Vasiliy Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs) is preparing for a WBO/WBA lightweight title defense vs. Anthony Crolla (34-6-3, 13 KOs) on Friday night, but TMZ Sports made sure to ask him about Conor McGregor, much to the delight of SEO lovers and headline writers everywhere.
So what was the two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-division world champion asked about McGregor? Well everything was focused on Conor’s boxing abilities, and Lomachenko doesn’t think too highly of the former UFC champion’s skillset... at least not as a professional.
“No, I don’t think [he’s a good boxer]. He might be a good boxer in an amateur career, amateur boxing,” Lomachenko said.
