    When he was pushed to a split decision in his seventh fight. Don't get me wrong I think Rigondeux is one of the best in the game but let's not jump on Lomachenko just because he lost a split decision to a solid 12 round pro in his second fight who came in heavy.

    I have no doubt Lomachenko will bounce back stronger and prove himself to be one of the best in the game as well.

    Well that's what my main point was. He's rushing things and biting more than he could chew. And I also said his fans should chill out and wait before calling him an ATG

    Right but why should he be critisized for that? I like seeing fighters be brave in picking opponents.

    He lost to a tough fighter in his peak that has already beaten Guerrero and Lopez and came in over weight.

    He's only 25 and I have no doubt that he has a big future ahead of him.

    I'm not criticizing him. I'm just pointing out his hubris. Good on him for trying, but I was saying it wasn't a good idea

    Shame they can't promote Rig the right way. He seems to be hard to work with but ultimately he is one of the very best boxers in the world. Not very marketable but they should still try their best to give this man a platform to compete. He's been inactive for far too long so it's good he has a fight coming up. I'm looking forward to it.

    Rigondeux vs. Lomachenko is the fight I want to see. It is the amateur fight that is too good to happen in the amateurs. It's a shame Lomachenko has lost but he behaved like a man throughout the weekend none of these silly demands like Mayweather has all the time.

    Salido's a top kid on his day and is also a very "professional" type boxer with the fouls and all, hard to beat over 12 rounds.

    Fairly sure before the Cordoba fight one of Rigo's parents died & he couldn't get beck into Cuba to attend the funeral

    Pretty sure if it had been rigo in there instead of salido, Loma would've been schooled.No doubt.

    i'm fairly sure salido only weighed 11 lbs more on fight night. i'm fairly sure loma clinched like a little ***** for 10 rounds. i'm fairly sure loma and his corner are dumber than a bag of rocks for not complaining to the ref for the low blows. i'm fairly sure you are butthurt that loma is not some prodigy that could overcome the odds and win a title in his 2nd pro fight.

    If Lomachenko is grabbing and hugging Salido, i don't see why in that clinch, Salido can't punch his hips
