Well, at least he didn't get "seriously" hurt by Orlando Salido. Perhaps he should have won the fight, too.

Whatever it is, I think he made history. I had a feeling Salido would do exactly what he did- rough him up, push him around, get away with some professional tricks and stifle Lomanchenko just a bit.

The ref was a bit shit. I blame Arum for not getting a proper ref and doing a better job with working with the judges. Clearly a Salido crowd too.

I think Lomanchenko should try for a title fight again... it was a bit of a fairy-tale for him to get a shot, so soon. A bit unfair to the guys that were toiling for so long trying to get a title shot. But sometimes the market calls for the exceptional to be done in order for the ordinary to step their game up.
