I think Loma probably loses his edge when his legs go around 32-33, so he has 5-6 years to create his legacy. Arum needs to keep him active against the best names.
He does his own thing like all the best do. The biggest flaw he needs to work on right now is that he switches his offensive off when the other guy is pressing hard like Broner does those where the only times that GRJ wasn't getting his ass beat during the fight XD.
Loma is going to be a force, people forget that despite two gold medals is that hes only 26 years old. Plenty of time to perfect his skills.
In three years Lomachenko could possibly be in the top 5 P4P

He is very good and highly skilled but his style seems unique and he doesn't remind me of anyone else. He is a damn good all around fighter with high marks for speed, defense, accurate combination punching and great body punching. He had to be good to beat Russell so convincingly. He also stays calm under pressure.
In moments his stance and some of his punches reminded me of Victor Ortiz... Just better in every way. Anyone know if he's a right-handed southpaw?
Same. His movements remind me of Ortiz. I think he is a natural righty. I don't see pacquiao. He does not throw that lethal jab straight that pac does.
Its the footspeed that really sets Lomachenko apart, that high-rate, in-out movement.
I've never seen anything like it, or any boxer with that ability throughout the 12 rounds.
Very Roberto Duranish when he comes forward because of the head movement, and quick hands, plus the body shots, but nowhere near his power.
Yes, pretty similar to LW Duran. Specially the way he turns and pivots while punching on the inside.
He seems to have his own style, I can understand why you said Pacquiao.. dude is serious when he throws. He is very good when he lets his hands go, there was a few rounds where he was a bit more idle and I was afraid of those rounds being given to Russell.
