    Vasyl Lomachenko's weakness: lacking / limited defence and footwork?

    As exposed against Orlando Salido, his atrocious footwork and defence was exposed to be exactly that, horrendous.

    He showed no defensive skills other than his one dimensional excessive clinching. In other words, his defence is severely limited and one dimensional. Particularly against boxers who are pressure fighters stylistically and have some of the best punch resistance in boxing like Orlando Salido.

    Against Orlando Salido, Lomachenko failed to use his footwork to evade Orlando Salido like how the great Manny Pacquiao was able to against the much bigger and better Antonio Margarito. In other words, exposing how one dimensional, limited and overrated Lomachenko's foot work is. Particularly against such type of opponents.

    Against Orlando Salido, Lomachenko also failed to use other defensive moves outside of offootwork. Such as blocking punches whilst standing skill, or rolling punches whilst standing still, or using head movement to evade punches whilst standing still. Like how Floyd Mayweather Jr was able to do against Canelo Alvarez whilst standing with his back against the ropes. At times, the much bigger and better Canelo Alvarez (compared to Lomachenko's god, master and his soul taker Orlando Salido) was unable to land any punches on Mayweather, despite throwing entire combinations.

    There isn't a boxer with more overrated footwork and defence in the history of this beautiful sport. Lomachenko is one dimensional and Salido proved just that. The only thing he was forced to resort to was clinching because he has no answers to such a type of opponent defensively. He doesn't have enough versatility in his repertoire to adjust / adapt to such an opponent outside of clinching. When he faces another boxer that is a pressure fighter stylistically with one of the best chins in boxing, he'll get exposed once again like the pathetic fraud that he is.

    Lomachenko is a stiff robot! He'll never be better than Pacquiao or Mayweather. Both have astronomically better footwork and defence and they didn't need shtty and crappy Ukrainian dance classes to achieve their abilities.

    Everything about Lomachenko is flashy and flamboyant. In reality, if one looks past those irrelevant flashiness and flamboyancy, the guy is nothing special and is less skilled than Mikey Garcia. Lomachenko really doesn't possess any special effect, just like how Golovkin doesn't.

      Compubox = unreliable!

      Best = effective.

      Lomachenko = flashy flamboyant with his footwork and defence.

      Effectiveness =/= flashiness / flamboyancy

      Manny Pacquiao's footwork and Floyd Mayweather Jr's footwork >>> Vasyl Lomachenko's

                  loma has speed, a decent punch, good footwork & gives angles coming from the southpaw stance. What loma can't beat is pressure, has average defense at best & I don't think he can't take a punch from a puncher. I think he can be stopped to the body.

                    You are correct, IN SOME ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE BEING A 2 TIME GOLD MEDALIST WITH SOME 400 WINS 1 LOSS GETTING HIT A FOOT BELOW THE WAIST REPEATEDLY BY A CHEATING, OVERWEIGHT BILLYGOAT IMPERSONATOR MEANS YOU HAVE HORRENDOUS DEFENSIVE SKILLS, you are correct. But in this universe, Lomachenko has the ability to avoid every punch if he wanted to. But to appease the clowns who call him a hype, he stands in the pocket and dodges punches like a prime Whitaker. His weakness, at least in the Salido fight, was what pretty much all the best amateur stars who go pro, struggle with, IN-FIGHTING. That’s why Duran beat Leonard, why Floyd struggled with Cotto, why Rigondeaux struggled with Cordoba. These guys are so used to boxing on the outside, they struggle in close quarters. In fighting is an art, boxing on the outside is an art, only seen a few special fighters who could do both well. Ray Robinson for 1, and Mike McCallum are the 2 i think of.
