Come on it's not THAT ridiculous. I would favour Lomachenko to win, odds of 3-1 seem reasonable, but Carl is so fit, a real pressure fighter, in theory he has the right style.....bripez wrote:Stroll on - I am going back to watching the X Factor.reggaereggae wrote:Frampton has good chance against VasylIan1973 wrote:
No, Frampton is very good. Don't make the mistake of under-rating that kid.

Re: Vasyl Lomachenko
Absolutely phenomenal fighter, when you consider he's had, what, three or four fights ??
Incredible really, everyone comparing him with seasoned pros, but it's ridiculous when you think about how many fights he's actually had, 'world champ' or not...
But the skills and talent he shows, at such an early pro stage, make you think of fighters like a Sugar Ray Leonard in the making, although obviously without the punch. Yet.
With the right trainer he'll learn to stop all the dancing & showboating around. Plant the punches, a bit like the Chinese phenom showed the other night. He'll be unstoppable, and a showdown with the Cuban is going to be fascinating.
His big drawback at the moment is the lack of punch, and a lack of experience and seasoning, he'd likely find the pressure & toughness of Frampton a tough grind over 12 rounds... But if the Irishman wants the fight, he'd better take it sooner than later, that's for sure.

agree with most, yes his only had 4 pro fights but his huge amateur experience is why his so good, don't forget he also had 8 fights in the WSB ( semi pro ).
Two things, first I don't think his power ( or lack of it ) is a huge problem, his timing, accuracy and movement are so good his power is not an issue, i think his strong enough to push people off if he needs to, and his accuracy will be more than enough to keep opponents back.
Secondly, I don't think his going to be trained by anyone else other than his dad, his dad knows pro sparring is the key now, and I'm sure they will adjust to the pro ranks with ease in time,
As far as Frampton goes, it's a fight I would love to see, but your right, take it sooner rather than latter, this kid from the ukraine really is something special !!
