Comments Thread For: Vasyl Lomachenko's Continues Historically Unprecedented Run

[A.K]

HBO already pushing to cancel the "Big Drama Show". They are pushing Loma in the same direction they did Packy & Gee towards the casuals by giving dude super powers. (They are even re-using old "Juiced" Manny lines about footwork)

Yeah that lomachenko guy has no footwork

Rigo is way too small now Loma is at 130. Even at 126 it would have been a huge ask weight wise.

Rigo. moves up 4 & loma moves down 4. Rigo needs a shot somewhere cuz he has been getting played out after he beat nonito. All arums fault too....If Rigo. wants it then it should go down.

He should start with Guillermo Rigondeaux. If he wins then he can go to Mickey Garcia.

That fight will never happen. When Lom was a featherweight, there was talk of him going even lower than featherweight for a catchweight and those discussions fell through. And now that he is a junior lightweight soon going to Lightweight, Rigo cant follow him up and he cant drop that much weight to go back down. It's a fight that wasnt meant to be though it would have been a spectacle.

I saw a little spot on HBO:2 Days- Portrait of a Fighter on Lomachenko. It talked about how his father started him boxing at I believe 6 years old. He then pulled him out of boxing at 8 and put him into dancing. After Vasyl became accomplished at that, his father told him now that he had mastered footwork, it was time to go back to boxing. Brilliant strategy.

That was an excellent little program.

^^^Very Cool^^^

Footwork is so hard to learn and teach. Some men are born/blessed with fast twitch muscles but lack rhythm. I can see how dance covers both.

If the 130 lb champs will not fight Loma then take their fricking belts away and give them to the Russian.

Loma ain't no Russian, mate.

This shlt is definitely unprecedented. A mother ****ing hype job loses to a guy with 10 losses then gets a couple wins after that, now all of a sudden he's greater than mayweather and Whitaker combined. This shlt is ridiculous.

Absolutely genius strategy, I believe alongside dancing he did ballet, which enables a person to have supreme balance as well. His balance is a key component of his abilities that allows him so effortlessly to pivot in and around his opponents; setting himself up to unleash his arsenal.

He truly is an elite specimen with all the tools necessary to cracking into the upper echelons of boxing.

He's really incredible and if his talent and performances don't impress you, well you are either blinded by bias and hatred (you probably also hate GGG, Kovalev etc or should stop watching the sport as you don't know what you are looking for.

He is the total package and getting better fight by fight. He doesn't have to be the g.o.a.t to recognize that or be a 10-weight champion already or "unbeaten". Just watch his fights and enjoy his talent. It's rare.

On top of that he's not scared to challenge himself. From the jump he wasn't interested in tuneup's. Just champions. That really should get more praise than it does, yet I still see "he's ducking this guy" or "he will duck this guy".
