Grade a fighter day 16: What grade do you give Vasyl Lomachenko?

[TernceBudCharlo]

I give him a C-

He has no great victories. His best win is an undersized Rigo.

Gary Russell isn't an elite fighter, but he is a very good fighter. You cannot deny that. And he beat him pretty easily. Good wins are a combination of WHO you beat and HOW you beat them. Not just one or the other.

C+. And that's me being generous. I'm a nice guy. There's the lost to Salido and the fact that a young, inexperienced like Teo had him on the backfoot. His best is Linares(?). Can't justify going any higher than a C+ with his paper thin resume.

C+ is very generous. He doesn't even have a Chop Chop in his resume.

He broke his soul gradually over those 6-7 rounds. You could see it in Kovalev's face. When he landed that straight right in that round, it was the beginning of the end and you could se the fight was over.

The right hand from Ward was excellent. Kovalev wasn’t in a great condition, but he was still in the fight.

None of this changes the fact that Kovalev was lowblowed throughout the fight on several occasions, and the fight was stopped on a brutal flurry of low blow uppercuts.

Gary was also undersized. I expected more from Loma. That's just my opinion though.

I can respect your consistence with the standards. I just think Lomachenko has done enough to deserve a B+. I won't give him an A though because he doesn't have that signature dominating win against an elite fighter.

An A for me the only thing he dosent posses is real knock out power !

[Apollo7]

A. Amazing amateur career, multiple division world champion, great skills. Those losses though. Has shown he can really box but when the going gets tough hasn't been able to grind out the win.

Looks like the voting is pretty clear in this one.
