    Lomachenko should retire now

    Vasyl Lomachenko is a great athlete who we have been fortunate enough to witness throughout his boxing career.

    During his prime, he brought us many electric moments that will never be forgotten. From the tremendous technique he displayed during his amateur days to his pro bouts that gained him worldwide recognition, he is an athlete worth admiring.

    However, he has been unable to transfer this great skill to the biggest fights in his career.

    Tonight, Lomachenko lost to Devin Haney, making it his third career loss.

    It is clear now that Lomachenko has arrived at the point of his career where it's best for him to call it quits. He has been great, but not elite enough to ascend the top echelon.

    Now, Father Time has caught up with him, and Father Time is always undefeated.

    Lomachenko has given us many thrilling memories, and it is now time for him to retire and to be remembered with admiration.

    I hope he hangs 'em up as well. At 135 he'll have to grind out wins (or more losses) and take a lot of punishment, and a move back to 130 will feel like a defeat unto itself.

      I agree he should go, because he will never get a fair shake. This was his last top level performance and he got fu cked by American judges. Joke

        He’s 17-3. He should have stayed at 130 and cleaned up there, but he chased the money.

          Lomachenko was/is elite enough to be in the top echelon as many dare I say majority saw him winning this fight tonight, albeit not enough for it to be a highway robbery. Regardless your bottom line is correct, at 35 he is only going to slow down, and if he was unable to clearly defeat Haney, I ponder what other fighters he would be able to, perhaps Tank? In anycase, he might have one more great fight left in him against a great fighter, and after that he should call it quits.

                He should retire. I'm sick of his excuses every time he loses. Been hearing about this **** for nearly a decade now......

                  He's still very capable of beating every 135lbs boxer but not haney so i say he shouldn't retire.
