Lomachenko vs. Broner

Henry Tillman beat Tyson in the amatuers. Tyson destroyed Tillman in the pros.

 

Lomachenko fights at 130lbs and could probably make 126 as a pro easily. Broner is already at 140 and probably be at 147 for good within a year or two.

 

Broner doesn't fight threats & will manage to avoid him so it doesn't really matter,he's rather face feather fisted paulie.If they ever do fight Vasyl shows him to really box.

 

At the moment, though the WSB is showing us a good image of what Lomachenko will be like when he turns pro, there are still some questions that need to be answered which can only be answered when he is full pro. I believe he will go right to the top, his talent is unreal, but it's difficult to be 100% certain at this stage.

If as expected he fights Selimov this week in the WSB, I think that will be the first fight he's had which gives us a good indication of how far Lomachenko can go as a pro.

 

Is he improving? Rees was an ordinary opponent who had no problem finding Broner, and PDL could have easily got that decision. I'm a fan of Broner but I don't think he's an elite Mayweather sort of fighter, or ever will be. I think Gamboa would beat him without too much trouble. Broner is still unproven imo.

 

Going to be a great fight :good

 

Broner has been at 135 and 130 for all his fights so far and is the same height as Lomachenko. I think it's strange that Broner is considered big for the divisions he's been fighting in and yet Lomachenko is considered small/short for his weight class.

 

Without doubt, can't wait for it, this is for me the most I've looked forward to a fight so far this year, great contest

 

Its called cutting weight and one guy cuts alot while the other probably doesn't cut any.

 

I understand that but it's the wrong way round, obviously you don't/can't cut as much in the amateurs. Lomachenko fights at a lighter weight, with less cutting of weight, same height as Broner and yet Lomachenko is considered short for his weight division?

 

Guys, do you really belive Lomachenko can beat guy like Donaire?

 

He's much bigger than Donaire, so without doubt i think he could beat him.

Someone like Broner, well it's difficult to be certain, do I think he has the boxing skills that its at the very least feasible? For sure yes.

His ability is there for all to see, yes we need to see how his chin stands up to the pro ranks, and how his stamina is over 12 rounds. Personally I don't think it will be an issue, but it is reasonable to assume it could be. His technical ability, and all round boxing skill though is beyond doubt.

He has a very pro style already, unlike the only amatuer that's turned pro in the last 25 years and was at his level IMO in the ams ranks, Rigondeaux, who style is more amatuer like.

Lomachenko is not the sort of fighter who comes along all the time, this kid is ultra special. There is no absolute guarantees, because the pro game is different, but he has the potential to go all the way, going to be very interesting watching his progress.

As i said in my previous post he should be fighting under pro rules Albert Selimov next Saturday, who is the only fighter ever to beat him and someone who could be a quality pro fighter himself, if he switched over. That fight should tell us a bit more of where he's at at present and give some indication of whether he's being overhyped at the moment.

 

Damn the trolls have gotten stupider. Comparing a guy who hasn't even turned pro to a legit champion. **** the amateurs and the olympics, professional boxing is where it's at and its where the best of the best show how good they really are.
