What a performance! I must admit I'm late to the party with this guy but watching that last night, phenomenal footwork and finishing punches, so tell me about him... Where's he rank in you pound for pound lists? What big fights are on the horizon for him and how often is he fighting?
Ricky's performance was better. - Billy, from Scotland. Joking aside, the man is a phenomenal boxer. That KO was epic!
The guys footwork is dif class and ok he is 28 but he willing to take on elite out there aswell his hand speed and accuracy is frightening
I missed it, gonna have to try get it on YouTube. When they show a UK card it gets repeated about 3 times a day for a week. When you miss a overseas show your lucky if they show 3 repeats in a week.
Could he fight flanagan ????...he seems to go the wbo route...dont be surprised if frank trys to make it
Was that his best performance as a pro then? Honestly thought it was breathtaking. I know Martinez is probably level B opposition now but that was different level.....
Just seen the fight and I have to say that is the best performance i have seen from a boxer since I can remember. Don't think he took a punch through the fight. Don't be surprised if he wins world titles all the way up to 147.
Was that on the provodnikov bill? Didn't he win a title his on his 3rd outing ? Can't believe there hasn't been as much hype over this guy, incredible amateur and straight into a title fight when turned pro. Real purest boxing fans boxer. Amazing footwork and punches I enjoy his fights more Than watching GGG
Lets put the reality brakes on here people. Lomachenko whilst talented nevre beat and stopped some all time great. Rocky is game enough, but Burns roughed him up, and beat him up several years ago in a fight Ricky was meant to get KO'd in. Salido exposed Lomachenko's limitations, and gave him a boxing lesson two years ago. Lets not get carried away here.
Lomachenko and Provodnikov were on separate bills, and their respective fights started at same time as each other. And yes, Loma beat Gary Russell Jr in his third fight, to win the vacant WBO world Featherweight title. Beating Roman Martinez at the weekend means Vasyl has won world titles in two weights after seven peofessional fights.
You clearly never watched the Salido fight.. Firstly Salido came in massively over weight. Secondly He never gave him a lesson Salido wrestled.. elbowed and held on. Was a robbery of a decision and Salido also should of been disqualified. I think there was a thought process by the Ref and Judges of who does he think he is World title in 2nd fight. He beats everyone upto 140 with the exception of Crawford. that one is a 50/50
Titles up to 147lbs?! No chance. Lonachenko has probably peaked weight wise. You know he is about 28 right.
Let's not forget the insane amount of low blows from Salido in that fight. It was awful but the sort of fight he needed to introduce him to the pro ranks. In terms of sheer boxing skill he is absolutely superb. So long as he holds a solid chin (which he seems to) then I think genuinely have an ATG here
Lomachenko learned from the Salido fight he's like a computer just stores all the info away in his brain
