That's why you build up a fighter

Dumb move by Loma's team by trying to fight a rugged vet like Salido this soon. He gave him a lesson in dirty boxing tonight the stuff they don't teach in the ams even with 400 fights. He couldn't fight on the inside held way too much and looked lost as to how to counter Salido's dirty tactis.

 

I agree he would've won this fight with a couple of fights experience. Oh well, overestimating yourself happens in boxing.

 

Lomo got a lot to learn about that good boy ****. It's okay when you got a good boy in front of you, but when you got down and dirty pro using all the tricks of the trade, it's time to act accordingly. If he had a little more seasoning, he would had been wise enough to win the fight.

 

First he needs to get a real trainer. Second he needs to get right back into the ring with some soft touches hopefully with various styles and in a year fight someone in the top 10. No need to try and fight someone in the top 10 for his next fight a second loss that soon would really hurt his confidence.

 

He did too well as the fight wore on to resort to fighting bums.

There's plenty to learn from tonight, and it's important to take on a quality opponent to implement the lessons. He doesn't need a top 10 fight immediately, but I think a solid top 20-25er is about right.

 

Top 30 guys are fine needs a few of those and hopefully he'll run into a few dirty guys who he can better prepare for their tactics.

 

Roach would turn him into an offensive machine which would be good because he's a good athlete and has good footwork. I don't think Hunter would be a great fit but he's light years better than his father.

 

That's hubris for you

 

You really think Cole wouldn't have took points away from Lomachenko for low blows?

 

Laurence Cole should have been suspended for life long ago. He is the worst referee I have ever seen. As soon as they found out that Cole was the ref, they should have protested and gotten a different referee. Lomachenko would have won without all the illegal low blows. He has a great future, but you should never fight for a title in your second pro fight.............I would say he should fight a few pro fights, get a pro trainer, but keep his father in his corner also and he will become a champion..........

 

People acting like Salido is some great force that is nigh impossible to overcome, in my opinion, overrate him.

There are at least 5 Featherweights I would pick to defeat Salido. And I'd be pretty confident in all of them: Jhonny, Mares, Donaire, Vetyetka, and Gradovich.

I respect Salido as much as the next for his big wins over Juanma (first was huge) and the tough close battle with Gamboa. But he looked bad when he beat Weng Haya (that's a total guess on the name, almost) before the Juanma rematch. And he got beyond spanked/embarrassed by Mikey. Others who cite the Guerrero fight, which usually comes up quick in pro-Salido arguments, is in reality a complete negative. No result in any fight you test positive for any PED's in is ever positive... He'd still beat everyone at FW other than those 5 I named and some moving up from 122, with perhaps one or two more, so ultimately that is big praise for the 40+W 10+L professional. Who'd have guessed he'd have been this relevant back in 2008.
