Al is still Jacobs advisor just so you know..& I'm not saying Al is blocking Bud, BOB is blocking Bud. Al is manager/advisor not promoter cuz if he was then he would be getting that promoter check too.

Well you keep thinking that!
Real boxing fans know better!

Lmfao, that dumbass is trying to claim Lomachenko is a natural 135 lber

lomachenko fought all his fights at 132lbs back inthe amateurs. It seems not a far fetched assumption.

lomachenko fought all his fights at 132lbs back inthe amateurs. It seems not a far fetched assumption.

Alright, let me break it down a bit. Not most of his amateur fights. Not even a lot of his career. From 2011 - 2012 he fought at lightweight (I don't know about 2010; maximum of 132 lbs). Prior to that, he was at featherweight (126 lbs).

Anyways:
1) Amateur weigh-ins are the day of the fights.
2) You literally have only a few days in between each round, so this means you aren't going on a massive cut for water weight or food, general.
4) In amateurs, some fighters will weigh slightly less than their division weight. Some will weigh around the same. Some, maybe 3 pounds heavier. Don't expect more than that, at a lighter weight class (132 / lightweight).

With that said, Lomachenko was 24 in the 2012 Olympics. That's probably close to his peak as an adult man, or near anyways.

Now let's look at his professional fights. What were his re-hydration weights?

Against Salido, he was 136 lbs (26 years old)
Against Gary Russell Jr., he was 138 lbs (26 years old)
Against Rigondeaux and Linares, he was said to be ~138 lbs. (29 and 30 years old).

Not to mention, this could have been with clothing on. Rehydration weights are unofficial and some fighters might wear more clothing (or they might treat it like a weigh-in and not).


Do you think a "natural" 135 lber would be fighting below 140 lbs., especially at the age of 24-30?

For example, at 135, these are some other fighters weights:
Gesta (148.8) vs Linares (145.5)
Crawford (152) vs Gamboa (145)

If I had to give Lomachenko a natural weight class, it would clearly be 130. Hell, he never missed 126, and fought there until the age of 28.

I'm like 6 (me) -1 (you) against you so stop ignoring the W's I got over you steven.

Lol no you aren't. Delusional as hell. I give you hell because you say outlandish sh.it and call ppl idots for their knowledge of the sport. You are a bandwagon guy who jumped on rigo and said ppl were scared of him and he would bread Loma etc. Now he got owned you off that wagon and got on Charlo wagon and while they fight b- level fighters you say same thing about them like you did about possible rigo opponents lol. Charlos will fight bums and no hopes and now they have fought c level guys they got beat. Canelo and GGG and the rest are scared though right?! Hahaha. That's why I goof on you... never has there been a time you were right..
