Lomachenko is in trouble here. Not only is he going from 3-4 rounders to a 12 rounder, he's also facing a guy that just can't be put away and keeps a constant pace.

I think so too, but props to him for trying. I also get where your dislike for him comes from.

I don't really dislike him tbh. Like OP said, only reason I said he wasn't impressive is cause I was going by his fans' standards. They were making him to be one thing and he gave us another. No doubt it was a good win for a debut fight tho.

This is the same reason why I said he wasn't impressive and people got butthurt as ****. Their reply was "Its his pro debut!"

Ok but didn't they say he was ready for the pros and make him out to be some type of P4P fighter?

Exactly, they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. If Lomachenko is truly special and the future P4P #1 then he should have looked amazing, not just "good for a pro debut".

I think some people are actively looking for flaws in Loma owing to the hype.

But, you could isolate certain parts of any top 10 PFP's boxer's fights and find similar "flaws". Nobody is perfect.

I don't expect perfection, I'm just saying I'm not impressed and I explain why. He could turn out to be a great fighter, who knows? Many all time greats showed a lot of flaws early in their career.

I hate to say I told you so...

But I give him credit for the last round and the way he carried himself during and after the fight.

Great call and nice break down

Every time he opened up he got hit, and hit hard. He has no inside fighting ability, which is why he illegally held/pushed off the entire fight.

Glad I am not the only one who wasn't overly impressed with him.

Defense consists of an earmuff guard with a three way twist, he did the same thing all night.

No real snap on his shots, hes not a crisp puncher in my eyes.

People go on he won medals and a Val Barker trophy all day long but I am not seeing what I'd expect really from a guy with such experience and amateur credentials.

His defense and flawed punching technique is similar to Amir Khans.

Hes a very good prospect but hes far from the finished article and people need to drop this Rigondeaux superfight talk because Rigo would eat him alive. Let him mature and come into his own. The worst thing you can do is push him to fast.

More proof that fans of RiGODeaux are the only people here who understand the sport.

I second that, great call!

People should have listened instead of making excuses for Lomachenko. Sure he has all that amateur experience but people forget something big, pro fighting is a totally different game. For all that experience he has in the amateurs, that means he has to unlearn somethings he became used to doing and that takes a decent amount of rounds.

How he was being moved people should have saw the issues.


Still he can be a very good fighter he just needs to gain a true pro style. He was competitive with a solid pro with a garbage style, so i do want to see where he takes things from here.
