Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Jabs Olympic Judges, Eyes a Pro Run

[-PBP-]

lol if he thinks the amateur judges were bad, just wait until he encounters the corrupt pro judges.

Word. But at least in the pros you get credit for knockdowns and have a better chance of scoring a KO.

For a fighter that won by a wide margin as consistently as he did... imagine what the other fighters in the Olympics must have thought.

Lomachenko won't have an issue with professional judging because he's solid in all the areas of the judging criteria and he's especially strong at the most important (but overlooked by fans) aspect of criteria, ring generalship. The kid always looks as if he's in control.

If he did something stupid like sign with AIBA for some **** league, he's ****ed though. AIBA would **** him and the others worse than the UFC does to their fighters.

sick cant wait to see this guy pro

Lomachenko is going to do great as a Pro. He is going to beat some of the guys who are at the top now. He has all the tools, everything. Unlike some Olympic matches, he was fun to watch.

lomachenko will never beat petrauskas , bronze medalist who was robbed against korean boxer bc aiba vice-president is korean . and he will always be sucker for yuriorkis gamboa .

Tostao's hate has his brain tostao

[Earl-Hickey]

isn't he going to sign for that mickey mouse AIBA pro league though?

[richardt]

and he will always be sucker for yuriorkis gamboa .

What the hell does any of this have to do with Gamboa whose career is in the toilet right now????

[Khmelnytsky]

he will always be sucker for yuriorkis gamboa .

Gamboa's big advantage over most opponents is his athleticism and speed he isn't a very good boxer from a technical standpoint much like Ali or RJJ but they get away with it due to their athleticism.

Against Lomachenko he wouldn't have that advantage and Vasyl is a better boxer in almost every area. Punching technique, combinations, counter punching id say Lomachenko is better but the biggest advantages for Vasyl is with his defense, head movement, footwork, balance and use of angles.

Everybody thinks that except the brits

Please leave AIBA tho!

I thought the judging was a joke, but thats what happens when you have international judges from so many different countries, it's a mixed bag and a gamble.

If Lomachenko doesnt turn pro, he is a complete joke and a waste of talent
