HBO: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Roman Martinez & Felix Verdejo vs. Juan Jose Martinez RBR.

I wasn't referring to you man it's cool lol I think you're one of his biggest fans. They are tough fights, Corrales feinted Uchiyama to perfection, using his wild shots to set up great shots that he threw, countering Uchiyama's punches that he realised Uchiyama would throw by watching tapes.
- Lomachenko is so difficult to understand, though.

 

:deal

 

And the same at 135 if/when he ever makes that jump too.

 

The way he starts swaggering back to his corner a few seconds before the bell is pure OG.

 

I know you weren't you said it in your post. I think Corrales would probably give him his hardest fight at 130 due to what you just said about him and his awkwardness.

Lomachenko is p4p #1 IMO. Who is more skilled than him, who is a more complete fighter. What fighter if they were the same weight as him could beat him? His movement, feints, combination of defence and attack, variety of punches, variety in tempo and placement, his boxing brain, tactics, focus.... there is no one else in boxing who can come close to what Lomachenko brings to the table. The next best is Andre Ward IMO.

 

Rocky in his corner after round 2, protesting to his coach "But the ***** keeps moving"

 

Yeah he will in a year or two, he already fought there in the amateurs/WSB.

 

:good

Agreed. The only things he needed before was to acclimate to some of the aspects of the pro game, like proper pacing to a 12 round fight. He's there now, and is still getting better. His ability to learn, adapt, and apply the right tactics in response is remarkable.

 

I saw the KO, but haven't had a chance to watch the whole fight.

The only thing stopping Lomachenko from being at the top of the pound for pound list is his level of opposition.

 

Poetry, preach.
Andre Ward is a great, great fighter, I can't wait for him to prove it more.

 

Lomachenko's in his athletic prime, too. We need to see him go on a great run whilst he's in his athletic prime. This is a great division, I'm happy that they all have the guts to fight him, although this fight may make them doubt a little lol.

I don't think Salido expected this.

 

Yes, I agree.
Tbh, wins over Walters, Vargas, Salido, Corrales, Pedraza would shoot him to the top. That's a dangerous set of opponents.
It would be so sad if he fights someone like Kokietgym as a 'title defence'.

Wow! I saw he was doing something but the camera didn't show it properly.
