Jr. looked better than he ever has before. Maybe he's going to take his career seriously now. I hope he does because he could become an elite fighter.

Jr. did look good. Damn, Vera sure can take a punch. That 11th round was awesome.

Does anyone actually like JCC? Can't stand the dude and his constant whining. 90% of the time he was leaning into vera

Oh and the point reduction was ridiculous

Great fight between Chavez Jr. and Vera. And this time they got the decision right.
Also, I was really happy to see LOLmachenko lose. Welcome to the pros.

I don't get why people are hating on Loma. He had serious balls fighting Salido in his second pro fight and he did a damn good job. He out landed Salido, beat him up badly in the final two rounds, and was way more accurate all night long. This is really impressive considering Salido was two weight classes heavier on fight night and landed at least 20 low blows in that fight. I mean, he only lost by split decision.
Those body punches were being way overblown....if they were as effective as HBO made it out to be, Loma would have broken down. But, Loma was more fresh in the final five rounds than in the first five. That's not a sign of great body work by Salido. Don't get me wrong, he was working the body and took Loma off his game, but he wasn't pounding him like Lampley was claiming.
Give me a guy like Lomachenko who wants the best over a pu$$y like Gary Russell or Deontay Wilder who are still fighting tomato cans five years into their professional careers.
Total punches
Salido 142/645...22%
Loma 164/441...37%
Jabs
Salido 5/99.......5%
Loma 59/202...29%
Power Punches
Salido 137/546...25%
Loma 105/239...44%
Salido got outlanded by 18 despite throwing 204 more.

quote:I don't really hate Lomachenko. I barely know him (only seen two of his fights). And I absolutely agree that I admire and appreciate his willingness to fight the best early in his career. But, through no fault of his own, he was billed as the "prospect of the year" by Ring, ESPN, etc. I always enjoy when hype trains get derailed (Broner, Matthysse, Loma, whoever). The only person I hate is Bob Arum. And knowing that Loma is with Top Rank added a little extra satisfaction when he lost, knowing that one of Arum's presumed future cash cows would take a little longer to arrive.
I don't get why people are hating on Loma . . . Give me a guy like Lomachenko who wants the best over a pu$$y like Gary Russell or Deontay Wilder who are still fighting tomato cans five years into their professional careers.
On top of all that, I was rooting for Salido. A veteran champion, yet an underdog against a fighter with one professional fight in his career.
This, obviously, is only the beginning for Lomachenko. He will likely go on to be a star. He showed tremendous skill to be so young in his career. Also showed tremendous grace and professionalism in defeat. . . But last night wasn't his night. I scored it 115-113 Salido. Gave rounds 5,7, 10, 11, and 12 to Lomachenko.

Laurence Cole was on full retard for that fight. He was really terrible.

That was so dumb. And Roy Jones was the only one who thought it was a good call, then he kept saying it was right because the ref warned him so many times before. Good call Roy.

I understand this point....but for me the guy I want to see get blasted so bad is Zou Shiming. Arum builds these cards in Macau and puts Shiming in there with nobodies and is making a killing off this guy. Sure, it's smart business but as a boxing fan it's clear to see that this guy is a KTFO waiting to happen. Unlike Lomachenko, Shiming is a hype job.
I like Lomachenko and I really wanna see him do big things. If the Cold War ends, Lomachenko-Russell Jr. is one of the first fights I wanna see. Russell is just wasting his career at this point by doing nothing.

Was it Kellerman or Lampley that said "DON'T DO IT!" the moment he paused the action to take the point away?
And I was happy to hear Lampley blast Cole in the Salido-Lomachenko fight. He didn't do anything about the holding, low blows, etc. It would have been a much better fight had he stopped that nonsense.

What do you guys think of this Chavez-Golovkin fight Arum is talking about? Surely GGG would have to move up to 168 because there is no freaking way Chavez can make 160.
If this fight gets made, Andre Ward will have to check himself into a mental facility.

Support. I think you're right that it would have to be at 168.
Posted on 3/2/14 at 8:18 pm to tigerpimpbot
Would be a great fight. As long as Chavez keeps training seriously, he has a home at super middleweight.
Glovokin would KO his arse in 5
