    He's still a young man fighting people his size, let's see how his style develops when he later moves up and fights people that will be 15 lbs heavier than him on fight night.

      Thanks for the insight, lomachenko

      uh, he's not the first. Floyd, Maidana, Kovalev, Roman, all recent fighters who do the same.

          It's called balance. Too many fans see a fighter who's good at one thing and think he's 'great'. You don't need to be offensively and defensively brilliant to be effective, but the true greats have both sides to their game.

            Earl, is the only way you can acknowledge or appreciate boxing skill is by highlighting a white boxer? Loma isn't doing anything different than Ray, Roy or Floyd did when they were his age.
