Comments Thread For: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jose Ramirez in Talks for Oct. 12?

[Mikhnienko]

Damn it, I thought it was the US Olympian Jose Ramirez. Thought Arum was losing his mind.

That Ramirez fights at 140lbs

I think that this Ramirez is a risky fight for Lomachenko for his first pro bout. he shoulf take a reasonably good journryman for his first fight to see how he ttanslatea his skills to the pro game.

Why ?

He's fought under pro rules in the WSB against really good fighters. What's the point in going from that to a 4 or 6 rounder against a reasonably good journey man ?

He's ready for top contenders over 8 & 10 rounds.

Is he as good a prospect as say rigo or mikey garcia,,, I see those guys fighting one day in the future, especially if lomachenko wins a featherweight title in 2nd fight,,,
Lomo-donaire has a nice ring to it.....

Can't wait till OCt 12th to see his debut. I remember Rigods debut on FNF and the build up was sensational

WAR LOMACHENKO... but isnt this tough for a first pro fight, 10 rounds and against a guy who is 25-3

extremely......

I'm looking at their 2011 Baku world amateur contest, and if you go by the pro standards of judging it looked like Lomochenko was getting Salidoe back then by Jose Ramirez : check out rounds 2-3.
