    Can you feel it coming? I'm tired of going through this with fighters who end up not making good on all of the lofty expectations--Berto, Gamboa, Broner, the list goes on and on.

    Maybe he beats Salido, but so what if he does. It's not like Saldio is some world beater. People just need to calm the fark down.

    Salido is a tough out. I know his record looks bad, but this guy comes to fight. Some are upset at the short cut Loma took, but then others get hated for staying a prospect too long.

    He looks like he could be legit, but you're right so did Berto. At least we'll find out sooner with Loma

    first it was Kessler then Butte, then Pirog, now Golovkin who deserves the praise but its way out of proportion considering the quality his opposition.


    I'm impressed by Lomachenko but again why the out of proportion hype?

    Gamboa hasn't lived up to the hype because he doesn't seem to have a great work ethic, not a problem for Lomochenko the man is a fanatical trainer.

    Broner was beening hyped out of all proportion because he has a big mouth does stupid **** and everyone believed because of this that he was the new Floyd Mayweather, Lomochenko isn't known and being hyped because he has a big mouth or is flash its because of his acheivments in the amatuers and so far in his pro career, and because he has the balls to go for a world title in his 2nd fight

    And Berto has had an ok career so far but he was over hyped escpecially when you consider that his record wasn't spectacular even before he started losing. The main reason for the hype I feel is because at the time he was considered one of the main threats to pacman and Floyd before it went downhill for him.

    I think Lomochenko does deserve the attention and hype his gotten so far because his willing to go for a world title in his second fight which will be a world record

    I wish people would stop frontin like this is Lomachenko's second fight as a Pro. After watching these i get the feeling Salido will take him in deep water and drown him between rounds 8-11.....I noticed Lomachenko squares up alot to leaving himself open to counters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2ZJX46AHWQ

    Doesn't matter how good Salido is or isn't. You don't see any of the other Amateurs doing this. Look who Rigo was fighting in his 2nd fight :lol::rofl

    Look who Gary Russell Jr has been fighting. Look who Andre Ward fought in his 2nd fight. This is unprecedented. Look at who Roy Jones Jr fought in his 2nd fight. It was a joke in a High School Gymnasium.

    Why did all these great Amateur fighters try and do what Loma is doing? Why? Tell me.

    I'd love to see Salido win but the guy is slow and throws wild punches that will likely be countered by Loman. Mikey Garcia absolutely dominated him.

    Lomachenko is much more skilled than Salido, but I wonder about his stamina? His trainers should know though. Any fight is dangerous and Salido is a tough fighter who keeps the pressure on...............Lomachenko wanted this fight. Compare Lomachenko's 1st and second fight with Wilder's 30 fights, there is no comparison...........

    Lomachenko is known from the amateurs, so they have to hype him up some,
    Salido has been seen on TV, is known. If Lomachenko wins this fight he wants to fight Rigo ASAP.............
