Former three-division world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko is a 7:1 favorite to defeat former unified champion George Kambosos in their clash for the vacant IBF lightweight world title taking place this weekend at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia. Loma opened as a -550 favorite.
The card will air in the United States on Saturday night at 10PM ET/ 7PM PT on ESPN. The Australian telecast will start at 10AM on Sunday in Perth.
Kambosos lost to the overrated Haney twice. Loma easy, unless the judges are like Tim Cheatham.
Haney has nothing to do in this fight
Style makes fights
If you want to use the logic then kamboso is gona because ksmboso beat teo and teo beat Loma….lol
I think kambosos style will be difficult for Loma
I don’t care they beat before third parties have nothing to do here
Kambosos beat Lopez who beat Loma. Haney beat both Kam (twice in his own country) and Loma (close fight). He wasn’t “overrated” he just got beat by someone who matched him well. This is exactly why fighters don’t fight best because of such a mindset. A guy loses and he’s “overrated.” Imagine SRL in this modern era losing to Duran in the first fight and now he’s “overrated.” Let’s see how a fighter rebounds because we determine if they’re “overrated.” He’s 24 and can still turn it around if he fires his dad big mouth Bill and fix those fundamental holes in his game like learning to block a left hook, tighter defense and throwing a pro jab verse a bow and arrow amateur jab.
– Don’t have a dog in this fight, but I’d like to see a Lomachenko win here……
Loma is the homie and after getting shafted in Vegas. He is poised for a big win.
I thought Kambosos CLEARLY lost to Maxi Hughes after the Haney fights. I got Loma 9-3, 10-2ish.
It could be a ” no mashenko” by the 10th
Very, very, possible. If Loma is all healed up and loose, I can see that happening, even in Australia.
I’m picking Loma by TKO after some early shaky moments where kambosos lands a few big shots in the first couple rounds. But Loma will figure him by round 3 and will be on cruise control until the tko comes in rd 10.
This should be a very entertaining fight based on styles alone. I see Loma winning but I’m not counting out Kambosos by no means. Kambosos beat Teo, but lost twice to Haney, but styles makes fight and this has a style to make it a very good fight.
Kambosos is cashing in, nothing more nothing less its all about the money. He doesn’t even care if he loses as long as he gets that pay check.
Loma in 2!
I think kamboso is gona win
Thinking probably wrong.
Nothing to see here…Haney’s leftovers…both overrated…Loma should win a decision. Garcia had to juice up and come in heavy to win against The Dream…shameful.
“He whipped Joe Louis’ @55.”.
Haney fight was a robbery and we don’t know what the amount found was for Garcia, if any, as it still has not been disclosed and I doubt we’ll see it.
If Kambosos wins, I will no longer post on this site.
Shite, that might be worth it. We could finally get rid of the DEI poster on this site. Besides, we know who you going to pick. Hint: it ain’t based on skills.
No worries D, you’ll be posting. No way Kambosos is winning, unless it’s an Australian decision.
praying
hmm 7-1. would have thought 3-1
Just think Lomas skillset is far superior to Kambosos and he will win on points. George has the heart of a lion and won’t give up,but unless he’s learnt something new I can’t see him winning
Loma is one of those “once in a lifetime” special fighters. We’re all lucky to still see him fight — especially at this level.
Kamby has thrown one punch his whole career. If Lopez had done his job , we would have forgotten Kambosis by now. This is Teo’s fault…
A very clever analysis which I find to be almost true. Maxi Hughes beat him too in Oklahoma.
