He has been fighting much bigger opponents as an amateur and he is small for his WSB weightclass. The guy probably never cuts weight and always seems to be small in relation to his competition. The guy could easily make featherweight as a pro and would be a monster in that division.
Real pro debut, his contract with WSB is up in May then he'll sort out his pro contract and fight in the states. In a recent interview Lomachenko said that the best pro boxing is in the US, he's been saying that for a long time so it won't be too long until we see him on HBO or Showtime fighting under Top Rank or Golden Boy, I guarantee it. That's his goal and that's what all of his training is geared towards. Apparently Usyk and Berinchyk are also going to turn pro after this season of WSB.
Agreed. Rigondeaux fighting p4p top 5 guy in his twelfth fight, he should really stop ****ing around and do something worthwhile.
He says on there it is and he seems to know things before they are announced on the WSB site so either it is or someone very close to him.. I believe he has a Ukrainian account as well. Amateur record of 396-1 :shock:
Actually having pro looks at WSB vs. live opponents is the best preparation an amateur turning pro can have, it's a good transition and he can skip 4 rounders and cab drivers and debut without jumping up in class too early. If he turns pro this Summer, fighting for a youth title is not out of question this time next year, than onto bigger belts.
