    Just spotted this on YT. Sure a few of you have seen it but it's only a few days old, really well made and well worth the watch.

    His champ in 2nd fight is over simplified.. he had a few 5 rounders in WSB.. of course now it's different.. amateur is closer to pros now..

    Conceicao-Lomachenko was one of the most corrupt fights ever, Loma landed cleanly, wasn't given points for shots he landed on a number of occasions, even knocked Conceicao down a couple of times but he wasn't given a count.

    Gary Russell Jr is the current lineal Featherweight Champion and became this in under a year after his humiliating loss to Loma. So it's not over-simplified in hindsight, however GRJ was not the lineal Featherweight champ at the time.

    WSB = 5 round modern day amateur bouts. Amateur rules in all manners, soft padded gloves - this is not 'professional'.
    Pro sparring partners are paid, that's not a professional bout.

    Best technical P4P boxer beside Rigondeaux but unlike Rigondeaux Lomachenko is also very exciting

    If Lomachenko keeps finish fighters in the way he did it against Rocky, he is the future p4p #1

    He's awfully good by eye test, imo, but doesn't fight enough and lacks fights with career defining opposition.

    He's still in his 20's, isn't he? If so, he's got time, but he shouldn't sit around too much. Look at the spot GGG is in.

    He's just turned 30, I think.

    Career defining opposition?? Well,how many pro fights has Lomachenko had so far????
    Anyway! You re certainly right in saying that he shouldnt sit around too much and waste precious time outside the ring for too long.
    Lomachenko is a great fighter-one of the best amateurs of all times.Pure fun to watch for every true box aficionado!
    You ve rightfully pointed out the only flaw I really see: he is far too inactive.

    A joy to watch. Oh, the places he'll go. He's also one of the few fighters who took a title fight as his pro debut.

    Manny Pacquiao wrote the book on straight left hand, roll to the right.

    I like Hi Tek, but he left a division that was full of viable opposition to go to a thinner division.
