tonight he makes his professional debut he is a two-time Olympic gold medal champion from Odessa police are here supreme confidence doesn't believe anyone can beat them when you win two gold medals in the Olympics and don't lose one out of 400 amateur fights guess what it breeds confidence arguably the greatest amateur fighter ever lomez pro debut was highly anticipated [Music] and appearances all [Music] [Applause] typically a fighter with potential will Rev their career up over time the silly wanted no part of that Viper's combination jail stuff you very rarely see daddy's 396 amateur fights of which he won 300 [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Ramirez went halfway across the world I had lunch ankle and my top ten pound for pound when he had one call fight and people with what are you doing how could you do that I won't give it some time maybe you'll figure it out the Seeley's parents are the source of his strength his mother was a gymnast his father a boxing trainer loma was trained by his father since the time he was a little baby I stopped paying then there was it four years old yeah he's number one is the best and I think his father is the best hell for it oh that's him doing some Samba competing in a plethora of sports vasily excelled in almost any athletic undertaking football swimming not football soccer soccer dancing you know the store where his father made him do traditional russian dancing and just made him learn that for footwork it seems like his dad was just a mastermind architect of a champion The Matrix is everywhere he entered the professional arena ready and able to contend for a title he was six seven years old his father insisted on four years of Ukraine and in just his second Pro fight he took his first shot when you look at lomachenko you see exactly why this highly decorated amateur believes he can pull it off you know he had that amazing experience of 12 rounds against Orlando sweet Oh who came in overweight and Bob waiting by maybe 20 pounds and sweet OH fought a very rough and probably dirty fight with a big WBO featherweight championship of the world [Applause] the fight was a difficult one for the green Vasilis facing a seasoned champion in just his second fight it began with vasily dominating the action 307 or 397 ammeter pikes 396 of them wins and the one loss was avenged but it quickly devolved into repeated low blows from Orlando Roy Jones jr. commentated on it all night repeatedly this kid through low blow after low blow right there every time you see a little over will blow blow you'll see Lobo Chico dip and go down right right then after the fight it was counted that our Lando used 41 strikes below the belt he was not done a single point fights and somehow this most other people in the arena confusing faul lomachenko a hundred times and I don't even think that's hyperbole and was lucky that he held on to the winner by split decision Orlando [Applause] he wasn't quite mentally ready for a tough rugged guy that was gonna take him 12 Roger was gonna cheat a little bit but the experience would ultimately be a good one for Vasily an experience he credits with preparing him for the tactics of inferior fighters in the future as an amateur Vasily racked up an otherworldly record a 396 wins to just one loss Mazzilli is on the short list of two-time gold medalists that's exactly what you see you'll often find a gap put away of two gold medals effectively back-to-back in the Olympics that's like having LeBron James and Kobe Bryant come through all in his third fight Loma would take on Gary Russell Jr who was unblemished in 24 pro fights introducing Vasili across the ring on my differencing the undefeated mr. Gary I think it's gonna be a lot easier with people think I'm he only had two bikes you know so we're definitely gonna expose the one that we got some tricks up our sleeves that will think he's ready I thought Gary Russell Jr was the greatest thing since sliced bread he thought limit jank I was like who's this Russian dude anymore he's Ukrainian never heard of it he took Russell apart let's watch again in real time we want to be able to compete for what I'm about to fight it's a little shake it's a little shake as you can you can't take away from the laws of gravity you know if you jump up you gotta come down he outclassed Russell from start to finish he gets inside he steps around he gets underneath the arms he's never standing still even if he worked as a hawk holding Russell's punches landed to a poultry tender Center around for the fight of the console really fast fighter and Romanenko completely outclassed handing to previously unbeaten fighter his first loss Junior terrific performance for Lana Chico [Applause] [Music] they certainly believe that history has been equal here tonight on bursting [Applause] Vassalo panchenko going up against Gary Russell and winning a world title and just his third fight his third fight out Anatoli is a genius I mean he really is a mastermind with acting Lomas training is a scientific process unorthodox yet unquestionably effective reminiscent to the approach of under Holyfield took with his training he started very young he had a process that he was gonna put him through all the way through to increase his stamina the sealy practices holding his breath underwater for as long as he can his record is four and a half minutes my my record was a four minutes 30 seconds what yeah his father is really a mastermind when it comes to boxing and your training get ready for a 12-round fight instead you spar 15-minute job and instead of three-minute rounds informant paul mention stead of a minute rescue three singles yeah [Applause] in his fourth fight Lama fought the asia-pacific champ who had an incredible record of 51 wins and only one D face and ears Lama chinko provided by many as the greatest amateur fighter of all time one loss as an amateur that lost twice avenged bottom line he's the most precocious fighter of this age with this background every to have appeared in the sport the Challenger