Lomanchenko V Salido - WBO Featherweight title - Alamodome - Texas - 1/3/2014

Just seen this on Boxrec, says "bout subject to change & commission approval" so i hope it happens.

Boxing may have a new superstar in Lomanchenko

Vasyl Lomachenko - Boxer

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
