    Maybe Sanchez versus Salido or Lopez would be more interesting ??

    Why would that bum Salido versus a top 10 all time featherweight be interesting?

    Not to mention Saldio having a style which was handmade for Sanchez.

    Well that "Bum" gave that other premature "Legend" his 1st Loss, so what does that mean for Loma? Why would we be matching Loma against Sanchez?
    I've said it from day 1 Loma's fight game was severely overated. Some had him beating every ATG from Featherweight to Jr.welter.
    Including Duran, Chavez, Whitaker, Pryor, J.Brown etc.
    What we saw last night was a fighter in Lopez that could match him with foot speed, he consistently was able to have his lead foot on the outside of Loma's Lead foot, that kept him from pivoting out , forced him for the most part to go in a direction he was uncomfortable with.
    Also, we may have seen Loma's lack of activity, and his age factor in.
    At 32yrs old he's ancient for the lighter weights, his lack of activity certainly wouldn't help with that.
    That's probably the reason he couldn't get going until around rd 7. Or, a bad fight plan from him and his corner.
    Loma is more smoke and mirrors than a true Atg. The multiple weight classes he's won championships look impressive if looked at on the surface. Not impressive at all when looking under the surface.
    His "Incredible " record of 14- 2 isn't the stuff legends are made of. Sorry fan boys....
    And before some of you jump on Lopez 's bandwagon , I saw plenty of holes in his game a real ATG would've feasted on. He may grow into something, but let that happen naturally, beating a overrated mass media creation certainly doesn't make him great.

    Haha, yes lads thought it was fairly obvious I wasn't being serious but guess not, of course Salido who has 14 losses on his record has no chance against Salvador Sanchez but neither has Lomachenko really who Salido beat.

    That happens quite a lot on these posts, most times falls flat, and poster has to repost and explain, has that ship sailed from now on, or are boxing pundits a wee bit anal....

    To answer the question, Loma gives Sanchez problems early. Sal wasn't as big, fast, powerful as Fimo, and Loma was sharper at 126.

    However, Sanchez figures him out by the 6th or so, and once he does, Loma isn't versatile enough to reverse course.

    It'd be a beating by the late rounds.

    Agreed,,can't really see Loma coming out on top in a 15 round tussle with Sanchez

    Over 15, Late KO for Sanchez.
    Over 12, UD for Sanchez with the possibility of a KO.

    Sanchez too brilliant for Lomachenko.

    Salvador Sanchez would counter punch Lomachenko all night long, too much movement, counters, and Sanchez could take a punch, like he did against Danny Little Red Lopez, Wilfredo Bazooka Gomez, anf Azumah Nelson. Lopez took care of Loma quite easily the other night. Even Eusebio Pedroza would have an easy time with Lomachenko, who was exposed. Sanchez and Pedroza by unanimous decision.
