    if anything having a glass jaw will make you fight better, improve your defense. "hit and not be hit"

    Exactly, that's why a lot of the Ukrainian fighters tend to be rather defensive.

    A style I find very attractive, they fight really well. Loma, Usyk, Wladdy, etc.

    They are not. Both Usyk and Loma were both held back from the professionals for a reason. If they started young they wouldn’t even be relevant at this point. These guys are just beating highschoolers when they’re both 30 year old men.

    Usyk definitely deserves more credit thannLomachenko though.

    It’s not only their style you find attractive.

    Just be honest MVC.

    Lomachenko sr. produced this class of Ukrainains. It was a once off, Ukraine aren’t that strong anymore. You’re just seeing the results from that class on the pro game now.

    No, boxing is not popular at all in Ukraine. Maybe it was much bigger when Klitschko were starting their career, but still not even close in popularity to soccer.

    Can you elaborate what it means? Exactly how are Linares, Walters, Rigondeaux, Russell Jr highschoolers when all of them are older than Lomachenko or the same age and have more experience in the pros?

    Isn't Golovkin a Khazak?

    Anyway, the connecting variable between Lomachenko, Usyk, Klitschko, etc appears to be a strong national amateur program. All of these guys are Olympians, ain't they?
