Official Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Orlando Salido RbR & Discussion thread

[CubanGuyNYC]

They obviously brought Lomo up too fast. Bad idea. But you have to admit, that's not a bad showing for a kid practically coming straight from the amateurs versus a solid, cagey veteran champion. (Not to mention the weight disadvantage and low blows.) Maybe this'll work out for Vasyl in the end. He got massive pro experience overnight. A few cab drivers from now, he might really be ready.

Come On Kellerman...PATHETIC! HBO PUPPETS WITH NO BALLS! They just say what they are told to say!

HBO tries to dictate to the fans what the see and what they believe, I guess that crap works on Casuals but Hardcore Boxing Fans Not Buying Your BS HBO

Man, Chavez jr on that coke......I can see it in his sweat...dude is a joke.

lampley had me rollin

I had salido winning, but his dirty tactics were disgusting, but he did otherwise get the victory.

Cole is just awful.

Lol Cole is a bum. Salido won but I would have loved for him to get robbed.

Loma's talent and potential is off the charts, he just wasn't the least bit ready for a fight like this. This doesn't mean he's a bum or that he won't become a good fighter. Hell, I'd pick him to beat Salido in a rematch.

This was a risk that backfired. I applaud that he took it.

Exactly, I do want to see where he will go from here, Salido is a pretty good fighter and Lomachenko was competitive with a bull**** style. He just needs to become a real pro fighter and hopefully this fight helps that.

The hype is over before it even started.

Loma looks very average, I saw it in the first 3 rounds. I don't know how we won gold twice and how he beat 396 fighters. He looks very average and stiff.

2 different games amateurs is not the pros and vice versa he just needs more pro experience i think he will go on to do big things thats a big leap for a guy in his second pro fight he no other fighter has tried to do this

Just listen to Kellerman. Dude is a damn diva. The entire HBO commentary are clearly "yes" men.

I like Roy Jones, he's very good.

But Max Kellerman is awful.

[Kuyukut]

Lomachencko is like Marquez both fighters’ takes their defeat like a man.
