Lomachenko vs Verdejo , London 2012

You mad that I dont think his skills are sharp or refined? He misses punches by a country mile, flawed fighter he is

 

Not mad at all more dissapointed that you cant see his cup as half full it is what is can't change perspective nor would I try. If you know the fight game then you understand one of the basic fundamentals includes anticipation and one can see he was taught that from early on thus the reason why when he misses he misses big because of the follow through like betting the draw he will learn to bottle it and deliver. He technique is text book not sure why you think otherwise

 

I noticed they put too much pressure (PR) on him to knock out people he got the tools I think he needs a top trainer like Roach to develop his confidence.

 

Im Puerto Rican and am really excited about VErdejo being the next great one but right now Loma takes him apart. Too much a skill and experience gap right now. Felix is a little bigger but Loma is on another level skill wise.

 

Excited for Verdejo's future. Missed alot of big shots but you can tell he has a foundation for success. Mistakes will get bottled up over time.

 

The key is in the legs. Just like Manny Pacquiao, Vasyl is alway in better position than his opponents. That is the best way to be able to hit with max power. It also takes power away from the opponent.

Another thing he does good, but not nearly as great as Floyd is the switching from defense to offense. Floyd is the master of that trade and is thanks to the pad drills he does with Roger. Floyd block, hit move, hit, block, hit. The transition takes less than a second. Saying it is easy. But many boxers can't throw when they are blocking. Transition takes them between 1-2 seconds while Floyd does it in less than a second because he doesn't have to think about it. The drills have cause muscle memory. For Floyd is like a reflex.
