Vasyl Lomachenko, real deal..?

Suicide surely??

I mean this has to go wrong. Salido is a top competitor, a seasoned pro, hard as nails and has beat the shit out of some serious fighters. No, no no no... I'm calling suicide on this one.

Epic fail.

I think all you need to know about Loma is he hits very hard for a fighter who's been an amateur so long. No question his skills are better then Salido. He is a lot lot faster and his defence is better. Salido is probably tougher but can't confirm because Lomas so good he hasn't been tested. Salido ain't winning this and anyone who wants to back him I will certainly take their bet

I agree. I like Salido. But it's a bad style match up for him. I see the Garcia all over again

I think he looks great, certainly doesn't fight like an amateur and waste energy and appears to have a whole bunch of tools. I think he'll beat up Salido but it's very interesting and I love that it's likely happening.

Lomachenko looked good; he certainly improved his footwork from the amateur fight I watched. He wastes too much movement, moves more than he needs to, and he gets to square inside a lot of times.
I don't understand how the guy he fought got to be 24-1 or whatever he was. He is certainly one of the slowest punching boxers I have ever seen.
