I really thought Loma won that fight. Even if you had Salido ahead, if you deduct 2 points for the low blows than Loma either takes the fight on your card or it's a draw. Besides Salido being overweight and the other theatrics, Lomachenko outlanded Salido. He landed the much cleaner shots. He hit the head, while Salido would land shots to the body that had no where near the effect. I think Lomachenko was robbed, what about you guys?
No. No robbery as it pertains to scoring. The extracurriculars, however, are unfortunate. The low blows and shanking the weight were a shame. But I give Loma tons of credit for stepping up so big so early, taking the loss and building on it, and showing that he is a top, top operator.
No. Loma is not a warrior, he ran around until the 9th and had no plan of attack. Salido was ****ing drunk hours before the fight and beat his ass half sober. Loma is a Top Rank hype job that Rigo will reduce to journeyman.
And what will you say when Loma knocks that little troll out cold? What that the great and mighty Rigondeaux was a hypejob.:-(
I thought Loma lost a close but clear decision. It was a very tough style for him to deal with in just his 2nd pro fight. Salido did what he does best- he brought the aggression and went for broke in that fight. His workrate in that fight was the difference, regardless of the low blows that occurred. Loma should've stepped up his work rate from early on and he would've had a solid chance to win.
I wouldn't say it was a robbery, but it was a fight they could have easily given to the "Golden Boy" (guy they were trying to hype up). It was an extremely close fight. Salido didn't do **** the whole fight except low blow, use head and other dirty tactics; basically whatever he wanted because the sh*tty referee didn't do anything about it and Loma didn't have any pro experience so he didn't know how to react. Loma had a difficult time pacing himself. He didn't really getting his rhythm until the second half of the fight. But trolls and haters are going to live from this official "defeat" Loma has and they're going to act as if Salido completely shut him out and beat the **** out of him.
half of the punches that salido landed were low blows, so if those are not counted , then Loma either won it or it's a draw.
Yes because Salido should've been disqualified for repeated illegal punches to the groin throughout the whole 12 round contest.
I had it 115-113 to Lomachenko, but I have no problem if people even had it 116-112 to Salido. Ultimately, it should have been a DQ victory to Lomachenko. It was an absolute farce of a fight but I'm so happy Lomachenko wasn't given the decision, otherwise he would have continued to fight like that, thinking it's ok to be overly economical and amateur point-scoring to the nth degree.
Absolutely not. It was a close fight, in no way can a close fight ever be called a robbery. Easily a draw.
