    Ok but then if we add his WSB record to his current record he's p4p #1 without a doubt no?

    Anyway had it 7-5 Salido. Lomachenko just didn't look in control most of the fight and wasn't landing too many clean shots. Orlando didn't either but he was landing to the body more and his rough house tactics clearly took Lomachenko out of his element. He was just looking more effective.

    No, but those opponents were definitely better than what most guys face in their first six bouts. Lomachenko and Crawford are still vying for that top spot, fairly interchangeable. Loma's resume is better, but Crawford would **** him up if they ever fought.

    Lomachenko won the fight, but even with the corrupt judges and criminal referee Lawrence Cole it was still a split decision, but if you go by the rules, Lomchanko won the fight no doubt, almost had Salido knocked out in the last round, but so many low blows, hitting behind the head, holding, elbows, hitting after the bell, out weighing Salido, the proof is the fact that Salido refused to fight Lomachenko in a rematch because he knew he would get knocked out without the help of Cole and the criminal judges.............................

    This. I easily gave Salido 7 rounds. Loma did come on strong in the last two rounds, but by then Salido had already had the fight in the bag.

    In the early rounds most of Loma's punches weren't landing while Salido was consistently landing clean punches. Loma only started landing clean in the championship rounds due to Salido gassing, which was due to his age. It's amazing the amount of excuses people are making for Loma considering Salido was 35 years old and well past his prime. Gamboa fought a 31 year old prime Salido and had no problem decisively beating him.

    He should have lost points for the low blows, fact

    He didn’t bother to make weight on purpose, gaining an advantage, fact

    Gamboa is 36 and has had over twice as many fights as Loma and has fought much better competition.

    Also, Salido was 39 with over 60 fights when he lost to Miguel Roman.

    Let's see what Loma looks like when he's 36 years old or older and has had 30 fights or more. I have a feeling he won't be on top.

    Commentators don't know ****. Did you not notice the outcry as to why no point was deducted? There was no point deducted in this fight.

    I was looking up the Salido RBR. This popped up as well.
    I found the poll result rather interesting.
    People talk a lot about robberies here, but Loma gets a ton of **** for this L.
