    The Ukr is not great for a high ranked fighter.

    No he's not, Lomachenko has fought up to 64kg in the Ukraine. He was forced to choose between 56 and 60kg when they got rid of 57kg division, he chose 60kg and the reason why he stayed amateur is to grow into his body. You're an idiot if you think he doesn't come in at 60kg.

    He's not. He's probably the weakest fighter in our team on these games.
    I wish Khytrov was moving on instead of him.

    Smaller in height yes, even at 57kg he was shorter than a lot of his opponents. I think his slight style change has more to do with him getting ready for the pro ranks tbh.

    :patsch I know who he fought and why as i am following his career closely being actually his neighbor from Odessa :p
    And yes, Vasyl's father is not rushing his weight as he wants Vasya gain it slowly without losing shape or going pure muscle mass.

    The Ukranian finishes strong. Is it enough?

    Evans is putting in work. Lots of movement and punches in bunches.

    He'll have a full day tomorrow to rest before meeting Zamkovoy or Sapiyev, though. (unlike those who participated in the first batch of semis earlier :!:)

    :lol: What did i say 11-10. The first round 4-1 was bogus and sets up the inevitable win.

    + 1 i'v never been impressed with Taras
