*Fight was the primary undercard bout for [[Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Brian Vera (2nd meeting)]].
*ESPN's [[Dan Rafael]] scored the bout a 114-114 draw, while Badlefthook.com had it 115-113 for Salido.
*Lomachenko lost. The title was declared vacant

After 17 years fighting around the featherweight division, Salido couldn't make the 126 any longer, despite having spent the last 5 days without eating and without drinking, Salido weighed over 128 pounds and lost the title, however the fight went on and Salido recovered very well for the night of the fight, winning most of the first and middle rounds, attacking and forcing the action, but not giving a target fixed, and although Lomachenko closed very strong the last 2 rounds, that wasn't enough and Salido got a not easy but convincingly victory. After the fight many Lomachenko fans complained about the low blows that Salido landed in the fight, but it was undeniable that the old wolf of Salido simply "ate" the inexperienced in professional boxing Lomachenko, who had an unbelievable record of 396-1 and two Olympic gold medals as an amateur.

Julioavr:

Fight of the year for WBC, Yahoo sports, ESPN, USA Today and Fightnews.com, Salido a heavy underdog came strong and pressed the action during the entire fight against Francisco Vargas, a younger and bigger fighter who just came from a war against the rough Takashi Miura, in a fight that what was selected as the fight of the year in 2014. Both fighters went toe to toe for pretty most of the fight but none of them went to the canvas, extremely close fight with some of the observers feeling that Salido deserved the decision.

Salido had the chance to get a revenge of their last fight -one of the best in 2015-, showing a tremendous condition and relentless attack, connecting plenty of times on the body of Martinez, who simply couldn't stop the pressure of Salido who threw 1037 punches in the fight, and looks as the clear winner, however, the judges settled a draw in a fight that most of the people felt that Salido undoubtedly won.
