Wtf are you guys talking about. The man speaks with respect all the time. Never comes off brash and overconfident, only wants to push himself. His response when asked about rigondeaux and salido-cruz shows his maturity level as well as respect for the sport. And regardless if he wins or loses the guy is special period. 400 fights and 1 loss? Incredible accolades? The guy is special period. Just like Rigondeaux. Win lose or draw these guys are special and nothing can take what theyve earned and accomplished away from them. The only ones that are exposed with all this "exposed and hype train" talk are you couch bandits who swear you know the game yet the blatant disrespect shown to all fighters as exposed or hype shows you guys are bandwagoners who go with the trend like fyckin herbs. No true respect for the sport.
there is a lot of hype surrounding him. he even acknowledges that. already talking about him in a fight with rigondeaux? a bit much. some fans jump the gun too far with these things and its only right they are called out on it, even if its by the fighter himself. no fighter wants to get put under unnecessary pressure and expectations esp when they havent even fought as a genuine pro yet.
I'm really excited to see how Vasyl fares in the pros and it is ridiculous for people to call him a hype job but I've seen some comments on youtube like "he's going to destroy Rigo" which for me are equally stupid
This guy may very well be the real deal. I remember seeing him at the 2008 olympic games and thinking "wow, this guy could go far as a pro". Then I looked him up and saw how young he was (20 at the time). He should have turned pro sooner imo but it's still not late. I do hope he will be brought along faster than the usual prospect. Fighting a 25-3 guy in a 10 rounder in his pro debut is a very good sign :).
I really want him to do good, I for one greatly admire gold medalist boxers. However, if he attains any hate or gets labeled a "hypejob" it'll be because he develops an annoying fanbase that will be calling him the GOAT after a few good wins. See Pacquiao and Matthysse fans for reference.
I'm definitely a fan, he's going to end Rigo's career.
he hasnt even turned pro and they're already hating him :lol1:
Comments like that make him sound like just another hype job, and ofc Uncle bob who is the one feeding this fools the horsesh*t but the guy is in no way hyping himself up nobody saying that they don't know sh*t if they are. Even he himself told people to slow they're fking roll bringing Rigondeaux up before he even fights his first fight

To be fair, that doesn't mean that he can't be overhyped.
Never seen anybody call him a "Hype Job" he is just getting started as a Pro how is he a "Hype Job" already?
Sure the expectations are extremely high because of his Amateur Success and I think Arum talking about a fight with him and Rigondeaux in 2014 is just fukin STUPID at least let him get 10-15 fights under his belt them step up his level of competition before even talking about Rigondeaux
I'm definitely a fan, he's going to end Rigo's career.
I didnt know people were calling him a hype job.
he hasnt even turned pro and they're already hating him :lol1:
