Lomachenko's ceiling?

Not as high as most think. He will have a decent career though, don't think he is a particularly hard puncher either, will count against him as he moves up in weight. I feel the same way. Kind of like Gamboa

Looking forward to seeing how he does against Walters and Rigo. Gamboa would be another fun fight down the road. 3 great fights I guarantee we will not see anytime soon.

Kinda digging the sparring 2 guys at the same time Anyhow I would've liked to see him turn pro 4 years earlier instead of waiting to win another gold, then he probably could've grabbed a title at 122. As it is difficult to see him being effective much above FW, since he doesn't seem to have much power for a guy who cranks outs one arm pull ups.

Is Loma officially fighting on May 2?

The Sky's the limit for this Kid.

I think he will be a top 3 P4P fighter within 1-2 years, he's a special talent

Whoever wants a piece of him better do so now, because another year or two of experience might have Loma in contention for a top 5 spot on p4p lists and looking nearly unbeatable. All depends on how his ability to handle pressure develops.

Tremendously skilled guy but I honestly think that Walters could potentially wreck him. Also, he doesn't have much pop at this current weight class and it's going to even less effective as he moves up. Still, amazing skill level on this guy and that could very well overcompensate for a lack of power.

200+ is a probably exaggerated, but he makes 60 of them in this video (1:40), which is a lot : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fww195ODHB0 He finishes his two hour workout in the video by doing ten one arm pull-ups (2:28). The guy is a beast. That was nuts, thanks for the link.

too bad he's converted and so will never reach his full natural potential

He's the future of the sport.

Arum is putting him in against bums now, so my hopes for him are tempered.

apparently he can do like 200+ chin ups in one shot 200+ is a probably exaggerated, but he makes 60 of them in this video (1:40), which is a lot : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fww195ODHB0 He finishes his two hour workout in the video by doing ten one arm pull-ups (2:28). The guy is a beast.

If Adrien ****in' Broner can be a 3 division champion, you really think that Loma can't become one? Pacquiao is 5'6" by the way. We will see how Lomachenko handles the weight, but he is an extremely physically strong boxer, rarely I have seen a boxer with such strength in training. apparently he can do like 200+ chin ups in one shot

What's his fight night weight 138? I think he will peak at 140 and be a 4 division titlist.

I think he is a guy that could be a hall of famer...I would like to see him be more active though. twice a year isn't enough.

Let's calm down a moment here. We don't know how he fairs in the higher divisions. He's only like 5'7 so he will have a height disadvantage at these higher weights. And other than salido we haven't seen anyone get physical with him. If he fights a very aggressive physical fighter we don't know the outcome. Let him beat another titlist in this division, preferably soneobe who hasn't fought stiffs (like gary russel) and then we can judge. Walters seems like the perfect test for him. I dare say if leo Santa Cruz wants to stay at featherweight loma can beat him for sure If Adrien ****in' Broner can be a 3 division champion, you really think that Loma can't become one? Pacquiao is 5'6" by the way. We will see how Lomachenko handles the weight, but he is an extremely physically strong boxer, rarely I have seen a boxer with such strength in training.

Hall of famer- very likely Top 20 of 21st century- I would say it's slightly above 50% chance He constantly wants toughest fights Very dedicated Can move up the divisions You do need great adversaries to solidify your own greatness- he needs to fight rigo before rigo slows down

I think one weakness he has though, is a lack of an inside game. He's also not the hardest puncher.

Not as high as most think. He will have a decent career though, don't think he is a particularly hard puncher either, will count against him as he moves up in weight. I think his accuracy and footwork are what helps him stop opponents. He throws very good and accurate body shots and stopped a lot of guys in the ams that way. But at pro there are definite flaws
