Will Vasyl Lomachenko ever turn pro?

He earns good money as an amateur so unless he gets offered stupid money I can't see it, shame if he don't, he's a superb boxer.

 

He's meant to be after the WSB finishes isn't he??

 

Is he? Good news if true.

 

He's turning pro after his contract with the WSB expires in May, I'm surprised that anybody who has heard of him doesn't know that by now.

 

I seem to remember reading an article that said he was looking at potential promoters for after WSB. Can't find the article though. Theres a Times article as well claiming a lot of suitors are trying to tempt him after the tournement is over.

 

2007 worlds he got beaten by Selimov on a close points loss, some think he should've won. He drew Selimov for the first round of the Beijing olympics and beat him easily on his way to gold.

 

I suspect that Vasyl turns pro right after the WSB campaign.

And when he does he will clean out the lightweight division.

:deal

 

Yeah he's signaled his intentions to turn pro after the WSB season is over. Im calling it now, he's going to be world champ in 5 fights. Broner look out:bbb

 

He looks more like a super-feather than a lightweight imo.

Broner or Rios would batter him.

 

Did he not sign with AiBA pro? If he did, what a waste.

 

he was intending hanging around for the next Olympics.

 

He's the exact same height as Broner and he's not exactly lightly built so I don't know why you say that. That kid Maxwell would tower over Broner and Rios as well, he's close to 6ft.

 

Loma doesnt have great power & he'll have to adjust his hyper-athletic style for 12 round fights.

Once his feet slow down he'll get tagged more often, if they throw him in too soon with an elite opponent with a good chin & massive physical advantages (ie a Broner or a Rios) he'll get beat up.
