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.
