    would love to see that fight
    Id buy tickets straight away
    would be great to see a brilliant talent like Lomachenko up close
    I wanna see the best fighters in the world come to the UK

    who knows it might happne, Selby is a good fighter

    Lomachenko no doubt schools him, but it might take him a few rounds to work out selbys awkward style

    Top rank won't send there best prospect to the UK after some of the jokes of decisions like Froch v Groves, Scott v Chisora and Burns v Beltran. In my opinion the only way we can get people over is that if the UK fighter goes to the USA first and get's a belt or if they have an absolute beast who's a big puncher like in the case when they had Kovalev and they new he was going to absolutely batter Cleverly. I think that Selby is good, but after seeing Lomachenko's 1st fight he looks like he would batter Selby. Me being a big Selby fan though I hope he Unify s the division ha.

    Lomachenko is a huge draw already as the fact that he fightin for a title in his second figh tells you he is going to be a big star in the states so no chance of him cOming here

    It wouldn't go 6 rounds it would be like Quigg or Frampton fighting Rigondeaux

    Loma will be a top 3 P4P fighter. He would smash Selby to pieces.

    Lomachenko won't be at featherweight too long. More chance of him fighting a Brit like Burns or Khan when he's moving through the weights and if either are World Champions at the time. We have no one in the uk who could give a lomachenko a good fight. He is stylistically wrong for Khan and he is probably the best technically that we have..

    I do agree with the original poster if he ever fights in the uk I will be buying tickets. He's the future p4p king.
