    Not that it matters, but it's pretty well known in the Ukrainian tabloids that loma is gay

    Again I know this is neither here or there, but it will be interestingto see if a future opponent brings it up as a form of trash talk, and how Vasyl deals with it.

    Alot of hype for a guy who hasn't even turned pro yet.

    Overhyped?:huh:nut

    A handful of people on a boxing forum and other boxing fans having high expectations of him (and rightly so) is not the same as overhyping someone my man. :blood

    The hype surrounding him is completely proportional looking at his talent and pro style of fighting if you ask me.

    Now Canelo, that's an example of one overhyped dude.
    The first time I saw him fight I couldn't believe how limited he was after all the hype surrounding him on esb and plenty of other websites.

    Lomachenko's pro prospects were ruined when he signed with that AIBA pro league bs, dude won't start getting legit fights outside of former Soviet Satellites until he's 30

    Nobody is more hyped than broner,that I will not deny.Talented no doubt but at least Loma accomplished what broner never could,twice!.Broner was doing time in jail for idiotic crimes.Loma actually took both golds didn't wait for GB to hand him quintero/pdl decisions & p4p ranking to go along with it.


    This amateurs-pro **** is getting blown out of proportion.Rigo/Vasyl have way more bouts under their belts amateur or pro than 95% of the guys out here.Their skill set is undeniable yet they still get deemed amateurs.Pernell said winning gold was his biggest accomplishment as a boxer, but guess winning Olympic gold now at days doesn't mean **** when a Ukrainian does it twice smh.

    Lomachenko reminds me of Sweet Pea's pro debut: a seasoned pro vet. Calm, ccollective, picking your shots, sitting on your punching, excellent defense.
    We'll see how far, if at all, Vasyl will go in the pro's but it looks very promising (oh sorry I meant to say ''overhyped'').

    Canelo isn't over hyped most people are realistic about what he is, we will see against Trout and Cotto soon if he is legit, he isn't Ortiz though
