What do you think of Vasyl Lomachenko?

[The Hammer]

To me, he's clearly one of the most exciting young fighter to come along in awhile.

He's a very aggressive pressure fighter, yet he bocks punches and moves his head so well he rarely gets hit. I'm very impressed with his speed and athleticism.

Here's the NBC report on todays fights, including Lomachenko's lastest win:

Lomachenko is easily the best p4p fighter in the Olympics, he will win the gold medal for sure.

True, you should keep an eye on Oleksandr Usyk though. Very promising young fella.

I've seen Lomachenko but not Usyk.

However, I do have to say that Lomachenko looks much better then many of the top pros in that weight area.
Does not fall off balance(well, almost never), very fast with his hands and on his feet and very tight defensively. He makes defense look very good without cute stuff like shoulder roll.
Reminds me of a smaller, more defensive Leonard.

I'm hoping he'll turn pro after the games.

Lomachenko wins gold with a first round TKO.

What a performance!

Lomachenko to me is the best boxer of the tournment, it'll be interesting to see how he does as a pro.
