阿鲁姆星期五在ESPN采访中被问及,为什么他会认为洛马琴科是穆罕默德.阿里以来最优秀的拳击手,阿鲁姆把洛马琴科和梅威瑟以及上一代的拳击手做了比较。
阿鲁姆说;“现在来看,弗洛伊德无疑是一位伟大的防守专家。但是,弗洛伊德只是满足于点数战胜对手,比对手得分更多,在得分上获胜。而洛马琴科,你根本就打不到他。因为他的距离太好了,他的步法太好了。他总是在寻找方法来摧毁对手,他总是这样做。
所以我认为洛马琴科是我见过的最好的,我公司的掮客特拉普勒曾经把洛马琴科和一些旧时代的著名拳手做过对比。就像桑迪·赛德勒,或者是威利·派普,萨尔瓦多·桑切斯,甚至是亚历克西斯·阿圭罗,都不可能是洛马切科的对手。
从两方面来看洛马琴科都算是最好的,首先他是一个伟大的防守型拳击手,把它与和伟大的进攻风格相结合,他是我见过的最好的。换句话来说,你根本就打不到他,因为他的脚步很好,而且距离判断更优秀。他在防守的同时一直在寻找对手的弱点,逼迫对手放弃战斗”。
rum: Unlike Mayweather, Lomachenko Closes Shows, Destroys Foes
By Keith Idec
When asked Friday during an ESPN interview why he has called Vasyl Lomachenko the best fighter he has seen since Muhammad Ali, promoter Bob Arum made a comparison to one of Lomachenko’s contemporaries.
Arum told Max Kellerman, Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim on ESPN’s “First Take” that what separates the gifted Ukrainian southpaw from Floyd Mayweather Jr. is that he closes shows and seeks to take out his opponents. Their interview was part of ESPN’s promotion of the Lomachenko-Miguel Marriaga 130-pound title fight the network will televise Saturday night from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
“Now Floyd Mayweather’s a great, great defensive fighter – there’s no doubt about it,” Arum said. “But Floyd is content to win fights by out-scoring an opponent, scoring more punches than the opponent hits him with and wins on points. Now Lomachenko closes the show. You can’t hit him because his distance is so good, his footwork is so good. But he’s always looking for ways to destroy the opponent and he always does.

“So I look at Lomachenko as the best that I’ve seen. And my matchmaker, Bruce Trampler, compares him to the old-time fighters and feels like guys like Sandy Saddler or Willie Pep or Salvador Sanchez or even Alexis Arguello would be no match for Vasyl Lomachenko.”
The 29-year-old Lomachenko is 7-0 since he lost his second pro fight – a 12-round split decision to Mexico’s Orlando Salido (44-13-4, 31 KOs, 1 NC) three years ago in San Antonio. The two-time Olympic gold medalist is ranked among the top five fighters in boxing on credible pound-for-pound lists.
“He goes both ways in the sense that he’s a great defensive fighter, probably one of the best that I’ve ever seen,” Arum said. “But he combines it with a great offensive style. In other words, you can’t hit him because his footwork is so good, his judgment of distance is so good. But while he’s avoiding punches, he’s always looking for weaknesses in the opponent and he looks to take the opponent out, or to make the opponent quit.”
ESPN’s broadcast will begin Saturday night at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT with a 10-round lightweight bout that’ll match Phoenix’s Ray Beltran (33-7-1, 21 KOs, 1 NC) against Costa Rica’s Bryan Vasquez (35-2, 19 KOs). Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs) and Colombia’s Marriaga (25-2, 21 KOs) will fight for Lomachenko’s WBO super featherweight title. |
