Vasil LomachenkoOne of the purest, most intelligible boxers who will ever step into the ring, retire. And not because he finished. Not because the division passed it. But because Boxing chewed him, robbed him and spit him and spit.
He shook his integrity intact – because there was no judge, not the promoter and he would not be able to take himself from him.
“I am grateful at all victories and defeats in the ring and in life … Recognition, history and legend are not the ultimate goal of existence.”
He says that with humility. But the rest of us? We are angry. Because what the box has just lost … We’re not going back.
This is not just a fighter – this was a technician, artist, master
We’re not talking about hype. We are talking make skills.
No cherries. No duck. Only a savage amateur record (396-1), two Olympic gold and professional path that redefined great size.
-
The world’s champion in his Third blossom
-
World Champion in three weights fight twelve
-
United the light king while giving up in size almost every time
Loma struggled with rhythm, geometry, time, pressure, defense, Faints – things cannot even be seen without slow recurrence. His legs were not just quick. Were surgical. His eyes read opponents like the manual. It wasn’t just beating the fighting. He resolved puzzles. In real time. Against the champion.
And while others encouraged the records and played a long game, He ran straight toward the smoke – Even when he was injured, even when it was nictured, even when it costs him on the cards.
Boxing mind that we will never see again
What He made Lomachenko differently was not just headings. It was how he fought.
-
That feet? From another planet.
-
You angles? Unseen until it was too late.
-
That IQ? He was in two steps ahead of us before the bell.
-
These swivels, are reset, combinations? Surgical. Ruthless. Beautiful.
Didn’t fight to win rounds – Struggled to break your will.
He wasn’t just an elite. Was Elite without shortcuts.
No hand-held defend. No rehydration clauses. There is no soft match.
He persecuted the size. And the box repaid him with silence and sabotage.
Top rank knew what they had – and we are
“The upper rank is privileged to promote” break “for the entire historical journey … He was a generational champion, and we will all miss his participation in sports.” – Bob Arum
No arguments. From the moment he turned Pro, Lomachenko was held in a higher standard. And never blinked. Not once. He took risks that others would not dream – and punished for that.
He robbed. Twice.
Let’s stop dancing about it.
Theofimo is fighting? Loma fought with one hand. The guy had his shoulder surgery the day after. And as he gave the wounds of the round, it is absolutely won the second half. All theo had to do it was 12. place. Still, somehow the cards were wide. You know why? Because policy ticks skill when behind the opponent there is a promotional agenda.
And then he came Devin Haney Srazi.
It wasn’t close. It was not discussable.
Loma beat Haney from 2. Round up to 11. Kola – clean, efficiently, intelligent work. Haney dropped, shrill, shelled. 10. The wheel was a loom masterpiece – He almost had Haney out of here.
And what did the judges do? 116-112 for Haney. A joke. Insult. Live TV stealing. Politically affected work.
Haney went to the strap. Loma went dignity – But there were robberies of daylight in front of the world. And the real boxing fans knew that.
Anyone who knows boxing – anyone who watches boxing – He saw who really beat that evening. Still, the guy who built his legacy on skill, discipline and severe fighting fucked in favor of someone with a marketing plan and a long runway.
Goodbye from promoters – and reality of checking from fans
Top Rank announced an official statement:
“The upper rank is privileged to promote” Loma “for the whole of his historical journey, which included in three class weight and recognition as a sports fighter.”
“He was a generational champion, and we will all miss his participation in sports.” – Bob Arum
Nice words. But let’s not pretend it’s the whole story.
The upper rank was happy to promote the breakage when he was untouchable – when he gave former champions stopped and collecting belts faster than any fighter in contemporary era.
But where was that energy when it was loot blind against Haney on his watch?
Where was the indignation when their golden boy left the belt bell, and he did not earn and lom was standing there empty-handed, putting on MasterClass?
The truth is that probably May that happen.
They handed over the break into the system.
Since the machine always needed a new face – and when it was time to pass the torch, They sacrificed a man who did their brand elite.
And don’t forget who never appeared
Loma called for the reservoir for years. Cricets.
He wanted that fight since 2017. years. And what did Maweather’s promotions make?
They kept the tank protected, fed him one showcase for another and waited. Only now – after injuries, war and wear of real challenges – it’s “open” tank. Why? For Were waiting for him out. It’s a blueprint: let the breakage, then behave strongly.
But that they headed back when it was at best? They knew the truth.
Loma would embarrass him. Just like he was stating that everything was left.
Box deserved Lomachenko
God bless fracture. He gave all this sport – and the boxing gave robbery, ducks and silence.
He didn’t play the game. He didn’t sell stupidity. He just fought. And when he lost, he never abolished. Never guilty. He took it as a man and returned more.
To false champions with padded records: Congratulations – now it is from you.
Judges who achieved politics: Enjoy checks.
Fans that in fact called boxing?
We saw the truth. We saw the master. And we will never forget.
Lomachenko was robbed, bend, freezeand still left A better man every time.
Thanks, Loma.
Boxing didn’t deserve you.
And damn certain won’t replace you.
