Lol "lomachenko route" does sound good. Have u heard of this guy Dean_Razorback ?

[Andre_parker1]

"23-2" prolly just bottom feeders

[Steven Mccowan]

Sounds like another new truly hungry fighter. So happythis new generation seems to be willing to take on challenges

Damn, never heard of Melian but I remember the other dude getting a title shot against Yamanaka a few years back, ambitious to say the least

yes. one of the best amateurs from my country imo, but unfortunately he has no chin

very skilled (not even close to lomachenko though)

Really? Has he been stopped in the amateurs or something?

yes, in the last olympics for example

Lewkowicz says that Melian's amateur credentials are enough to let him forego the usual development period of a new professional.

that is absolute rubbish

Lewkowicz should know better

and btw, Lomachenko LOST when they took that route

cutting corners, taking shortcuts = amateur as fk

that decision smacks of chasing quick money

you do not break " givens " in boxing

I wish the kid well, but he is not being given every possible chance to succeed..... they should have him fighting every month against a steady progression of experience/style..... just like everyone else

what weight did he fight in the am's Dean ?
