Buffalo716 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Coming up within the next hour or so. IMO the best pound for pound boxer in the world. You can watch some serious skills when you see him dissect his opponents with offensive and defensive perfection This kids a technician Edited August 6, 2017 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I will be watching. I'm about to board a plane so assuming that the Wifi doesn't fail (although it did on the way up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Have you ever watched him?Yeah, I've only watched 1 or 2 of his pro fights but saw him a handful of times as an amateur. He's tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 That was a really impressive performance. Beat him ringpost to ringpost. 2 minutes in I thought man he can end this whenever he wants.. He needs better competition because he was toying with the poor guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs better competition because he was toying with the poor guy Yeah, he fought tomato cans. I used to be a big Andre Berto fan early in his career. I thought he was going to be great. He destroyed guys until he ended up fighting some real competition and then he became an average fighter. I don't think that's the case with Lomachenko. He's really special. It's tough to gauge how special until he fights the top guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I honestly wasn't impressed with him. He is definitely athletic and skilled don't get me wrong. I didn't care for all of the nonsense in there and I didn't see how his opponent got knocked out. The punches didn't seem to be landing clean and his power seemed very lacking. Espn of course is going to make it sound like it was spectacular. I just didnt see it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His skill, movement and hand speed is impressive. His power doesn't do much for me. I'd like to see him fight someone that will hit him back. I think that it will be hard to win many decisions against him as he's so active but what will happen when he gets hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are literally 10x better than the guy you are stepping into the ring against you try to get as much ring time as possible so you are better prepared for that 12 round war He coulda ended him round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I agree that his skills are impressive. Kirby and I agree, let's see him against a higher skilled opponent. I also wonder about his loss? Strange that a guy like him would lose a decision, even being a slow starter. Does anyone remember Prince Naseem Hamed? This guy reminds me of him. The Prince was everything Lamachenko is. When the Prince stepped up, he got cut to ribbons by Barrera. My gut tells me Lamachenko is mo re Hamed than Barrera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree I want to see him fight better competition. And his SD loss was a joke. He was lowblowed after lowblowed and a judge didn't take a point away. Which proved the difference. You said it yourself he likes to start slow, I don't think he will let it go to the judges anymore after his SDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
