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

[Silkeyjoe]

the big question is, what happens if loma loses? will he start fighting easier fights to gain experience? i think that losing a fight like this could be bad for his career. so much hype yet if he loses, he could just become a good prospect.

Dont worry he aint gonna lose.

A bit of news chaps my son talks to Rigo,! and he said he would like to fight Lomanchenko,!!!
what a fight that would be.

[Silkeyjoe]

Yea was talking to Gary Hyde the other night at a card in Dublin. He said they are planning to move up in weight and try clear out that division. Would be great to see. Rigo has the skill set to do it. Fighting bigger guys will possibly make his fights more entertaining if opposition don't respect his power as much

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I'll be rooting for Lomachenko, for the sake of a new star, however I just have this feeling that Salido will win.

Can't see Salido winning, I think he will take a beating Lomachenko all the way.

Once this fight gets to the late rounds, loma is gonna be in some deep shit.. I hope Salido kicks his ass.

Rigo is better than loma..

Seriously looking forward to this fight!
If Lomanchenko pulls this off its gonna be a hugely historic night and a new sensation in boxing will be born.

Apologies if I'm mistaken but what are u basing this on? I'm pretty sure u said in a previous thread that u hadn't seen much of Loma as an amateur. So if u are basing this on his 1 pro fight that is extremely blind of you. May I remind you Rigo scraped a SD against Cordoba, a guy Bernard dunne stopped and also looked very average against Marriquin.

Yeah there's pretty limited footage of him but enough to see his skills , I think he can win on Sat night but let's wait and see.
The 2 Olympic and World gold medals and the 399-1 amateur record then his debut pro display kind of made me sit up and take notice

im assuming that he is basing it on loma never going anywhere close to 12 rounds in the amateurs.

The kid spars hard with middleweights over 12 rounds regularly and allegedely sends a fair few to the canvas.

I here he's been doing this for years so let's see what happens on Saturday.

I'm betting on a Lomanchenko tko

Even if he loses he wins... Massive exposure on world level and one defeat ain't gonna be such a big deal really.

People will just say oh well it was only his second fight and against a champion.

I think his body shots will seriously fuck Salido up

We shall see.

[Tam Seddon]

This is the fight im looking forward to the most this weekend. Salido is no mug but you just get the feeling the boxing ability of Lomanchenko will be too much for him. Salido needs to pressure because I don't see him outboxing him. But the combinations and bodywork will be the difference in this fight I reckon. Im going for a Lomancheko KO

IF he gets into the later rounds, that's the question. If Loma tags him enough early, he might get him out of there by round 8-10. I agree if this fights get into the championship rounds, Loma might be in for some trouble. It's a heck of an interesting match-up though.

I meant the Rigo better then Loma bit. THe 12 round bit is plausible but Id be very surprised if Loma isnt sparring 20 rounds at a time so doubt he will have any stamina issues.
