i just dont think that he has earned a shot at the title yet. although he easily beat ramirez in his first pro fight (which is impressive), ramirez was still a nobody. he hadnt beaten anybody with any sort of name at all and lost to worthless fighters. i have no idea who will win since i havent watched loma's amateur fights but i would have to think that salido would win. if loma can overcome the tenacity of salido, i will be very surprised and will then admit that he is the real deal.
