A break wouldn't be the worst thing for him.
It has been a while. Slim isn't so bad. Give him a break.
I always thought he was a good poster. Then....

yeah, I know..I found that too..
I got it in Russian: :D

"Я говорил перед боем, что это не будет легкий поединок для меня. Кэмпбелл – умный, техничный боксер. Я был близок к победе нокаутом, но это бокс. Мы выиграли и не важно как – нокаутом, техническим нокаутом, Na mas или по очкам. Это не важно. Важно, что мы выиграли. В седьмом раунде он не потряс меня. Нет. Он выбрасывал много ударов. Мне было непросто, потому что у него очень длинные руки. Конечно, это было очень, очень сложно", - добавил Ломаченко.

"He didn't hurt me in round 7, no."
Doesn't matter what he said, he was hurt in the 7th briefly - anyone without yellow and blue glasses on could see that.
But it happens. It doesn't diminish that he is/will be an ATG.
Silly to focus on this 'he wasn't hurt, he wasn't hurt' like children - there's no such thing as perfection and moving through three weight classes fighting top opposition so quickly you'll get stunned every now and then. Let it go! Researching and translating to try and prove he didn't admit he was hurt is taking it so far. Lots of fighters never admit being hurt.

You know why Campbell gave Lomachenko so much trouble, right? It's because Campbell is naturally a heavyweight.
