    I thought the Russian won this match more convincing than the score. Kaz kid could of held his ground a few time planted his feet and got a significant blow more times than he did.

      a good looking russian/ukranian kid? they could have made him a huge draw in queens

      there are tons of russians, etc in NY. they make good cash and they support their own. lomachenko could be an HBO fighter, too.


      hell, if he signed with K2... they could change the damn landscape over in germany
      dude is a obvious dumbazz.The fact that he didnt go pro after
      winning the first gold is dumb.He could of already maybe beat
      gamboa,lopez,broner azz already.

        Who you calling dumbass?

        He was 20 after he won his first gold medal, the decision to stay amateur and win another gold medal was perfectly suitable for someone that age. At 24 he's in the best position to turn proffesional, 2 gold medals behind him and he's in his prime. Could be fighting for a world title by the time he's 26.

        The way I see it, turn professional with a proper promotional outfit or just stay amateur.

          His main mission in life must not be about money. He obviously values olympic success more then anything else

          Plus he is going pro

                  I made a post in my Santa Cruz thread a few weeks ago but I cannot remember what I put myself.



                  I'll go bump it up but I think the IBF ordered a fight.

                      if he's doing what he wants to do and remaining comfortable then i cant tell him to do otherwise.


                      however, waiting for the next olympics (when he'll be 28,) is not going to bode well for his professional prospects. i dont just mean the sport of pro boxing, either, i'm talking about the money he can make. he'll be in the aiba league, but he'll be spending the prime of his career, as a small man who peaks early, as an amateur.

                      he'd probably sign a contract with a big promotor with a six or seven figure signing bonus, and fight for few years off of TV making smaller money, but eventually he'd start fighting on the big networks and making six figures.

                      he'd need to fight at least at LW, unless there were other great FW to match him with (mexicans, philipinos, guys who draw. lomachenko vs donaire, etc.) that's where the money is.

                      he's way too small to be a WW, by the look of things. that's where many of the biggest fights have been happening for a decade now.


                      it is hard to see him becoming a massive star. perhaps you're right. but if he made it here in the states he'd make many times what he can make overseas.
