Lightweights Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos faced off at the final press conference for their clash for the vacant IBF world title taking place this weekend at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia. Loma and Kambosos locked eyes for three-and-a-half minutes before they were separated.
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 in Perth.
Vasiliy Lomachenko: “We have a fight. We prepared very hard. And like I said, it will be very interesting…I’m just looking forward to the IBF title. I need to take my title, and then after that, I can think about my future.”
George Kambosos Jr: “I’m extremely confident. I bring that confidence from my preparation. I’ve had a tremendous training camp. The confidence is higher than ever. When I beat Lomachenko, there will be no more road for him to go. This is retirement for him.”
Separated by Lucas Big Daddy Browne! Haha absolutely brilliant scenes.
Loma got this in a bag.
Easy win!
The face off gonna last longer than the fight. Loma gonna destroy him.
With all due respect-both these guys seems like yesterdays news.
I see a classic win for Lomachenko, however, we will find out how much he has left in the tank, how his right hand responds as it will be used often because of Kambosos’ style and the timing to his side to side movement.
I expect Kambosos to come out fast, trying to make a statement early and trying to rough Loma up on the inside. Mini chess match from 4-6 ending with a flash knockdown towards the end of the 6th from a right hook/left cross being fired over a Kambosos double-jab. Then, The Matrix takes over and puts on a show. 117-110 Lomachenko.
Kambosos really not at elite level-reputation built mostly beating a fighter who had an off night.
Kambosos may do better than with Haney twice. Kambosos had a crap game plan the 2nd fight with Haney.
He’s got the sparring partner blues from sparring Pacquiao so much in the past.
Kambosos did’t win vs Maxi Highes, he better be better for this fight than vs Hughes and the 2nd Haney fight.
Maybe fighting in Perth will help him.
Easy work for Lomachenko . I never bought into the narrative he’s old or past his prime. At times, I thought he was a bit overrated on the p4p list. This guy can still go. There is a reason Tank Davis is fighting the Martin’s of the division or mentions everyone except Lomachenko. As far as I’m concerned Loma is well on his way to becoming undisputed. I don’t believe any of the current 135lbs fighters can beat him if he decides to turn up the dial, but we’ll see.
Shakur can
Loma hid behind a fake Franchise Championship belt to avoid the best in his division. Later, hid behind a war he was pretending to fight in. Loma dont believe he’s the top guy so why do you? BS, narrative fans keep going.
Kinda of remember him taking out a lot of the top guys and making them quit? One brick city, you are just a hater plus anyone that loves chaka kahn Shakur has already lost all credibility.
Kambosos is an idiot who is full of ticks and meaningless motion in every fight-He will lose again against a class act-I do not know who sets bouts for the clown Kambosos-waste of time-Just another easy spar for Loma
Loma should handle business against Kamboso
Even if Loma was to turn really old overnight, he still has far too much for Ferocious Kambosos. Will be more one sided then Haneys 2 shellackings
I was so embarrassed as an Aussie to see George Kambosos at the press conference with Vasily Lamachenko standing there like a stupid Cow yes Cow, chewing it’s cud. I hope and pray Vasily knocks this fowl mouth cocky George Out after he gives George a huge beat down beating. Yes I am an Australian but can’t stand this arrogant big mouth prick.
The Aussie always seems so upptight.
Im glad these two guys made it through the Haney protection program in good spirits.
loma should win this fight better all around fighter
kambosos is like a monkey with parkinson’s at best
