Up Close With Vasyl Lomachenko
I first mentioned Vasyl Lomachenko on this blog last year (see here). As mentioned originally, Vasyl is one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time. He won a gold medal in the 2008 Olympics and is favored to win another at the current games in London. He fights later this week on Friday.
Regardless of the outcome, there is no denying his talent and potential as a pro fighter. I look forward to watching him advance throughout his career.
The video below is a 30 minute feature on his life. It’s well worth a look for any fan of the sweet science.

now i want to see how he is doing in the olympics
patriotism aside, i really like this guy. hope he does GREAT….against a non-american =-)
I am also a great fan of vasyl and have my fingers crossed and pray that he wins a gold medal this time as well.He is a great athlete.
vasyl is the man…i started boxing back up after 6 years, previously when i was 19 i had been training for a month and was getting ready for a tournament but i ended up joining the navy due to unfortunate circumstances. im a short boxer, about 5 ft 6 and i first found out about lomachenko when i saw his gold medal bout on youtube…he definitely is a huge inspiration for me as far as his style and how he breaks down his opponents, he really inspires me to pursue boxing seriously and possibly aim for the 2016 olympics.
