Israel Adesanya responded to the defeat of Vasily Lomachenko

The current UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, shared his opinion about the fight for the title of undisputed world champion in lightweight boxing between Devin Haney and Vasily Lomachenko, in which the Ukrainian boxer suffered a controversial defeat.

“I am not a judge, but you need to understand how significant endings are,” Adesanya said in another video posted on his YouTube channel. “Sometimes it affects the judges, the fans, and even the fighters, because when you fight, there are 20-30 seconds left and you hear applause, you try to win the last stretch, because the judges remember what happened at the end”

“So Devin started strong and Loma finished strong. It was a close fight, they both showed resilience, focus, and neither of them was going to give in. I’m just glad I wasn’t the referee in this fight. I’m not a boxing official, just a fan. In fact, most people don’t understand anything about boxing.”

The title fight between Haney and Lomachenko, who headlined the Top Rank event in Las Vegas last weekend, went all the way, following the results of the twelve rounds of which the judges gave a unanimous decision with a score of 116-112 and 115-113 to the undefeated American, who retained four championships. belts.
