I can't understand why anyone objects to this matchup, it's exciting and good for boxing. If it's the fact that Loma hasn't earned a title shot, should it not matter how Salido won the thing then? He fought for the same vacant belt that Mikey Garcia pummelled him to take just months before, against Orlando Cruz, who had never done anything. If the WBO strap hadn't been on the line in that fight, would anyone complain about Loma getting the chance to fight Salido now?

How can people consistently declare how useless all these trinkets are, and then have a problem with a good crossroads fight happening, because one of them happens to be on the line Fighters make the belts, Salido is a weak and old champ who would probably lose to a dozen fighters in his division quite clearly. I imagine Loma will completely wreck him.
