Video: Vasyl Lomachenko KOs Martinez paving way to Salido rematch

I wish I had thought of putting it that way. Very well said, and nice seeing you around, marting!

:thumbsup

 

My pre-recording ritual was no different this time than any other.

Do you really think all of those guys are as good as Lomachenko? And what do you attribute that to? Just a good program? Specific team of coaches?

 

I disagree, and don't think you need to look any further than some of the criticisms Wladimir receives for not having avenged any of his 3 losses, barring the one he avenged years later when it was no longer relevant. At this moment in time, Lomachenko has been presented with an opportunity that he should pounce on immediately.

 

I want to see it. I think it would give us an indication of how he progressed in his transition to the pros. I suspect he's capable of being "crafty" in the same mold of a Bernard Hopkins or an Andre Ward or a Carlos Molina this time around, and I would be interested in seeing them have a second go.

 

Thanks Robney. And building on my post just above this - I agree it was close - but I want to see what Lomachenko can do against Salido. If he does a little better he SHOULD win. But what happens if he does a lot better? What happens if he does worse? I'm terrible at making predictions, but I know this is a fight I'd like to see, and I think it makes sense for both guys.

I think some people (not you) are understating what a rematch victory can mean for Lomachenko in the grand scheme.
