One of the best boxers of our time, American Terence Crawford, shared his opinion about a possible fight between his compatriot, the absolute champion of the lightweight division (up to 61.2 kg) Devin Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) and Ukrainian ex-champion in three categories Vasily Lomachenko (16- 2, 11 KO).
It is noteworthy that at first Terence called Haney the favorite, but in the course of the development of thought, apparently, he came to a different conclusion.
“I will choose Devin. I give him preference,” said Crawford, after which he listed the qualities due to which, in his opinion, a compatriot can defeat a Ukrainian. – Youth, mobility, boxing IQ. But Lomachenko should never be written off. In general, I see this fight as 50 to 50.
Recall that both Haney and Lomachenko should enter the ring in the coming month. Devin has a rematch scheduled for October 16 against Australian George Kambosos, and Vassily will fight against Jemaine Ortiz two weeks later.
