Describe Lomachenko’s perfection…
Tony Bellew said: He’s the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. There are things that he does that I cannot explain.
Carl Froch said: Roy Jones Jr could win a fight with just one punch, his jab, and movement. Lomachenko can do the same.
How might Campbell trouble Lomachenko?
Froch said: Campbell has got size and reach, and natural strength, and he has to use it. Look for the counter-punch and be busy.
Paulie Malignaggi said: Campbell can mentally trouble Lomachenko.
Can Campbell beat Lomachenko?
David Haye said: If there is a style to beat Lomachenko, it will not be an orthodox fighter because he is so unorthodox. He finds a way to be very awkward. Campbell is southpaw, tall with long arms, with respectable power. If he doesn’t try to knock Lomachenko out, he can win rounds.
Malignaggi said: You can’t beat Lomachenko in a boring fight because he makes you feel the heat. You have to beat him in a shoot-out.
