3 division world championship in 11 fights!

I posted this elsewhere, but I feel the need to put this here also:

This whole narrative of giving Lomachenko extra credit for accomplishing all of these things within 12 fights is starting to get annoying. He turned pro at 25, after 397 amateur fights, and 7 WSB fights. I give him huge props for tieing the record for quickest to win a title in 3 fights. Wilfred Benitez winning a title at 17 is more impressive, however.

When do we stop acting like he's not very experienced already? He's like an NBA player who played in Europe for his whole career and then got drafted into the NBA at 25. If he wins rookie of the year, then huge props, but it's not the same as a kid coming out of highschool doing it.

It's kinda scaring me I really think Loma has chance to make it to top 30 p4p of all time!! If he truly does stay on the right path and on top he has chance imo to past Pacquiao if he does this right.

one thing i like about what Loma has done is that now some successful and good amateurs are following suit and are not fighting 20 poor opposition before stepping up, especially in the UK. They're obviously still not doing what Loma is doing, not even close but the likes of Joe Joyce fighting for a commonwealth in his 4th fight or Josh Kelly fighting Carlos Molina in his 6th fight.

As i say, they're in no way comparable to Loma but i hope we see more good amateurs move through the rankings quickly rather than treading water for 3 years fighting journeymen when they don't even need to.

He's on his way to taking the TBE title in under 12 fights impressive

Why be scared? Just enjoy a great boxer in his prime fighting quality opponents.

Ringo! It’s crazy how before that fight rigo was known as a unbeatable entity of boxing perfect and Loma had no chance but now he’s some obscure bum they want to forget about after having him on their p4p list for years. Seems like a trend with every Loma opp..

The names are definitely piling up which is a sure sign of a star in the making. Loma will go very far!
