Haven't seen these asked in interviews yet maybe i missed them?

I've been wanting to see if he talks about how many rounds he's gone in the gym. He said he started training soon after his pro debut and i'm wondering if he went a lot of rounds in sparring before the proper training for this fight started to see what it's generally like.

Also has he or his team said anywhere if he's going to plant himself down every now and again and try to take Salido out early or if he's going to move and stay away and keep the fight at a distance?

I can't remember which video it was (an ES video) but he said he's changing nothing. He said he can easily go the rounds in sparring but a fight is different. As usual Loma was laughing and appeared unconcerned. In a recent video Egas said that they expect Salido to try to take it into the later rounds, but that they're focused on what Vasyl will do, not what Salido will do. He's an adaptable and intelligent fighter, he'll do what the situation calls for.

In this video he says he's preparing for 12 rounds


This is a funny video with everyone joking around, talking about his father and we can see he's making the effort to learn English. He also talks about emulating Tyson and Jones when he was a kid.


Talking about his competitive nature and his desire to be great

Yeah those were the ones i've seen, glad Ellie is giving us these vids wish he had some better questions than the usual ones though.

I haven't heard him talk about strategy like that but boxing off the back foot more like he did in the WSB Selimov rubbermatch would be a good idea. He's been sparring for 15 rounds since before he turned pro and has insane endurance. I know a pro fight is different than regular endurance but just fyi.

need more training videos
This is a HL of the 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team training camp but Anatoliy Lomachenko was made a coach for the team so all the training methods come from him and are what Vasyl does. CW phenom Usyk, LHW Gvozdyk who just signed with Top Rank, MW prospect Khytrov and JMW prospect Shelestyuk can all be seen along with Berinchyk.

In the future that Ukrainian team will be looked back at as being incredible, probably even greater than the 84 US team or the 04 Cuban team.

'76 team fought the Russians and Cubans. Only Howard Davis Jr was actually favored to win Gold going in and they came out with five. Unsurprisingly two of the absolute best professional boxers ever were in tow. You'd rarely see either of them ranked any worse than Top 3 All-Time in their respective divisions H2H and they've got equal shouts there for greatness, for damn good reason. Though Mike campaigned at middleweight as an amateur.

Uganda could've been special, but would you really bet on Kalule beating Ray Leonard?

As an amateur, yes!
