    What are all these hating morons talking about, he lost very close fight to a cheater and his referee. On neutral ground with normal referee he beats salido and yes he made salido hold for dear life in round 12. So he proved he can take a puch ,he can fight 20lb heavier veteran in his backyard with his personal referee , he can get punched low 40 times and still come back and hurt the guy in round 12. He's no hype job like broner is.

    Agreed. Definitely not a hype job. Funny enough, he impressed me more than anything else. He's going to be a real force to be reckoned with.

    Nonsense. He took no punishment against Salido and it was a case of pacing, he wasn't gun shy. He clearly showed his power and I had him winning the fight. It was a split decision against a big guy who broke the rules, everybody is acting like Lomachenko took a beating. He is very very unlucky not to hold the belt now so the gamble came so close to paying off. And if you watched his interviews since you'll see that he's lost no confidence, he knew what he was in for and trying to do and he accepts what happened. And how refreshing is it to see someone who doesn't care about that zero, and wants to make only big fights. Early losses didn't effect Pac, JMM, Hopkins etc. in the long run, and the situation that Lomachenko had his loss in will be looked over very easily if he goes on to beat guys like Rigo and Garcia.

    He looked devastated? I'm not usually smiling and laughing when I'm devastated. Other people are saying he won't be what he's hyped up to be because he doesn't care that he lost (which also shows that he's going to have haters regardless of what he does). I don't think he doesn't care but he's not going to see himself as a failure, I guarantee you that.
