is a clear winner.

And Loma didn't low ball him Arum offered him a career high payday and Saldildo ran away in the opposite direction. Loma wasn't even earning huge purses back then either.
