The promoter named his favorite
Famous promoter Alexander Krasyuk commented on the possible fight between the ex-world champion in three divisions Vasily Lomachenko and undisputed world lightweight champion Devin Haney.
“Vasily Lomachenko’s last fight showed a lot. Firstly, he showed that Vasya is still in the ranks, despite breaks, injuries, and so on. He’s tough, he knows what to do and when to turn on.”
“Yes, the opponent was not a gift, powerful. And, in my opinion, the opponent of Vasily Lomachenko, having entered the ring with Devin Haney, has more chances to win. Therefore, Lomachenko has even more chances. Of course, in my understanding, he is the undisputed favorite in this fight.”
“Devin Haney is nothing supernatural. The only thing that can prevent Lomachenko from doing well in this fight is injuries, health and mental state. These are three absolutely subjective moments that have nothing to do with the opponent. The opponent does not have anything of such value that he could counter Lomachenko.
Vasily Lomachenko defeated American Jemaine Ortiz in his last fight. For the Ukrainian, this was the first and only fight for 10 months.
According to the results of the fight, all three judges gave the victory to Lomachenko – 115:113, 116:112 and 117:111. For the Ukrainian, this victory was the 17th in the professional ring, for the American, the loss was the first defeat in the pros.
Devin himself has repeatedly stated his readiness to meet Lomachenko in the ring. In his last fight, Haney re-defeated George Kambosos and retained the WBC, WBA Super, IBF and WBO lightweight titles.
