How well known is he in Britain, you think he would sell out? Against Flanagan they would definitely sell out the Manchester arena. The media guys here all rave about him, he's already pretty well known purely on how highly regarded he is and that will only increase in the build up against a British fighter with a world title. Would be a nice platform for him to put on a show.

He's coming to Britain to get his belt! That's what I wanted to hear. How well known is he in Britain, you think he would sell out?

His English is pretty good. He does interviews away from the ring in English, just not comfortable enough yet for televised stuff. yeah i've seen that in his youtube interviews, he's definitely coming on well in that respect of building an out of ring profile, helping it with the showmanship too.

I'm glad he's willing to have a bit of fun in the ring. The next thing will definitely be getting his english locked down so that interviews dont need to go through translators, I know that any eastern euro/russian speaking has a subliminal uncomfortable effect in the US thanks to many a decade of vilification His English is pretty good. He does interviews away from the ring in English, just not comfortable enough yet for televised stuff.

Loma should change his nickname from hi tech to ''heartbreaker''. Fighting him just breaks your heart. How annoying must it be not even to be able to get near him? The man is a magician.

I enjoyed Loma's fight more once I turned the volume off.

Would love to see Lomachenko vs Garcia, but want to see both guys handle some other business first...

I always love that move and he's the only one I ever see using it. Excellent! He learnt it from Robert Garcia's Gym. Fernando Vargas used to do it, Mikey does it too.
