I never said Cole won it for him. I said the entire ordeal leaves a bad taste. A bad taste because Salido will most likely get a title shot because of it and Loma will be burned at the stake like he is already.
Maybe a rematch yeh? I don't think he is being burned, just called on what unfolded. He took the fight and was afforded the 'oppurtunity' and talked himself into it. No going back now. A bright spot is rounds 11,12 were his best. He finally settled and closed
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
This ref is starting to interfere to much. Its like he's getting ready to jump in anytime Vera might get to something on the inside.
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
Chavez is such a prick. I'd just love to see him fight Ward.

There is a Chavez insurance policy
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
Vera starting to take a beating
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
Bob Sheridan has Vera in front. The referee appears to be helping Chavez a bit, but no way is Chavez losing this right now.

Another bought and paid for ref. The point deduction was ridiculous. Chavez coaching him well.
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
Chavez managed to go 1-1 with an ESPN fighter. If he ever fights anybody world class who is remotely his own weight he'll get humiliated.
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
Chavez won this but I'd laugh if he lost or caused a draw because of the 12th.
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
Chavez is clearly ready for Willie Edwards.
I'll be suprised if this kid doesn't end his career eating his 2 am bowls of cereal through a straw.

No. GGG.
Ward will just outbox and school Junior. GGG will hurt him.
Re: Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014
Chavez won. No doubt about it. I like Vera a lot and gave him 4 rounds.
He was never down (almost in the 12th on a balance shot) and he was bringing it the whole time.
Good fight.
Salido pulled the shit, but he deserved the win. He simply won more rounds while Lomachenko was clinching.
Lomachenko was all class though, NEVER complained once about repeated low blows, made excuses or complained about the decision.

People are already calling him a hype job lol. Boxing fans kill me at times. I agree with you. We all bitch about the coddling and padding and this guy jumps at an opportunity and now he's a hypejob.
I would disagree. No matter how good the amateur they still need to adapt to the 'new' sport. In the UK it is like a top class Rugby League player moving over to Rugby Union. The player maybe top notch but they will need time to learn new strategies, plays, positions and also new training methods.
Even the very best amateurs and Lomanchenko is such, need time to bed in. Maybe not tons of time, but still a bit. Look at Ray Leonard or De La Hoya, top class amateurs they still took a year/18 months to adapt, and they did not turn out too bad.
And this is not hindsight, I wrote this down in the thread before the fight. The only example we have of a top amateur fighting the best from fight one is Rademacher, and that did not turn out so well. I hope Lomanchenko's management reflect on this, before deciding what to do next, before it is too late.

and yes he probably should have had a few fights before taking on salido but lets not shit on the guy and call him a hypejob cause he lost to a legit dude who beats everyone but the very elite as of late...and hell loma didnt make excuses for it bu he did fight a welter tonight, comend the guy for going for it and hopfully now he can have his five or six bumfights and come back stronger.
