Can Lomachenko even compete with Donaire? couldnt even beat Salido

[IamInuit]

The question errr / statement says more then I ever could.

[Rantcatrat]

I haven't thought highly of Donaire in a few fights. Somewhere he lost some of his pizazz. I think Loma looked great in spots against Salido but he also needs some fine-tuning to the professional game. In his second professional fight he went toe-to-toe with Salido. There's no embarrassment in that. They should have him fight a few more veterans and pick up more of the pro game. He needs to learn an inside game and how to react to low blows. He also needs a better corner. He should move to a good professional trainer at least partially. Frankly, I thought Salido was coming on in the Garcia fight when they stopped it, not too long ago.

The Loma experiment failed... I don't want this to end up like the Michael Bentt story. Too soon, too soon....

Salido was good, but if Loma was what they said he was- beating Salido would have been an easy UD.

Sure, we can say he was robbed. Sure, Salido cheated a bit and the ref allowed it. But it wasn't even supposed to be that close to give it a point or two difference.

It was a glorified sparring match.... let it ride.

Lomachenko: Salido Decision Was Fair, I Blame Myself - Boxing News

[Gandalf]

Lomachenko is decent for a second fight fighter, but he is a complete idiot for doing what he did. Does he now fight journeymen or get another shot at a top fighter? He is spoiled already and deserved what he got. He needs to work at the art, a few rounds with headgear is not how you learn to go 12 at the top. Night and day.

I had Lomachenko beating Salido by a point

[gest12645]

Well , I had Salido up by 2 points. But he should've easily lost 1 or 2 points for low blows which could equal a draw. Loma is a "young" pro fighter and he will improve. He is good but I just don't see him being great. A fight or two from now , Loma beats Salido but I don't see him beating Nonito or Mikey Garcia

i wouldnt at all call him decent for a second fight fighter. he is great for only having 2 fights, but he just isnt elite yet.
