Lomachenko is a legend. He doesn't *****foot around, he picks the hardest fights. His heart is pure warrior, make no mistake about that. His chin is very solid but then again, it was never tested by someone that hits as hard as Salido. His punching power is still ad******g from the switch in gloves and frankly, you will be surprised by how hard he hits once he decides to get the guy out of there. Keep in mind, Ramirez was never ko'd before
Lomachenko is awesome, he is too fast and skilled for Salido, but Salido is very dangerous for anyone...........
Salido is still a ****ing beast. This is an imbecilic move from Loma if he actually gets the fight. But I'll watch and I'm interested.
has this fight been anounced yet? boy doesnt waste time does he, hopefully he hasent taken on someone who will ruin his career early
This^ is what it's about. Loma wanted to fight for a title in his first fight, but the quickest that could be managed was this. He only signed with TR under those terms. Arum woulda preferred to pace him slower.
I think he'll be OK even if he loses. Everyone will kinda go - 'well that's what happens when you move too fast' and hopefully he can get on with his career.
Most of you are speaking as this would be the very end of his career if he loses. This is his second pro fight and a guy like Loma can easily recover and move on. However, if he wins then he will be making history - given his abilities I think it is worth although its risky.
One of the first times I've agreed with you. Salido is the wrong type of fighter to get in the ring with this early. He will test Loma in ways he's never been tested before. I think Loma will eventually fold to the pressure Salido puts on him in the mid to late rounds. You saw this in his fight with Garcia who was really looking for a way out of their fight when Salido started to come on late. I think Salido will be too much for Loma especially the way he likes to put his ear muffs up and neglects to protect his body. No doubt Salido will savage Lomo's body. Salido IMO is all wrong for Loma at this point.
if lomachenko really wants this, he's got balls. i like fighters that take risks and ain't scared about losing their O's.
wtf...are you crazy?? murad wasn't looking out for pac's best interest, murad was looking to cash him out on every fight. 2 week notice against the champ ledwaba. jump up to 126 and fight p4p #3 in barrera. right after mab, war with jmm 1. while still being unranked, he went up in weight again to fight p4p #6 morales at 130. (murad also got extra cash for agreeing without manny's knowledge that he use pillow gloves.)
