    To paraphrase.....Loma is human, he’s not unbeatable...There are styles that will trouble Loma such as a strong willed pressure fighter with the grit and experience to take him into the deep end and when pushed back, his punch output drops and is not as effective offensively.

    With that said, I think Loma has improved since the Salido encounter and gained a ton of experience in the loss. I do agree there are certain fighters who have a style that will always be problematic for Loma...but that goes without saying.

    All fighters have styles that present issues when they are across the ring from them. Even guys like Floyd and PAC has styles that made them look human and beatable but there hasn’t been one fighter ever who was Superman and there will never be one.

    Loma has the ability, mentality and skills to adapt to hardships inside the right and adjust to counter success his opponents may have in spots. It’s the sign of a multidimensional fighter who has the will, determination and IQ to compose himself and implement a new strategy when those moments present themselves.

    In the Salido fight, Loma rallied late after Salido began to gas and Loma began to make adjustments having learned from previous rounds what to expect from his more experienced opponent. Unfortunately for Loma, there just wasn’t enough runway left to stop Salido or win a decision on the cards

    Well, I guess it's true.

    You simply can't fix stupid.

    Start with yourself.
    I'm the one operating on logic while you are dick riding a fighter that you like making excuses for why his ass lost and didn't do the rematch.

    Logic...from the guy who thinks a nip and tuck split decision constitutes a "decisive victory."

    But I'll cut you some slack, man. It's very possible you don't actually know what either "logic" or "decisive" mean.

    Salido was offered the rematch on more than one occasion. Read much??

    Run along, man. You're embarrassing yourself.

    You're a **** gobbling nerd. Geek. Go tell your sad story to someone who cares. He didn't do the rematch because he can't showboat against a guy who crowds him, fights him dirty and comes in overweight, lmao. Floyd Mayweather, Willie Pep and many others dealt with that type of fighter throughout history. Let me guess: It was only his 2nd fight! Lmao. Cry baby. Loma is a square headed bully who came down to FW and SFW after fighting in the Olympics as a LW.

    Castillo wins until I see more from Loma against a talented pressure fighter.

    Loma doesn't hit hard enough to keep the bigger, stronger Castillo at bay. Loma's high octane attack would either have to be left on the back burner as he's not going to discourage Castillo from coming forward and attacking without either being more evasive or a harder puncher.
