Val Baker Trophy winner.:

-Gold @ Featherweight @ 2008 Beijing Games
-Gold @ the 2009 world amateur championships.
-Gold @ the 2011 world amateur championships.

He is already considered one of the greatest amateurs of all time.

This guy tore the beijing games up, and has a very pro style to boot...This kid is special.

[NEETzsche]

isn't he quite small? i don't see too much weight climbing in his future.

He'll get PWN'T by the 1st slick African-American he comes across.

Yes he must be ****ing himself at the zab judahs of this world!

Heres a slick african american for you:



Rau'shee Warren competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics
(when lomachenko won gold) Warren lost in the first round lol.

Your current #1 rated lightweight is Jose Ramírez. He is currently the number one rated amateur boxer at Lightweight in the U.S. Jose qualified to represent the United States at the 2012 Olympics by defeating 2008 Olympian Raynell Williams 21-16 in the finals of the 2012 United States Olympic Boxing Trials.

Lomachenko beat ramirez.

this will sound americocentric but i do not care


move to the united states


i've been hearing about this kid for a while now. if you want to be the best you can be you want to train, spar, and fight here. you want a promotor based over here.

we've seen the roadblocks that can come about if you start out in europe.


get him to the states and let him settle
get him in a major city with serious trainers and sparring

and top rank or goldenboy promotions most importantly

and no one else.


he's going to need a manager who has been with him for a while


the kid has a ton of talent, obviously. he's fast, powerful, confident, and he's got good skills. he looks very strong, but that's almost impossible to tell in amateur competitions where the rules against clinching are so strict.

he can make a great pro. he's not predestined to be a great pro. nobody is. but he can become one with the right people around him and obviously many years of hard work

the kid will fill out.

Finally!!!!!!!! can wait to see this guy in the pro game, I know the pros are different but if he can develop the same way he did in the amateurs then we would have an amazing fighter on our hands.

I agree man, they should get him to US asap...But I think the kid wont go, he is building a house in his hometown just now, and it looks like he is all for staying around home which can ruin him...

Eh we'll see.....its really a mystery with this guy at pro...

I don't think vasyl would look favourably on the idea of americanisation!

He'l do fine without you.

he will probably turn out to be another hometown hero like senchenko.

and tbh till he goes pro and fights a live opponant i dont really care for amateurs, alot get exposed in the pro game anyway, even the standout ones.
