Was Salido-Lomachenko robbery?

This.

When you factor in the fact that the mild-mannered Al Bernstein described the reffing as the worst he'd ever seen, with numerous unpunished low-blows, and the fact that Salido missed weight and came in as a welterwt, and the fact that it was a split decision, and the fact that it was Loma's second ever pro fight, and finally, the fact that Salido barely hung on till the final bell, I think a huge asterisk is needed beside that result.

I can understand why Salido is reluctant to face a stronger and better Lomachenko on more even terms.

 

You can make a case for either fighter winning .

Salido should have definitely gotten a few points deducted which probably would have Loma winning a decision .

 

It was actually a very close fight, could make a case for either man winning. The issue is Salido coming in over the weight limit and the official allowing him to throw combinations to Loma's balls in every round and perhaps bailing Saildo out in the final round by giving him time while he was hurt. Despite the blemish on his record, Loma deserves a lot of credit for this fight, especially finishing so strong and rocking Saildo in the last round.

 

Not a robbery as far as the scoring. The ref was awful and turned a blind eye to a lot of illegal tactics, but that is the pro game. If Loma had 1 more minute I think he gets Salido out of there, Orlando was spent at the end.

 

loma lost the fight due to ref letting salido get away with illegal punches. the blows were excessive and loma for some reason didnt say anything to the ref or hit him back in the nuts . he just kept on fighting his fight which now im sure he knows wasnt the right thing to do , but thats what happens when you jump in there with the best fight asap so i admire lomachenko for even getting in the ring with salido and loma almost got him outta there at the end.

if they fight again salido wont get away wit that again even if the ref doesnt do anything about it . loma will have some thing for that.

 

The judges did okay in this fight. You can't deduct points for low blows if the ref didn't recognize them as low blows. And if they are not recognized as low blows, then they count as shows landed. Salido had an excellent connect percentage to Lomachenko's groin area, I think most if not all of 45 + low blows landed flush.

 

stop crying loma lost ........ most of them punches landed on the belt line and the other on hes legs plus if loma didn't complain that tell you that it didn't bother loma so why does it bother you mofos

 

he lost to a guy with 13 losses lol

 

This fight proves Lomachenko does NOT have glass balls.

 

Alt's are pussies lol.

 

Loma was coming on, but lost that fight. Probably the ref could have called a few of Salido's fouls. But it made Loma a better fighter. You won't hear him complain.

The answers in this thread are a nice example of fan bias in boxing, and how little posters here know about scoring a fight, by the way.

 

Lomo was a new born infant whose parents tried to feed it a happy meal.
Of course it choked.

 

Watch boxing and you'll see Salido/Lomachenko low blows and missing weight isn't an Earth shattering, Satan conducted, Putin approved, unprecedented occurrence. Wouldn't know it by the way some reference it to an extreme, though. I've always hated Salido for a lengthy list of reasons. But to see him beat "the Chosen One" by the means he did wasn't so sad for me, especially when a lot of those same guys questioned and belittled my previous, and still current, opinions of Salido.

 

Could have went either way....certainly was not a Robbery...
