Loma v.s Salido OR Mayweather v.s Castillo 1

I thought Salido won narrow and JLC wider but not by much. Salido rightly won (albeit foul filled) Floyd got lucky.

 

still lost !!!

 

Mayweather/Castillo easily, I don't count illegal low blows as landed punches. Lomachenko won that fight and Salido should have been DQ'd

 

Loma has a case for a 115-113 victory vs Salido but I also feel Salido has a case for 8-4 - so I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Loma 'lost' the fight but hey.

 

Salado was allowed to punch Loma in the balls, like the guy who is on the poster on the ceiling above your bed - Andre Ward. You may not grasp the significance of this but it tends to change the way a fight turns out - DQ vs win.

 

Salido would have gotten stopped in a 15 round fight probably in the 13th the way it looked. Interesting to see how Cole would have tried to save Salido like stepping in front of Loma for no reason when he had Salido stumbling around in the 1th.

 

Salido didnt make weight and had the ref working for him. Also Loma was coming on and dominating Salido in the late rounds. Good thing for Salido that the fight wasnt a 15 rounder or he wouldve gotten ktfo.

Floyd built an early lead and then Castillo took over and dominated him. Thats less impressive to me.

Castillo didnt have all the unfair advantages that Salido had but he's better than Salido so Floyd has that going for him.

 

The hate of Floyd in here...

50-0 deal with it.

 

If you check the compubox stats for the Salido vs Lomachenko fight Lomachenko landed 22 more punches overall, but Salido landed 32 more power punches. Furthermore, Salido outlanded Lomachenko in 6 rounds, and was even in 1. He was only outlanded in power punches in three rounds 5, 11, 12 which Loma won strong and in lopsided fashion. Most of Loma's gains were isolated to these rounds and not spread over the whole fight. According to the rules of everyday scoring Salido deserved to win.

I think perhaps a comparable fight where one fighter lead the other in jabs while the other had a lead in power punches would be De La Hoya vs Whitaker.

 

Floyd, who was already an acomplished boxer lost to Castillo a clean fight. And honestly that fight was easy to score and its in favor of castillo.

Loma was green and faced a pro using every dirty and fringe tactics in the books. It was very close but i have no problems with the decision.

 

I don`t care about compubox, cause this is not how the fight is or should be scored. All body punches, no matter how light they are, or should i said Salido low blow punches, cause there was only low blows in that fight, are counted for power shoots.
Also Loma was not in danger even once, Salido was almost stopped and referee helped him a lot.
That fight was a disgrace. Hard cheating, as well coming above the allowed weight.
And even all that you can make a case for Loma won that 115-113.
I don`t care what the result are, i don`t count this as a loss. Same goes for Kovalev vs Ward and GGG - Canelo draw s***.
