Broner-Lomachenko

 

I really wish Lomachenko signed with an American promoter to make ******s like you feel stupid.
Doesn't have an x-factor? He has 350+ fights with only 1 loss that he avenged. Fighting with a PRO style. He regularly drops opponents with body shots, fights on the inside while being as slick as Whitaker and as aggressive as Tyson.
In all my years of boxing I've never seen a fighter as complete as Lomachenko, amateur or pro.
He's only 24 years old and is likely to win his second Olympic gold tonight.
He is a better, more dominant amateur than Rigondeaux ever was. I say that as a big fan of Rigo.

 

AIBA suck

 

Not trying to make any accusations but I have a feeling that his dad had a huge part in him signing with AIBA.

 

Khan fights like an Amateur. Lomachenko fights with a Pro style already.

If you can't see the difference you need to stop watching Boxing. Lomachenko will be fine in the Pro's.

 

I think Lomachenko will make a little bit of noise as a pro, but ultimately he'll end up like a Jason Litzau. White guys at that weight just don't do well in the long run.

 

Congratulations on being a racist moron. He's from the Ukraine, and he's been bashing the top fighters from Cuba, America, Mexico, Russia since he was a little kid.
You obviously have no idea who he is to compare him to Litzau.

 

He isn't. He's turning semi-pro and will likely never compete with actual pros in his weight range.

 

For a while now, I've been picking him to be the best fighter of this decade.

 

atsch

 

I didn't compare him to Litzau. I said his career will end up similar to Litzau's...he'll make a bit of noise, then fall off.

 

will be watching him closely

 

For one of the first times ever, I'm with you. Lomechenko is the full package, and unlike guys like Khan, Wilder and Guerrero (or even Andre Ward for that matter), he's never shown major vulnerability with his chin as an amateur.

 

Watch some videos and try to educate yourself :good
