Not that I want anyone's career ruined, but I hope he gets beat in devastating fashion.

Maybe deter every fighter who believes the pros and amateurs are the same from diving straight into world title fights.

It annoys me, when it took fighters like groves 19 fights to get a world title shot, even Tyson fury who is 21 fights.

If a fighters good enough then he's good enough ;)

Lomanchenko proved beyond any doubt he's already a class act and more than ready for this,

He destroyed Ramirez in his first pro fight and made it look easy.

Southpaw with killer body shots and KO power.

What more do you think he should do to prove himself ready?

Have a second fight?

The devastating defeat is coming to Salido, he's a good fighter but Lomanchenko is levels above
him, he has vast amounts of experience already.
I normally would say he would need 15 or 20 fights but in this case not, this guy is outstanding
he's miles better than the other contenders out there.:)

Exactly, the Kids ready now to fight for a title,

I don't wanna see him dragged along against a series of walkover fights for a few years!

He says he's ready, he's proved he's ready so let him go for it

I agree i think he's gonna win the title in style and wouldn't be surprised at all if he scores a KO victory against Salido ;)

I love this because it's a kick in the bollocks to the rose-tinted mob that claim boxing has gone backwards and amateur experience has no impact on the pro's these days.

It's not just Lomachenko, a whole bunch of current talent rising to the top have extensive amateur experience - Rigo, Golovkin, Kovalev etc

I agree with Fenster on this one, but there have been plenty of talented amateurs who didn't do as well as expected (Harrison), especially this early in their careers (Rademacher), to leave doubts in almost everyone's mind.
Unusual event will have everyone watching, even non-boxing fans. Twitter and Facebook will see to that.

Lomanchenko is awesome, if he wins his next fight I wonder if he'll consider moving up the weight divisions or if he'll clean up where he is first.

I'm looking forward to this as much as any fight on the horizon. If he beats Salido easily he's going to become a star really quickly. He's obviously an exceptional talent but it's stiff competition for your second pro fight. He must be destroying guys in the gym for Top Rank to have agreed to this fight so soon.

Its comical, the same people who give out about fighters going through the rankings fighting journey men, then past their best former champs to become champs, and then complain about this.

Lomachenko better be special because Salido is one tough hombre.

Isn't he about 26 yr old anyway even tho there is a difference between the pro game and amateur , he's been in boxing a good few years,

Loma has already competed in those ams tournaments without headgear so actually he's more experienced than his pro record indicates..

Orlando feels disrespected and I hope he wrecks loma..
