Australian lightweight George Kambosos Jr. (20-2, 10 KOs) lost the title of absolute world champion in a fight with American Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs). Attempts to take away the belts in revenge ended in an even more one-sided defeat.
Kambosos
surethat the former hegemon of the division, Ukrainian veteran Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) will also not be able to beat Haney: “Great fight. Look… No disrespect to Lomachenko. This is a real champion, a real champion. But for me, Devin is too big for him, too edgy, too strong, too smart.”
The Australian does not completely write off the applicant from the accounts, because “boxing is good for its unpredictability. But you need to understand that Devin is still progressing. He gets better and better with every fight. You’ll see, he wins. I really respect Lomachenko. And I would love to meet him in the ring.”
Kambosos believes that the Ukrainian has passed the career peak, as evidenced by the difficult victory over the American Jemaine Ortiz: “He looked ordinary. All the damage accumulated over the years is starting to show. There will be a repeat of his fight with Teofimo Lopez … “
The other day, a friend of Lomachenko said that the fight with Haney is 90% ready. And the ex-colleague of the Ukrainian on the national team Taras Shelestyuk does not hide the fact that “Lomachenko does not exist for him.”
