Let's wait for Walters-Marriaga to fight first, then we'll get a better gauge of just how good Marriaga is.
Lomachencko is skilled, but is a running, feather fisted, pot shotting, hugger. He was throwing low blows in his last fight to the point of shame. I remember his first U.S. fight. In the first round he was running around like a chicken throwing weak punches. ****ing Ukraine track star Marriaga or Walters would flatline that kid. :ko
When Salido was kicking his ass around the ring he was crying to his daddy. Damn baby chinned fraud. Arum would never let his past fighters get a title shot 1 fight into the professionals, so what makes him special?
I don't consider it a big upset if Marriaga wins. He beat Walters twice in the amateurs and has some good amateur pedigree. Let's not forget his power as well. Tomorrow could be a very bad night for Walters.
Walters will have to do some deep digging Ana avenge his amateur losses to this man. So he can go to the desert and destroy vasyline "feather-tech" lomachenko.
Kicking his ass all around the ring?? Did you even watch the fight? You can literally count the number of clean punches Salido landed that night on one hand. How many times was Loma stunned or hurt during this "ass kicking?" That would be zero. Loma landed more clean shots in rounds 11 and 12 than Salido landed all night. The kid lost the fight because he was much too inactive--in an obvious attempt to conserve energy for all 12 rounds-- in the early rounds of the fight.
He lost the fight because he has never fought a real veteran fighter before and got scared and schooled. His papy over in the corner was about to throw the towel in because his son couldn't handle Salido's strength and power. Arum is a piece of filthy trash for playing the race card and trying to hype Loma to the top instead of letting him earn it. At least GGG bashes can for a living and doesn't get "privileged" to the top like Vasyl. did.
Got scared and schooled? Who was hanging on for dear life in Rd 12??? So, did someone simply hand him the title after the Salido fight or did he dominate Gary Russell to earn the belt???
Gary was exhausted from destroying 24 warriors before fighting Loma. If anything the fight was a draw at worst. Gary is going get that belt too.
Lomachenko was cheated in the Salido fight, the worse referee in boxing history, Laurence Cole allowed Salido to through one illegal punch after another, so many low blows, hitting after the bell, hitting behind the head, ad infinitum.............................Lomachenko is undefeated.......................he would beat Marriaga................
