A lot of people don't even know who Lomachenko is in Classic. So naturally they're going to choose the established ATG. Saldivar hasn't got the style to worry Lomachenko, it's a very dangerous fight for Saldivar. Lomachenko has always been one of the very best boxers ever.
Who is this great Lomachenko you speak of I was meant to add tribute vids but I cant post links for 60 days :verysad
Top man :good Lomachenko's really is outstanding. Fire up the Saldivar tribute vid from youtube for me mate. The one created by haNZAgod.
loma beats saldivar in an am bout, 12 rounds under pro rules it's possible, 15 rounds saldivar all the way. always?
Saldivar had a freakily slow heart rate that allowed him to throw relentlessly for 15 rounds. We haven't seen enough of Loma yet to know if he can handle serious pressure from a seriously talented fighter like Saldivar.
Ok, I tuned in to this thread...known of Saldivar all my life...have just heard of Lomachenko just recently from my tower in Classic-land...so I watched this video, and I'm more than impressed. This guy really has some moves,...and he ended things with Martinez quite neatly. Thanks for the vid....I've got to stay tuned to this guy.
Lomachenko would be even better suited to a 15 rounder than a 12 rounder as he 1. has great stamina 2. is a great athlete 3. is a thinking fighter, who likes to break his opponent down. If Gary Russell and Salido fights went just one more round, Lomachenko would have knocked them both out.
Lomachenko is skilled enough to be called sugar. The skills, hand speeds, balance, defense, aggressiveness, punch variety, accuracy, footwork, and durability, etc...are all world class. Lomo game is so versatile, he compares with several great feathers and lightweights on specific parts of his game. Pound for pound, he's the most skilled fighter in the game. I'd pick him over Vicente Saldivar Read more at: [url]http://roundbyroundboxing.com/vasyl-lomachenko-blasts-martinez-and-makes-history/[/url]
Mendoza dont forget the level of fighter he's been performing against is not of high quality world level. I think Lomachenko's fantastic but I'm going to refrain myself from overrating him because there's still a lot of proving himself to be done before we have him beating greats in fantasy match ups. Put it this way if Loma performed the way he did vs Salido against Saldivar then he's losing big. As for Rocky Martinez- He's game but bang average. Every single great would have looked amazing against him. Some would have completely walked through him inside a couple of rounds.