here's the WBO asia-pacific champion number one contender in the sanctioning body Loma chenko told his people I want to fight one of the other belt folders they said none of them are available he said then get me the number one contender's Roy Jones jr. was amazed at the way the young Vasily navigated the ring I had testicles he made a 3/4 of a circle make the 360 around the ring without his backs back ever touching the ropes [Music] combination point pressure fighters he's a power punching pack shiner and then all the sudden he's a fleet footed escape artist [Music] first time it 53 bytes that ovarian video has been on the game today the first tablet took the three fighters that he's seen see the logo Chico even by special Fighter standards you're watching something special a true exhibition of greatness [Music] [Applause] his hands move fast his reaction that reflexes their secret quick also the winner by unanimous decision and still WBO world champion and the silly love Michiko the edict from Loma was clear he was only interested in fighting meaningful fights no record padding for him nobody can help but be impressed by how gloma fights by the technical skill that he has we haven't seen that maybe since the first young Valley Loma is a nightmare of frustration this explains the abnormal amount of cheap shots Lomas opponents deliver this time and again well the checkol is just genetically like he's he's laced with fast twitch muscles it's breathtaking for guys like us who have been around the ring for a long time it was a thing of beauty and that's why he's already crept laptop 5 pounds pounds you know the guy who does it the best today about cutting angles and being right in front of you can't him his little chain you could throw a punch and that punch could be in midair and he's spinning and he's already behind you he's over here and he's punched me in the face and lo mishchenko stands right in front of you and then he's not I've never seen someone enjoy punches and counter punch and switch studied us anime of things I'm thinking I've been lost a long time I'm not asking to that well I can practice that is fluidity and ability to dance around the ring help him to be in the right place at the right time every time [Music] Rodriguez is down for the second time by way of knockout he is still that WBO featherweight champion of the world Vasily what's fascinating to me is in your training that you get you post on high and I see on the countdown videos I mean who comes up with this stuff is your father you do the reaction drills this is a special exercises for mind flexibility you need to switch from muscle work to intelligence roma also trains in skating juggling tennis and gymnastics traditional boxing exercises are alternated with non standard methods anything that may aid in some way to his boxing repertoire online boxing life he gave me a special exercises I do not boxing not boxing exercises yeah unconventional there yeah his training regimen is pretty cool and they said it was just crazy that the hours that he puts in how he trains how hard he trains the some of the girls that he does the way he he's so agile with the stepping of his feet it's like I think a lot of people are gonna learn [Music] his footwork cuts off all avenues of attacks he moves so well that's just flashes a little over Chico could do he walks his opponents down but not in a brutish fashion instead he enters the pocket safely no but sugar definitely the aggressor [Music] superior because he's just moving with every punch like he sees it coming and he's already move it an aggressive counter puncher who swarms and often overwhelms opponents observe Lomo redirecting his opponent's almost like fencing the best way to describe lomas style is textbook looks like he's punching he's already moving before the punch around so he's not there anymore for the count Kilian the Goliath eight if he wants to sex he spits on puppies he was all over [Applause] in his seventh professional fight loma moved up in weight to face off with the junior lightweight champion rocky Martinez in Madison Square Garden [Applause] [Applause] [Music] see that's that too much [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] history you just saw history like [Music] ja world champion and 7/4 became a to weight division world champion and only his seventh pro fight winning the genial lightweight world title you know two-time Olympic gold medalist and two division champion why is he so effective in the ring there's so many reasons why I saw with technique his technique is impeccable in his next fight Roma would take on an undefeated champion Nicholas Walters [Applause] only a special fighter in a special performance wins a matchup like this they're both special tonight [Applause] Walter's was a knockout artist a genuine star [Applause] thanks guys keep their hands at home a lot with the small or the light office then once he gives me several at home he brings a ball and Lobo Chico as he did the Gary Russell Jr is just turning it into his box addressed Loma embarrassed him dominating the fight from stun to finish the way he seems to know exactly what he wants to do for the kids know okay this stopping the fight [Applause] the tradition in American North American boxing is a champion would not stop fighting at that moment a finish that came via Walters quitting on his stool shades of Leonard versus Duran No Mas you're not supposed to quit in boxing you know you're not supposed to cry in baseball you can't quit in boxing friends very own vasila martin core has been recognized as the best boxer in the world what makes vasily Loma chenko the best because his stall is so unorthodox getting most of Harley southpaw but then he switches hands which is legs ring powerful power best fighter in the world by ESPN and the Ring Magazine and writers us the Boxing Writers Association of America the chicken has a record that you will look at and say wait a minute this guy's not experienced but he is vomit echoes attempting to also become one of the