Three-division world champion Vasiliy “Loma” Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) and former unified lightweight world champion George “Ferocious” Kambosos Jr. (21-2, 10 KOs) hosted a virtual press conference Tuesday evening to formally announce their showdown, with Kambosos holding court in Perth and Lomachenko participating via satellite from Los Angeles.
Vasiliy Lomachenko: “Our fight with Devin Haney were two different fights. There were two different styles. If we talk about my fight with Haney, I didn’t lose that fight, in my opinion. If we talk about Haney-Kambosos, Kambosos had two chances and he lost.”
George Kambosos Jr: “Yes, I lost to Devin Haney, but you {Lomachenko} had your chance with Teofimo Lopez and you didn’t take your chance. I did.”
Here we go 2 children selling their fight
loma will easily win this fight theres really not much to say
I’d be surprised if he lost a round. Kambosos has terrible footwork, he lost 10 rounds to a decent southpaw his last fight. One of the worst decisions in recent times. He won’t lay a glove on Loma and if he does it really won’t matter because he can’t punch. He is tough and will last the distance. 118-110 to 120-108 range across the board.
I pick Loma to win (TKO 10) Kambosos will need to create an ugly fight for Loma.
lomo by a wide margin
loma in 2!
Wow! Some of you guys are calling an early night for Loma. This will be the most recent example of why styles make fights. Both have fought the same guys with different results.
Loma is just about the end of the road and has perhaps 2 or 3 fights left. I hope that his shoulder is fully healed and that Kambosos is on his “A” game so we have no excuses.
I also see a knockout after getting some good rounds in with a display of nasty angles. 8th round, Loma catches George coming in at the corner, cuts right as he fires off a quick right hook-left upper combo, opening the door for the finish if not right there and then.
Kambososnstill has a habit of stepping over as he moves forward and that alone will have him about a half second behind on the action.
