Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux - The SIZE/WEIGHT. The REAL Fight of The Century.

Respond to one of the above posts then.....Salido was a 3 time world champion ya nancy

 

There are countless examples in history where great fighters lost against lesser opponents. Heck, some even way worse than Salido. **** happens.

 

With 13 losses. None of them to Lomachenko.:deal

 

Lomachenko was fighting a welterweight :yep

Was Lomachenko's second pro fight against a veteran multiple time world champion :yep

Used his size advantage to bully Loma around, the referee did nothing :hey

Could have been a draw :thumbsup

You morons complain that people with zero losses do not challenge themselves, now you complain that someone does not have zero losses atsch

Respond to my previous post, or GTFO.

Many other fighters do not take on World champions in only their second pro fight...:deal

 

And how many times has Mayweather or Pacquiao been outweighed? Shoot, Cotto just made short work of Geale and Martinez. Who knows what the giant character Rigo recently fought outweighed him by and they all beat the tar out of their opponents.

And he'd had 300 fights in the amateurs. He might even have had more ring experience than Salido by that time. Lomachenko was like 27, hardly a boy, but because he took forever to go pro people like you continue to make excuses for him. May and Pac had titles by the time they were 20 and 21.

It happens. The big guys try to bully May, Pac, Cotto etc, accept they don't let them.

Yeah, but it wasn't. If you are willing to accept polite fictions like Mayweather's 0, or some of Tim Bradley's victories, then you have to accept that Lomachenko lost.

It's not the 0, it's who he lost it to. He had a very beatable opponent in front of him and he underperformed. He was incapable of doing what many had done before him.

FUGTFO, you ****in' king of the forum now?

And many don't wait a million years to turn pro either.

 

Pacquiao and Mayweather had been doing incredible deeds for years, Lomachenko as stellar as his amateur record is would need to have a few more years fighting before you can even start a case rivaling Floyd vs Manny.

 

Having 300 amateur fights, is not the same as pro boxing.
Lomachenko's SECOND pro fight was against a veteran who came in at welterweight, it was his SECOND pro fight. A more experienced Lomachenko would have no problem dealing with an overweight Salido. He was incapable of dealing with Salido's rough housing because it was his second pro fight... deal with that. Terry Russel is now a champion, did you know that? And Loma dispatched of him with little difficulty. :hi: What do you not understand of this being Lomas SECOND pro fight? It was a good learning experience for him, right now, no doubt he defeats Salido. Mayweather and Pacman's opponents have always come in at the proper weight, they re-hydrated to a higher weight, but it is different when Salido came in overweight at the scales, and add to the re-hydration it was an unfair size advantage.

 

You're completely clueless, and the reason why May holds on to that zero for dear life. For people that don't know boxing, that zero means something. For people that know boxing, who you fight means more. If May fought Salido in his second fight, there is a good chance there would be no zero either.

And, lets not forget that Salido was doing a drum solo on Lomachenko's nuts while the ref pretty much looked the other way. Add to that the fact he came in colossally overweight and you have a solid reason why Loma took 8 rounds to adjust. If the fight was 15 rounds, Loma would have knocked him out.

 

Lomachenko is well thought of because he has an impressive amateur background and he passes the eye test for a lot of people. So did Jorge Linares, Matt Korobov, and Ismail Sillakh.

 

Mayweather fought Castillo when he was the same age as Lomachenko fought Salido, had to deal with a lot of rough house tactics, but he got the decision. Do you think that Salido is equivalent in skill and record to Castillo?

 

:yep

 

atsch Mayweather had more than 3 pro fights by then.......

 

:deal

 

Those guys didn't start fighting top comp from the get go and won world title in three bouts.

Nor were any of them as impressive as amateurs.

The Salido fight doesn't really matter, if he fought Salido and then disappeared from the radar maybe I'd inclined to agree with you, but since then he's made a comeback and has gotten only better and better.

If he can keep on going and winning fights, this blip will be forgotten.