greatest pros ever there have been very few careers that have been this good this fast [Applause] loma attempted to fight any of the other belt holders in his division willing to fight him they were all afraid solomid defended his belt against Jason Sosa I [Music] can't think of anyone quite like lo Michiko he's showing us something new he takes those steps to the right into the left sort of like Mike Tyson used to do to set up his punches from the right or left and for the second straight fight loma made his opponent quit on their stool good for Rivas correct for the judge loma was now being dubbed no mas chenko at this point llamas biggest issue was finding worthy opponents who also possessed the balls to get into the ring with him he says come on I'm going to sit right here in this neutral corner you me clear this not down stored played the silly no mischenko blake in his will with both speed defensive prowess every which way every which way said that hey I am the best I fear no man not you you can't hit me and I can hit you [Music] for the third straight time his opponent quit on his stool [Music] [Applause] 20 is TKO victory for the silly [Music] No Mas chenko struck again winning by way of submission you're fighting for the first time the history of boxing that to two-time gold medalists are getting into lomachenko he dodges punches like neo dodges bullets fittingly he's been nicknamed the matrix the matrix is everyone it is all around us even now in this very room you can see it when you look out your window next thing I know I'm 2 or 3 rows into and I'm going he's playing with brigand I'll yeah I am I'm going on he's beginning to believe but it's all set up bites look at his look at his feet unfortunately no one can be told what the matrix is you have to see it for you he is the matrix with his ankles [Music] the other type of holders were understandably less than enthusiastic about being dismantled in the matrix another opponent quitting on his duel submitting to the will of lomachenko yeah I'll give it a new name the lowman jangle no mugs shank oh there it is that's the fight that really sold me on low match a code that he's that good eleven fights in he wins his third world title what in the [ __ ] from 130 pounds - 135 from junior lightweight the lightweight Loma would move up and wait again to face off with the light weight world champion Jorge Linares I was wondering whether the silly had bitten off more than he could shoot now it's time to see he's the best fighter in the world eight nine what Arsenal of a check go round number one for the lightweight time in a quest to secure his third title in yet another division Linares was considered the number one lightweight in the world a real challenge for the matrix the fight was a back and forth affair with the guard upstairs [Applause] Loma was the more skilled but Jorge had a large size and power advantage yeah a smaller man wants to be envious and it really is quite a size difference to see then in the sixth round Lama got caught what a turn he was fine right away and like I said he showed another dimension for the first time in his career loma was knocked down the momentum switched and Linares went on the attacks but loma persevered delivering a lethal combination that culminated with a devastating body shot [Applause] lux the winds shattered the record for the fewest fights needed to secure titles in three divisions there was no resting on his laurels after winning his third title instead lo mein to unify the lightweight else against his a Pedraza second half you cannot fade against the matrix [Applause] soon we don't leave left and that time against Pedraza that's his that being rubbish nothing about from the first dresses he knocks down the jab of ajasa and throws a straight left hand down the middle the fight was mostly one-sided low Milland is an incredible 46 percent of his 345 power punches [Applause] 32 power punches landed in that 11th round [Applause] [Music] [Applause] performance here he survives the world Chico was absolutely sensation is now the unified WBA and W lightweight champion of the world the silly [Applause] Chango this is levels about this is what are the great fighters of the last 10 20 years in low mashenka who just seems to be getting stronger that's better and he works for roma destroyed Anthony Corolla boom perfect hanging inside the first man of the thought that is definitively the end of the fire [Applause] his class dismantling the brave Antony cruller who needs time here you're not for belts it means you are you are the best in your weight classes the best you are one one world champion not for world champion you won in his next outing lomachenko captured his third belt in his fourth weight class how good is gonna thinking maybe the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world Campbell was a much larger fighter than Noma Logan chuckles a guy walked up from the featherweight so most people now gonna be the naturally bigger guy almost lows in the movie glides bad that's that ballet covering for the other it's something to watch man it's just did the the ability to to move and also to anticipate the other fighters movement this guy is the Wizard of footwork that's crazy because he's like right in front of you that's one step ahead of you at every turn Lomu was shocked he dictated the action staying aggressive landing cursing body shots chopping away at the much larger fighter who wants to be matched only with the best Vasili lomachenko is considered by most boxing experts to be the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet how high he climbs on the all-time list will be one of the biggest stories in boxing over the next several years [Applause] Vasili lomachenko the matrix nobody brings it home like [ __ ] it's nobody make itself

I used to follow boxing in the De La Hoya era, but lost interest for a while. I was unaware of Lomachenko until I came across this documentary last week. My interest in boxing is rekindled! Looking forward to following his career.
