    :patsch:patsch GTFO

    Power, Speed, Athleticism, Reflexes, Angles, Offense and Footspeed = Pac


    Skills, Technique, Timing, Footwork, Positioning and Defense = Vasyl.

    Both have good chins, imo pac`s angles are better. Both have good movement with vasyl taking an edge.

    They are similar in footwork in speed and balance, but stylistically I think there footwork has many differences. As someone mentioned previously, they both do that jump out to the right in combo with the straight left very similarly though.

    Lomachenko's footwork is unreal. His defensively responsible attack and his manipulation abilities are unparalleled. He is a puppet master.

    I didn't like Lomachenko literally running away to deal with the pressure of Piriyapinyo, that's not defence, that's called an unresolved issue that he hasn't solved. Salido would still provide Lomachenko some problems. I need to be proven wrong.

    But other than that, it was a complete masterful performance and he looked like Roy Jones Jr, and you really got to see boxing as an art form.

    I need to add that in the next performance, if Lomachenko chooses to showboat, he should showboat now with more poise. More Roy Jones-esque dominance, as what we saw was showboating that appeals to hardcore fans more so than casual fans (although still very entertaining).

    Pac and Loma throws soft punches on the opponents gloves then after that throws combo power punches ...then goes to the right while throwing lefts in an angle

    Pac hits harder than Lomo and is more offensively explosive, but he's not more athletic in my opinion.

    I can definitely see some similarities in their movements.

    Loma is much more skilled than PAC horrible comparison. The only thing loma needs to work on is his inside fighting ability other than that he's complete.

    I could agree with this.

    Vasyl is the future though. I'm impressed.

    Pac is one of the best athletes in the sport's history.

    Let's be realistic here.

    How am I being unrealistic? Pac has faster hands, foot speed and reflexes are on par.

    Pac is more explosive offensively. Lomo is much harder to hit flush.
