To answer your Q from the other thread seems like 135 is where he'll turn pro at. Here's a thread from the Euro lounge with some info on him from articles i read. [url]http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=160704&page=2&highlight=lomachenko[/url]
When Olympics come offers always rocket due to the exponentially increased attention amateurs are getting, but you're right, he's already known as the guy to sign. Still, if Vasyl plays it smart, he can vastly improve his position at the table, just needs to impress in the ring and let the promoters outbid each other when the demand is at it's peak. But I feel their choice will be from a career not $ standpoint, which is excellent.
Thanks, Vysotsky! I am a bit worried about the hand troubles, however. Have you heard anything relevant about the injuries lately? Cheers!
I haven't heard anything, bro. I'll update if I do, however. I think the kid is boxing's next superstar.
I agree, bro. His handspeed is comparable to Khan's, but he is a superior tactician with much better footwork in my opinion. I am looking forward to seeing how his punching power develops with age and his graudation from the amatuer ranks.
