Is Mr Lomachenko the best trainer in the world?

Wow.

 

He is obviously a great trainer, also works with usyk.

Great actually professional and amateur coach in general but obviously a gifted youth coach and can nurture talent

 

After the LomaRigo fight Vasiliy said that it was like an Xbox game: he was a game character and his father — the player.
Anatoly "Papachenko" is a quiet guy but he is a huge and inseparable part of Loma's success.

Jesus wept. I like Loma but you Lomasexuals are something else.

We're already saying he has the 'best footwork of all time'? Get a hold of yourself man.

 

he's probably focusing on the flashiness of it. for example, i think its some of the best footwork i've SEEN in terms of the aesthetic of it, it looks amazing. however, i'm well aware there are hundreds of fighters from the past who used more subtlety in their footwork to get them in and/or out of position, and in some ways, i view that as better

 

Anatoly coaches the Ukraine men's Olympic boxing team also.

If you watch Vasyl's early amateur fights, going back to his loss against Albert Semilov in the finals of the 2007 World Championships, you'll see that his early style looked a lot like Mike Tyson's actually. The footwork and bob and weave is very similar. Of course, his style has changed since then, but the influence of the emphasis on footwork has remained.

Precise Puncher does a very good video about this on YouTube.

Here's a video of a former fighter out of Catskill showing peekaboo style footwork drills.

So let's acknowledge the possible early influence of Cus D'Amato, who himself created several world champions from scratch, including Tyson and Patterson.

And let's not forget that Eduardo Garcia made three world champions from scratch: his two sons plus Vargas.

 

I believe he is a very good boxing analyst. Salido fight apart (many actually criticized Anatoly and told Loma needed to find a pro trainer), he always gives specific and relevant instructions in the corner. There was a huge difference between how Loma Sr. explained what exactly his son needed to do with Rigo ducking between the rounds, and Pedro Diaz just saying something like "You have to take risk, let your hands go", which basically implied that he had no idea what to do with Lomachenko.

Clearly Lomachenko's camp did a lot to pick Rigo apart before the fight started and while many claimed that the Cuban had the best boxing IQ in the game, he was lack of ideas in the ring and to me it seemed like that was the main reason he quit.

The way he brought up and organized Lomachenko's training process, still to be called the best trainer in the world, I think you have to work with more than one fighter.

 

Joe Gallagher

 

Joe watched the rigo fight and was 'oh dear oh dear oh dear, how am i going to un teach am that head and foot movement'

 

You're giving Joe far too much credit.

He was watching that fight thinking "Why doesn't Rigo put both of his gloves up high in front of face and just keep trying to walk forward? That's clearly how to win this and any other conceivable bout."

 

Lol. Lateral movement is nails on a chalk board to Joe, i heard he want to move to the states, roundabouts drive him insane over here

 

He'd make for the world's worst goalkeeper!

 

Best trainer? Who does he train? Loma pfp best? Lmao. Foh
