    A guy like him should be fighting every few months. Great looking boxer but you wonder why these guys take so long out from fighting potato peelers

    Loma does stuff with his body hands and feet that most vets couldn't do if there life depended on it. What exactly makes him overrated?

    You won't need both hands to find a professional with a better start to their career over that few fights.

    If that's overrated, than fine, he's overrated. I happen to think he's that damn good.

    He was meant to fight Vetyeka on the May-Pac undercard, then Walters in November. Vetyeka didn't want the fight, then Walters left the division. Rigo was talked about, but then Rigo didn't want it. That's left Lomachenko high and dry. He wants to be fighting the best, the politics of the game aren't allowing it and it's been a wasted year.

    The fact that people enjoy watching him fight.
    That really hurts OP's delicate feelings :rofl

    He might be overrated but I consider it a ratings investment.

    He hasn't proven it yet, but I'm buying that stock.

    I saw a very plausible case for 116-112 Salido by the way, that's why I don't have any problems with people who say Salido won.

    People here are too caught up on KOs and overlook things like what you mentioned. That's the real problem most people here don't know what true boxing skill is and if you don't KO your opponent than you can't be that good.

    If boxing wasn't as behind the times and corrupt as it is then Salido would have been disqualified. Professional boxing is the lowest ''sport'' there is.
