    I'm not really a fight fan, but I happened upon a youtube video and was utterly amazed at the skill and talent this man has.

    Right where I want to be.
    He really likes that step to the right and left hook.
    Moves very well.
    Never seen one of his fights.

    According to Wikipedia, he went 396-1 for his amateur career! He avenged his 1 loss twice afterwards. 6 Olympic medals (5 golds). If that is not a resume for future greatness I don't know what would be. I have a feeling that Lomachenko will soon become a well known name. I have really enjoyed watching some videos of his fights and training.

    And yes, that weak side pivot move catches them off guard every time (so fast)! Benefit of being a southpaw I reckon.
