Orlando Salido Un-Retires; Lomachenko-Salido 2 On The Horizon?!?!

Great post! Essentially what I wanted to say.

 

For all the armchair accountants and business managers on here: Keep dreaming if you think Salido is getting that 1+ million payday you all were barking over. Not is NOT how Arum works just ask Walters and Rigo who both had higher initial offers during the go around contracts. Turning down the offer only made their eventual check much lower.

Salido was offered 750K last time and will be lucky to get what Rigo got(400K) the other day. If this abortion even goes down Salido will get beaten up for short money and I will laugh. He does not deserve anything for how he acting in the first fight and during multiple subsequent negotiations. Time for pay back and Team Loma/TR are going to play hard ball with his dirty ass.

 

Agree with this as pointless as RJJ-Hopkins 2 IMO.

 

A kudos for intellectual honesty.

If Siri doesn't represent shortcomings in Loma's game, there should be opportunities for him to prove it beyond reasonable doubt down the road. Hammering the last nail into Shellido's retirement coffin won't keep the ghost from haunting him.

 

You know I don't want Salido to be a victim of the sport, and end up without his faculties. But I have a feeling if he was gonna end up that way, with the amazing wars he's been in, that the damage is done. But I think he's one of those thick cranium neanderthal type dudes, that will be ok, besides losing his durability.

Hopefully that's the case, and Loma is the only fight worth taking because of the big payday retirement money he'll make. Win, win for both guys. Chance for Loma to shut up the critics, which is 99% sure to happen. And a chance for Warlando to get paid and put his all into one more war. Give Salido at least a six month rest though..

 

of course not, i completely agree, but being of Lomas standard, thats not a fight that he should be looking at imo. yeah it would put to bed that infamous Salido loss and i wouldnt begrudge a warrior like Salido getting a good payday

 

Salido is rising 38....not a good fight ...

 

Not a bad idea either. I would say it like this: if Lomachenko's camp is unable (for different reasons) to find him a really strong opponent, he should fight Salido. The opportunity is there.

 

Man, Salido really missed out on a payday.
Maybe he can get a big win and get that rematch, but i doubt it.

 

Loma needs to beat him to silence all doubters and haters

He starches him hard when they meet again

 

Disagree KT didn't avenge the Vince Phillips defeat didn't hurt him.

 

Funny you should mention it. I was just thinking earlier, imagine if Zoo was around now, the levels of hype that would be heaped upon the guy. Not to mention the forum uproar that would surely follow his exposure at the hands of a rugged, dogged, cagey but unspectacular blokie from the block. Then the 18 months or so of excuses for Zoo when he wanted no parts of a rematch.

Cool Vince teaching Ponytail about real baxin' and knocking him silly was a hoot, a real barrel of monkeys. HBO commentary was poor for that fight, hiding up Zoo's butt.

And it did hurt him. A lot of fans still hold the lack of a rematch against him, and they should. Zoo benefited from a ho-hum 140lb era (though still not as excruciatingly bad as GGG's 160lb era). His initial title run was fat with dreck and mediocrity, then Phillips cleaned his clock and our hero chose to pad that record with an Argentine doméstico, bludgeon a blown-up Calvin Grove into retirement and then pretty much do the same to a faded Rafa Ruelas (who'd lost to a club fighter and hadn't a win worth spit in years) rather than avenge the defeat with a rematch offer that Vince would've jumped on. I'm impressed so far, this stuff's almost as good as Loma's wins over Jason Sosa and Old Man Cuba. Zoo's second title run is, admittedly, better than his first. But that's not saying a ton, obviously. Hurtado is a really nice win, and a good darn fight. Gonzalez is ho-hum. Sharmba (X2) is solid. Unbeaten Urkal is okay. Zab is, all things considered (Zab's 0, his two-weight accomplishments, the manner of the victory), the best thing Zoo ever did. Tackie is decent. Leija is irrelevant.

That's your great Zoo myth. A pretty record of rather questionable substance considering the pedestal some want to put him on - I've no issue with him being in the HOF, for whatever that's worth, but he was never an A fighter, nor is his résumé close to ATG material. Very good fighter, had some entertaining bouts, but he was outmanned twice and didn't/couldn't avenge an L. Exposed bully who never deserved to embolden his name with the shell of Rafa Ruelas, let alone that of a great man like Chavez - Oscar, that was a legitimate passing of the torch, but Zoo was never a worthy heir to that gilded estate.

Never grew the kind of deeper respect for him that a guy like Vic Darchinyan forced you to grant. Too much fuss over him. Great breath of fresh air in the fart-filled elevator of JWW when Hatton kicked him into retirement. Silly hair.

 

JA JA JA JA! WARLANDO SALIDO LAUGHS AT YOU CUCKOLDS WHO DOUBT HIS GREATNESS. AT THIS VERY MOMENT WARLANDO IS SATISFYING FOUR WOMEN AT ONCE - THE WIVES OF MIKEY GARCIA, LOMACHENKO, JUANMA AND THAT PUTO JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ, THEIR DADDY!!! JA JA JA JA!!!
