Is this the best boxer in the olympics?

Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko has been considered one of the best amateur boxers around for some time, but just couldn't get past Russian arch-rival Alexey Tishchenko,

Tishchenko moved up to 60kg this year, & Lomachenko has gone from strength to strength since.

Here he is in the gold medal bout against tough french boxer/brawler Khedafi Djelkhir.

Lomachenko is the southpaw in the red, Djelkhir is the aggressive brawler in the blue.

Thanks for the video!

Blue was wide open to a liver punch from the first time he got buzzed.

[Banderivets]

He's very good. Ive seen a couple of his fights. Very fast, technical, has some pop.

He said that hes not sure if he will fight in London, so I think its clear he wants to turn pro.

An unusual style for a European and a Ukrainian at that, very fluid, moves very well. Great boxer, he did whatever he wanted, ****y little bastard too, the kid is only 20.

He's ****ing awesome, the best boxer I have seen at the Olympics this year. Completely destroyed that guy.

Whats the guys name. The one in red, he's got skills

[Ryn0]

He looked great along with a guy called Degale (I don't which nationality he is) but he beat an Irishman then a Cuban to win middleweight gold.

[kayjay]

He struggled with a Russian earlier, but this performance here was spectacular

Hell yea he deserves it, im so happy he won

Vasyl Lomachenko, that's his gold medal match

De Gale is British


And I can't believe he broke the French guy like that, he traded those kinds of shots with the Mexican featherweight all day and persisted but when Vasyl got his shots in Khedalfi started to run, there's something special about this guy.

Read. The. Post.



I saw this guy's first round matches and thought that he looked exceptional. Couldnt find him since then, but assumed that he'd won gold. I'd be interested to see how his chin holds up if he turns pro, because his skill-set is incredible.
