Salido cheated

Exactly.

I'm as big a Lomachenko fan as you'll find on here, but the complaining about cheating needs to end now. Vasyl didn't make excuses about it, and neither should we.

Part of being a championship boxer is ad******g to your environment and every possible scenario. A home fighter using every veteran trick possible and a complacent ref is extremely common and has to be compensated for. It took Lomachenko too long to learn that lesson tonight, but the point's been made- I doubt we'll see him take that long to solve that riddle in future fights.

 

I know! He didn't even miss weight like Salido...

 

Wasn't as bad as Mares vs. Agbeko I was with low blowing. Not even as bad as Mares vs. Agbeko II even, with low blowing. This fight wasn't even as one sided dirty or poorly officiated as Mares vs. Moreno was, and that fight had the horrible judging to boot.

This fight isn't controversial enough for me to hold an asterisk next to it. Yeah, it was dirty. Bad ref. Fight played out and Salido won a razor close one.

 

Salido cheated and won.

 

Salido is just an awful fighter to watch steaming in straight with his head down and swinging hooks to the body is about all he is about. He is the essence of a spoiler. Why Lomachenko's team chose him, god only knows. That said I thought Loma would be able to get Salido out of there, and if the ref didn't allow Salido to hold on "for dear life" in the 12th as is being said here, he might just have done it.

Scoring the fight is going to be difficult cause you have Salido who is moving forward constantly but only landing to the body and nearly never landing to the head, and you've got Loma who is landing to the head cleanly a few times in a round, but looks like he's losing because his moving backwards, and tying up when it gets inside.

Overall it was a pretty shitty fight.

Ref was clearly biased for Salido and against Lomachenko that much is certain.

 

Ref didnt do anything so its not his fault.

 

Agreed

 

And all of this while hurt by the low blows.

And low blows and Salido bull charging with head low are the only reasons Lomachenko was holding.

While the referee was playing the blind game.

Lomachenko has to deal with the first rule of boxing:

Try to have every single advantage you can.

Wich means don't fight in opponents hometowns.

Don't fight without having corrupted judges and referees.

If an opponent is better than you, punch his balls out, heabutt him, clinch him to death, push him away, wave gloves elbows and forearms on his face.

Drug his food, his water.

Load your gloves, use steroids, HGH, metamphetamines, insulin.

Use diuhrethics and dehydrate yourself to have size advantage.

Intimidate him, sucker punch him, fool him on the internet, at the weigh ins, everywhere.

Whisper in his ears that your gonna kill his family, ali g style.

Menace him with the help of the mob, the black panters, the muslim brothers, the government, whoever.

Hit him while holding, and after the bell.

Take more time to get up after the breaks.

Act like they shot you with a mortar if he ever dares hitting you on the bell line.

But may the rabbit punches be the best blows you lands.

THIS IS BOXE.

It has been like that for decades and centuries, since the greeks and the romans.

Just deal with it, or GTFO.

NEXT.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I was wrong thinking that Loma will pull this off.
Just saw the match and I am still deeply impressed by Loma. And as Hatman mentioned, Salido was throwing combos under the belt of Loma! Still think he deserved the SD. In Pro boxing being dirty is part of the game and you need to be ready for that. Great future for Loma ahead nevertheless!

 

Indeed.

 

He beat him deal with it ,1-1 it's not the end of the world.

 

Regardless of whether Salido deserved the win, Lomachenko showed that he is not elite.

 

F*ck off with that, your hate for Lomachenko was apparent from the very start. How many professional fighters you know or heard of that go for a championship fight in their second professional fights against a cheating scumbag in his hometown(an extremely controversial place) that comes in a weight division above and still fight all 12 rounds in a close tough dirty fight?. You have to be a first class imbecile to not rate him elite after what you saw.

 

Its because he held the WBO belt and Loma wanted to win it. Not sure why you thought only God knew that.

Loma held on for dear life for 11 rounds straightatsch
