arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all time he is one of the most talented and skilled fighters i have seen who knows how well he translate to pro... but i think he'll do fine This content is protected his pro debut is in a couple months
He won't be P4P. He'll either go the GGG route and be avoided, or have the Rigondeux sense of entitlement and **** his years away.
Can't wait for him to turn pro, I expect big things when he does. I don't want to make to many crazy predictions, but I think his potential is close to unlimitless. You can never be sure how someone makes the transition, but Lomachenko is as complete a fighter as I've ever seen in the amatuer ranks and he has a style which is already suited to the pro game. The kid is special, there is no doubt of that
He's seems to have a good support team in place so I don't see the early issues that Rigo had with contracts etc myself. Similar to Golovkin, perhaps. However he's a far bigger name than Golovkin was when he turned pro, and a much better fighter at amatuer level, and i believe he will be as a pro. I think he will sign for golden boy or top rank and they will push him correctly, but time will tell
Thought he signed with some promotional company that does amateur fights without headgear? He's going to be fighting actual pro rules now?
He's fighting in the WSB at the moment, which is pro rules but not included within your official record. I believe I'm right in saying he's contracted to that until May, where he has said after that he's turning pro properly
I know, I've watched every fight and looking forward to his match with Maxwell on Friday. He's looked outstanding in it so far, and obvious the competition is a good level. Still there is the odd question mark, stamina and chin for instance, which will only be confirmed in a 12 round fight at the top level. I don't think it will be an issue for him, but time will tell
Suprisingly for a guy who's fought exclusively as an Amateur, Lomanchenko goes to the body very well.
