Ted Sares shares his thoughts on the Orlando Salido vs. Vasyl Lomachenko March 1st fight in Texas.
When was the last time you watched a professional fight where the favorite’s record was 1-0? March 1 you say? However, Vasyl Lomachenko (1-0) failed to make boxing history tonight in San Antonio by winning a world title in only his second professional fight as he lost a split decision against gritty and savvy Orlando “Siri” Salido (41-12-2). The record, by the way, was set by Thailand’s Saensak Muangsurin, who won a junior welterweight world title in just his third professional bout in 1975 against Spaniard Perico Fernandez.
