    Watch the fight again.
    Most of the low blows occurred once Loma had ALLOWED Saildo to get inside and start landing body punches.
    Loma was acting as if his jab were $100 bills and his last name was miser. He didn't utilize his jab and let Saildo walk right in to land body shots and along with those, low blows. After getting hit with a few blow shots and a low blow or two, Loma responded by grab and holding instead of turning him and keeping his distance.
    Loam lost the fight fair and square.
    The fact is, his arrogance made him take the fight well before he was ready. He lacks professional experience, and this will make a major difference if he were to face someone like Russell in his next fight or two.

    You're talking about the Boxing Gods.

    They'll punish Floyd on May 3rd for setting up a poll but ignoring the results. You don't mess with fate because it'll come back and bite you in the ass, like Final Destination movies.

    i don't need to watch the fight again to know what i saw.

    the fight was a split decision. had cole called any of those low blows he let salido get away with...the advantage would have swung lomachenkos way and he would have taken over. he was constantly turning him in the last few rounds and that's how he was able to hurt salido.

    as for him not being ready...i don't agree with that at all. for a guy who "lacked professional experience" he sure finished strong. again...even with all of salido's cheating and the refs non calls...it was salido who had to hold on for dear life in the closing round...and even then, cole didn't warn salido for holding or anything. i think it's you that needs to rewatch the fight and put your mexican pride to the side.

    no, just most of u in here celebrating salido's victory.

    everyone else, at the very least, acknowledges that cole helped salido tremendously.

    i'm part mexican...but i don't let that cloud my vision when it comes to boxing.

    No one is celebrating Salido's victory as much as trolling all you blind hypocrites who flagrantly turned a blind eye to Loma's excessive holding.:deal

    As I stated right after the fight, it was dirty(on both ends) and Cole did a shitty job!

    ..and that part about you not having cloudy vision was extremely ironic:lol:

    It's not your eyesight I have find questionable. It's the fact that you choose to blame Loma's excessive holding on the low blows when the fact is, Loma was holding in Rd1, before any low blows had been thrown.

    To be honest, I had no vested interest in either fighter. Loma has been hyped so much due to his amateur record that I was curious as to how he would do in his 2nd Pro fight, but as I stated in previous posts prior to the fight Saildo's expereince gave him the advantage and he would win my SD.
    That was my OBJECTIVE opinion based on what I knew of both fighters.

    Your inference to my heritage is incorrect and insignificant.

    What I saw in this fight from Loma is, he wouldn't stand a chance against Gary Russell. Russell wouldn't allow Loma to grab and hold, and he is too fast for Loma to outbox on the outside. If slow Saildo can easily pound away at Loma's body, Russell won't have any problem connecting with even more accurate and haar body shots, uppercuts and head combinations.

    Hopefully, someone in Loma's camp will convince him to take 6-8 journeyman bouts before he decises to step up again. I'd really like to see him develop and not take moving to Pro as casually as he did prior to this last fight.

    If Loma didn't want to get low blow'd , he shouldn't of tango danced and draped himself all over the Mexican

    I see a lot of us a drawing comparisons to holding as opposed to low blows, while they both may be fouls, low blows has the potential to cause serious bodily harm. Lomachenko's holding was more or less a lack of experience on his part, didn't appear to be intentional, but more because he didn't know how to handle Salido's hard charging style. Ask Riddick Bowe about the dangers of low blows.

    The fact that a guy with 1 pro about can get a title shot to begin with should be the problem not the holding

    @Hambuger

    That is part of the basis of why I asked the question. Many people are in line with what you are saying, and in hindsight, it may have been better to not have given him the shot in the first place. However, the 12th round told us a very different story.

    May it of had anything to do with Lomachenko being a Russian, Ukranian? It was clear to me from the first few rounds of low blows that weren't called that Loma had the deck stacked against him. Salido probably landed more punches below Loma's belt line than Mares landed on Agbeko, in their first fight.
