    What are most young pros taught ?
    If your opponent is dirty and keeps doing it YOU DO IT BACK.

    I thought about that, too. And i don't think it works.

    Lomachenko is on of the greatest technicians ever. Apart from the fact that if you are in this elite class and you haven't grown up to value greed over everything, you probably have some sense of pride that prevents you from training dirty tactics, it is also the case that it might

    - cost you time you could use for more useful techniques
    - compromise your technique, so you would have to adapt in order to be able to fight dirty
    - not work, because you are eastern european and not american/british and the referee would just stop you from using it. Even more likely if he doesn't stop your blatantly low blowing opponent somehow - it is likely that he had some reason to side with salido.
    - affect the quality of your sparring, because you start to get into 'mud-fights' instead of training for what you are good at
    - affect you mentally, because you stop focussing on technique (your strong suit and what makes you unique) and instead focus on the outcome, which might change too much of your mindset and ultimately change you as a fighter to the worse

    Salido simply said, welcome to the pro ranks mr superman.
    Lomachenko couldn’t handle it, you don’t win fights with that tip tap ****.
    Haney could have gone either way.
    I watched the Teofimo fight closely and Teo pulled it out in the last round.

    Lomachenko was a superb amateur but there have been many of those, 18-3 with 12 kos is not the stuff legends are made of

    Bizarre anyone could score a fight for someone who was outlanded by 22 or 24 punches whilst well over a third of their total punch connects were illegal blows

    Imagine watching this and condoning the flagrant corruption of Salido not being deducted a single point which FTR had the ref even just deducted one point would've resulted in the fight being scored a draw

    Pretty sure Loma hurt Salido quite badly with those ''tip taps'' but what did the corrupt as sin ref, who should've, duh, if he wasn't notorious for being as corrupt as sin, DQ'd Salido for the dozens and dozens of low blows he landed and at absolutely bare minimum deducted multiple points from it, do when Loma hurt Salido?

    Loma scored a HL reel KO on his debut with those tip taps. Even in the amateurs he wasn't a tip tap puncher

    This is how he won one of his Olympic gold medals

    And he did not lose to Haney despite giving away an absolutely obscene weight advantage, huge reach advantage, 10 year youth advantage, home advantage, and Haney having the huge advantage of the obligatory home ref and 3 home judges which FTR literally only happens in one country in the world for world title fights

    Only 17 or 18k of fans who voted in FightHub's 118k poll had Haney winning but the 3 home judges ever so predictably robbed the Soviet brother again and scored it for the gigantic weight bully home boy who still to this day hasn't beaten anyone close to his size sans arguably Norman but yet somehow he's ranked top 10 P4P

    With a bit of luck he’d have been undefeated. Salido fight was a joke & Haney was a robbery.

    His shoulder was knackered vs Teo. Had him losing that one 7-5 with Teo winning the 12th.

    You are a casual who only follows main stream US fighters so nobody cares what you think anyway.

    The irony :lol:
    Saying the fight was a robbery is not an excuse it's an opinion.

    Opinion
    • Definition: A subjective belief, feeling, or viewpoint that is not necessarily based on fact.
    • Focus: Expresses personal perspective (e.g., "I think the project was unfair").
    • Purpose: To share thoughts or influence, not necessarily to avoid action.
    Excuse
    • Definition: A reason given to explain a shortcoming, often to avoid blame.
    • Focus: Deflects responsibility (e.g., "I didn't finish it because my teammate didn't help").
    • Purpose: To mitigate negative consequences or absolve oneself of culpability.
    Key Differences
    • Accountability: An excuse avoids taking responsibility, while providing a legitimate reason (explanation) can be done while accepting responsibility.
    • Tone: Excuses are often defensive or accusatory, whereas an opinion is just a perspective.
    • Intent: An excuse aims to change a negative outcome into a non-punishable one; an opinion just describes the perspective
