There is no they. This is what Lomachenko wanted. Most likely, Lomachenko would've signed with which ever promoter could get him a title fight ASAP. Lomachenko wanted a title fight in his debut. Are people still not understanding this?:blood I guess it just blows some people's minds that not every new professional wants to smash 20 or 30 tomato cans on Fox Sports 1 undercards before stepping up.
My disgust comes purely as a fan of boxing, I'm neither a big fan of Lomachenko or Salido, but I am a fan of fair play, and I don't care how you it's sliced, there was nothing fair about how the Salido vs Lomachenko fight was ref'd. On one hand we complain about fighters being coddled and protectected, but then on the other we complain that fighters are getting shots to soon. I believe if a guy is ready, he's ready, wether he has had 40 fights or 1.
Not surprising since he hugged for 70% of the early rds. That he finished strong is irrelevant cause he lost the fight. He is 1-1. His management sux!
Clearly, you should be betting against him in his next fight for the WBO title. After all, he is just a 1-1 fighter with sucky management who can't fight without clinching, right? Please do. Just remember, the more you bet, the more you win
Funny you said that because I'm actually awaiting the announcement of his next opponent and fight to do just that. I had planned on betting with Saildo but got too busy to do it. This kid should make me even more money than Froch-Bute did. :good
Winner winner Sheen dinner! Apparently boxing fans have been so conditioned by one-sided blowouts and fighters protecting their 0 that they can't even process why a boxer would want to voluntarily challenge themselves anymore.
atsch You don't see what the problem is ? Every fighter sigh a contract with hopes of getting a title shot. But the title shot must be earned . Who did Lomacheko beat the earn a number 5 spot ? Since when does a fighter allowed to give fighter and chance at the title who have not earned it. How can the WBO grant a title shot to a fighter who has not earned that shot over some one who has? This whole affair stinks.
