    Asides from it being a tough country to live in Anatoly Lomachenko deserves a lot of credit, he has been involved with the Ukrainian amateur squad and has a unique style of coaching and has created a new style of fighting that is evident especially with Loma and Usyk. I'd love to know more about Anatoly and how he developed such an immense boxing brain

    Is it fair to say the K2 Bros inspired this generation of Ukrainian champions or do y'all reckon they were just a sign of what's to come?

    3G is Kazak

    but 2Slyk and Nomas are good examples of dominating champions.#

    Not sure the K bros are good examples, they needed 2 of them tagteaming o even get close to being a world level force.

    Chernobyl !
    Something ain't right, uysk was born almost 9 months to the day after Chernobyl, if that doesn't raise red flags i don't know what will.
    He needs to be gene tested.

    Kovalev is an example of a POS that those guys should not be. A drunken, bigoted, Russian stereotype getting his ass handed to him by people that he feels are inferior (his words, not mine).
    The universe is whooping his punk ass. Shout out to Ukraine and all the resistance fighters having to battle it out on their home front with no real news coverage.

    That’s like saying Infern0121 is not a geographer.

    It’s hard for the Cubans to adjust from Communism, absent many basic necessities, to Democracy and an abundance of material excess.

    My wife is Cuban. She said an elderly uncle of hers, from Cuba, cried (tears, snot, everything) the first time he set foot in an American grocery store.
