    no one intentionally lets anyone off the hook, because it could come back and haunt you

    You have no idea what you are talking about. Lomo's team even discussed fighting the entire ten rounds. The plan in fact was to get rounds to gain experience.

    If you have watched the kid fight often, and I suspect that you haven't, it was blatantly obvious that he was deliberately taking his foot off the gas.

    I have watched him fight, and he actually started faster than normal in the first round. Normally Loma tends to use the first round to gain the measure of his opponent before accelerating. I think his handlers were pleased that he got a few rounds in, but it was obvious to me that he was looking to make a statement from the opening bell.

    I think people should give Ramirez a bit of credit for hanging in there and for testing Loma a bit in the rounds that followed. Loma did well to beat him in the amount of time that it took.

    Lomo is anything but a slow starter. Sure he might calibrate things as the fight goes on, but he is typically aggressive from the opening bell.

    As for the rest of your comments....... OK. I don't necessarily agree or disagree with it.

    I think you'll see a much more explosive version against Salido.
