How did he look just now? I fuckin' missed him. :-(

 

[Chatty]

It depends, it would be a high risk, high reward type situation. He looks like the real deal and the WSB will be a massive step in fast tracking him but if he weren't quite ready and lost, in todays wold of boxing he would lose a lot of credability and by that money (yep thats crazy but its true).

I think he could beat all Broner, Vasquez, Burns and Abril over six but not so sure over twelve.

What weight would you expect him to be fighting at?

 

[adamcanavan]

If he fought at super featherweight definitely, lightweight is a bit tougher and i'd prefer to see him have 1 or 2 10 rounders first

 

[rocky1]

From fighting 4 and 5 rounders to 12 rounds against a world Champ is a big jump, not saying he couldn't do it but it seems like a serious risk.

 

[adamcanavan]

I'm fairly confident he'd beat Roman Martinez

 

[Lunny]

I'd love to see it done. If it fails though he could fuck up his entire career.

 

[Rooq]

No need to take the risk. They might as well build him up and get the hype-machine going before challenging for a world title.
Any idea where he would be based?

 

[Michael]

No, he needs a couple of 10 rounders against a few decent contenders. I know he's in great shape and all, but going from a 5 rounder to a 12 rounder for the first time ever in a championship fight is a step too far. He should be ready within 3 or 4 fights though.

 

[adamcanavan]

Arturo Gomez (8rounder) → Ji Hoon-Kim → Kevin Mitchell → Antonio Demarco → Lightweight Title

Something like that would be perfect for Lomachenko. Obviously theres loads of names you could throw about but around that level.

 

[Flea Man]

@dkos Fuck you. I thought we were mates.

 

[Flea Man]

Lomachenko should go to 130lbs and get merc'd by Jomthong.

 

[dkos]

:lol: I don't think Saensak has too much to worry about just yet.

I just think Lomachenko picking up some sort of strap in his debut would turn him into a star instantly. It would be massive news.

I'm not sure its even possible. Even a voluntary defence has to be a top 15 and if the opponent isn't they're generally bumped up the rankings after the fight is made. I'd suggest it'd be impossible for a guy with no fights to gain a ranking but this is the WBC/WBA/WBO/IBF we're talking about...

Audley Harrison was top 15 when he fought haye?

Money talks. These orgs don't have any integrity towards sticking to their rules.

...Although in this case I'd support it

 

[O59]

He struggled against Bashenov. Although he won widely, he didn't look as devastatingly good as he did against Valentino. He seemed to get caught plenty downstairs and was hit more often than he usually does. Still, though, I can't complain. Bashenov is no slouch and Lomachenko dominated.

Yeah I knew what you meant, but it would be heartbreaking for me.

Rademacher got a shot at the real World title in his debut with only one gold medal to his name. And as you say, with these org's anything is possible.
