Alright, let me walk you through how I ended up digging into Lomachenko’s boxing record the other day.
It started pretty simply. I was watching some boxing highlights, you know, just browsing around, and his name popped up again. Got me thinking, what’s his actual professional record look like these days? I remember hearing all the hype, especially from his amateur days, but wanted the hard numbers for his pro fights.
Getting Started
So, first thing I did was just grab my phone. Didn’t need anything fancy. Opened up a web browser, went straight to the search bar.
I typed in something straightforward, probably just “lomachenko boxer record” or maybe “vasiliy lomachenko pro stats“. Kept it simple.
Sifting Through Results
Naturally, a bunch of results came back. Sports news sites, boxing stats websites, the usual suspects. I tend to skip the news headlines first, because sometimes they just mention a recent fight. I wanted the career total.
I clicked on one or two of the sites that looked like dedicated sports statistics pages. You know the ones, they usually have tables and lists of fights. Checked the first one, saw the numbers. Then I popped over to another one, just to cross-reference. Always good to double-check, sometimes sites have slightly different tallies or update at different times.
The Findings
Both sources pretty much agreed. Here’s what I jotted down:
- Wins: Found he had 17 wins.
- Losses: Recorded 3 losses.
- Knockouts: Saw 11 KOs listed next to his wins.
It wasn’t a massive number of total fights compared to some old-timers, but that’s kind of his story, right? Fast-tracked because of the insane amateur background.
Quick Thoughts
Seeing the numbers laid out like that was interesting. Those few losses stand out, especially given the expectations around him. But the KO ratio is still pretty high. It confirmed what I sort of knew – super skilled guy, took tough fights early, didn’t have a traditional long build-up career.
Didn’t take long, maybe five, ten minutes tops. Just a quick lookup to satisfy my curiosity. Now I’ve got those numbers filed away in my head for the next time his name comes up in conversation.
