Lomachenko's latest masterpiece

Here is Lomachenko vs Valentino from last night, Valentino was a world champ and one of the most highly ranked guys around the weight class. Pay close attention to the post round slo-mo replays, you can't really appreciate how precise Vasyl is when you're watching in real time. Absolute beast with far more pro potential than Rigo imo.

19:55 :shock:

 

Because before Rigo clowned Donaire everybody was saying "Amateur achievements mean absolutely nothing". Now people might be more receptive to the idea that boxing skills are boxing skills, whether pro or amateur. Here is what is essentially a pro contest, of another double olympic gold medallist. This is a boxing forum isn't it? I'm hyping up a fighter up that deserves hype, don't you get a bit tired of everybody always hating on fighters? I'm a massive Rigo fan and he's my favourite fighter in the pro game, I'm just trying to put things in perspective. Loma was an even more dominant amateur with more of a pro style than Rigo, I'm just saying "You think Rigo is good, wait until this guy turns pro". I'm not putting Rigo down but I knew he'd dominate Donaire if his chin held up, Rigo just did what he's done for 15 years.
All I've seen you post is homosexual projecting. That's fine but keep it to yourself, if you feel like talking about boxing at some point feel free to jump in and contribute :good

 

Is Lomachenko a pressure counter-puncher? :think
I think that's a perfect way to describe his style tbh.

 

I agree, and yes Usyk is absolutely brilliant. I'd be hyping the **** out of him too but then I'd be accused of just being a Ukraine fanboy. Lomachenko was really switched on and focused for the Valentino fight, I haven't seen that spark from him for a while now. It's almost like he's been going through the motions in recent times. I think that maybe the Selimov fight was a wake up call, he realised that he can't just cruise through top opposition.

 

I thought the same about Usyk, I had some questions about his chin because in his fights against Beterbiev he looked rocked at times to me. Maybe it's the smaller guys he has problems with, he battered Medzhidov and he is a legit heavy with power. The way he made 6'6 270 pound, pro record 13-0 Modungo submit in the second round like that in his last fight shows that size in itself is not going to be an issue for Usyk in the pro ranks. Usyk isn't really that small anyway, 6'3 and 210 pounds. Just the way he moves and his skills make him look like a slick middleweight. He could really be something special when he turns pro, he is the most skilled heavyweight I think I've ever seen, he's got the looks and the personality to be a big star imo. Just needs to develop his punching power and learn English, and he'll be the complete package.

 

I'm calling it now, Usyk can beat both the Klits. Look at Solis against Vitali before the injury, his head movement and all his punches were finding the target. Usyk is brilliant at slipping and getting in range, from mid and close range Usyk is miles ahead of the Klits. He might have problems with Wlad, his athleticism might be enough to stop Usyk from getting close enough to work.
