Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I See Nothing Special in Rodriguez

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A fighter with a record of 3-1 would normally be called a prospect.

That would not be the case with Vasyl Lomachenko.

The Ukraine-born fighter would likely have beat most fighters in his weight class - as an amateur. In his their pro fight, Lomachenko won a world title belt.

So what is there left to prove? To fight the best fighters in his weight class.

Lomachenko will defend his WBO World featherweight title against Gamaliel Rodriguez on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nev. The bout will open the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao pay-per-view telecast, beginning at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT.

Lomo sees nothing special...

..and that is exactly why they picked him, so Lomo can look good.

it's merely a a showcase for loma

Loma needs this showcase. To build that brand and his last one armed performance was exquisite. But at least he isn't fighting a cab driver like LSC is...mt bad the guy sells insurance and doesn't even look in that good of shape. I want to see rigo fight someone but too bad genius Bob dropped him. Rigo needs a showcase, wait he already had one and dominated donaire.

be carefull Gamalier is almost like Salido !maybe we have a surprise!

[frantic fighter]

Rodriguez doesn't see anything special in Rodriguez.

No it's not. Everyone was complaining about the higher rated guys getting passed over when Lomachenko got his title shot so those same people should be salivating at this fight. Rodriguez who was rated higher now has a chance to beat down the subpar amateur who disrespected him.
