I give big respect to Lomanchenko. In a sport where young guys are afraid to take risks in fear of failing and falling into obscurity, he jumped into the deep end right away with a complete monster in Salido, who had a huge size advantage.

Obviously he had a lot of problems with Salido and there's obviously still that awkward adjusting period he needs to go through to become a legit pro, but he fought well, made a relatively close fight out of it and made no excuses. So good for him. I wish more guys were like him and took huge risks in this sport.
