Lomachenko Isn't Very Interested In A Salido Rematch; Says He's A Step Backward...

This.

 

It's still one of the best fights to be made so I wanna see it, even if Loma fans don't.

 

To be fair Salido is a lot better than his record suggests like a lot of Mexicans/Philos they turn pro at 16 and a lot of his losses happened then. Lomachenko also had trouble with the tactics(some illegal)of a wily veteran when his pro career was just in it's infancy. Perhaps the tactics and deliberate missing of the weight is the reason he won't give Siri the rematch.

 

I had him winning narrowly first time around.

Salido was clinging on for dear life, and barely made it to the final bell.

I have little doubt that but for the oversized opponent and the horrible reffing, Loma would have won it much more clearly.

That said, it's a loose end, and the obsessive-compulsive in me would like to see it cleared up.

 

It was a very hard to score because both fighter were quite effective with their aggression.

Yeah I love it when fighter attempt to avenge previous losses.
