Lomachenko has a very clear vulnerability to pressure

    Like Mayweather did. Floyd arguably lost to B level pressure fighters in Castillo and Maidana.

    Loma lost to C+ level pressure fighter in Salido.

    Can you imagine what Duran, Pryor or Chavez would do to them? It was be a massacre. They would rip them to shreds.

    How can we call Loma a truly elite fighter when he is helpless against pressure fighters?

    Castillo was elite, a borderline HOF. Maidana is B level.
    Salido is better than Maidana, especially during his later career. He lost to Marquez, Mikey and prime Gamboa..so what? He dropped Gamboa, won the last 5 rounds against PRIME Marquez and was starting to give Mikey more problems before Mikey broke his nose.

    Lomachenko is a different man than the 2 fight rookie he was against Salido. Salido only won because he used low blows to set up other shots and set up effective aggression and Loma wasn't even throwing a punch. Now Loma throws punches and complains to the ref. Salido is getting bodybag'd in a rematch.

    Lomachenko does need to prove to critics though that he can handle elite pressure fighters. Let's see if Walters can at least bring it somewhat to answer these critics.

    Loma has a clear vulnerability to low blows, like any man.

    Walters is a pressure-counter-puncher if that makes sense.

    Floyd arguably lost to Castillo the first time. Floyd didn't arguably lose to Maidana either time. Castillo, and Maidana aren't on the same tier either. Castillo was more skilled than Maidana was.

    Salido has achieved and is a better fighter than Maidana.

    Salido has like 14 losses and 5 draws lmao. He even lost to guys like mtagwa. No way he's better than Maidana.

    "Salido has like 14 losses"
    Well, that's what happens when you turn pro at 14/15 without any amateur experience.

    Lomachenko weakness isn't pressure, but he can be smothered, those are different things.

    Actually when pressured Loma tends to drop his fundamentals and back up in straight lines.
