    I agree, I think Loma could have stopped him in the 10th had he pressed a little more, he was being too cautious.

    Weight classes exist for a reason. If it was all about skill, guys like Floyd would be fighting super middle weights regularly.

    Salido didn't make weight. That was the primary reason he won.

    Because he wants to get PAID. Boxers don't fight just to improve their win loss record, they fight for MONEY.

    He trained properly and wanted to get paid then, not five months later.

    Salido still looks like a cheating c*cksucker.
    Needed a huge weight advantage and low blows/jumping in with his head to beat a 1 fight novice.

    You've never boxed and you know nothing about boxing. Those pounds are crucial. Coming in intentionally overweight is a real coward's move. Castillo also tried to rig the scales against Corrales with his team doing some dodgy ****.

    If Salido fought at weight against Loma, he would get KOed unless he ran the whole fight. Given the coward he is, option two is possible.

    Salido had his personal ref Cole by his side.... Loma was cheated, in a rematch with a neutral ref Salido gets knocked out.

    If it was so crucial why did he go ahead with the fight. It must not be as crucial as you say :yep

    Loma knew Salido didn't make the weight. In Loma's own words he still thought he would beat Salido. His arrogance backfired, but it's just easier to blame Salido I guess since he's apparently the first guy who's ever missed weight.

    Yea, Loma might have gone through with the fight because of arrogance, but not making weight, especially if it's on purpose, is a legitimate problem.

    Honestly, because I know how good Lomachenko is anyway, it doesn't look that impressive. Lomachenko just didn't know how to point score the pro way, Loma genuinely thought he was winning the fight by just precision punching, and that the effective aggression would not be a factor.

    This is the answer to the thread and no others are reasonable if they are not parallel to this answer.
