Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Orlando Salido rematch targeted for August

By Daily Sports on May 19, 2017

The rematch between WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs) and former two division world champion Orlando Salido (43-13-4, 30 KOs) is being targeted for early August, according to RingTV.com.
Lomachenko’s promoter Bob Arum is looking at making the Lomachenko-Salido rematch at around that time at a still to be determined venue in the U.S.

Fortunately for the boxing fans, Arum will be looking to stage the fight in the U.S rather than overseas like he’s done at times in the past. That would have been tough to see Lomachenko and Salido fighting in Macao, China like with some of Arum’s other cards in the past.

Lomachenko, 29, wants to avenge his loss to Salido from 2014. It’s unfortunate that the rematch has taken this long to finally happen because Salido is now 36-years-old and he hasn’t won a fight since 2014. Lomachenko doesn’t mind that Salido has been winless for 3 years. He still wants to fight him.

Whether Lomachenko wants to admit it or not, he’s probably not going to get full credit for beating Salido at this stage, because the Mexican fighter’s record is 1-1-2 in his last 4 fights since his win over Lomachenko.

However, one can definitely argue that Salido’s true record should be 4-0 in his last 4 fights, because he appeared to win all four of them, especially the two draws. Salido fought to a 12 round draw in his last two fights against Francisco Vargas and Roman Martinez.
