The coach and father of the former undisputed lightweight champion named his favorite for the upcoming fight.
Teofimo Lopez Sr spoke about the fight between Vasily Lomachenko and Devin Haney. The coach and father of former undisputed lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez believes the Ukrainian won the fight.
According to the specialist, the American boxer agreed to the fight because he believed that Lomachenko had weakened.
“The only reason Haney agreed to this fight is because this is not the same Lomachenko we fight. We fight the best Loma. Probably now Haney sees his weaknesses. They went for it, but you never know, maybe Lomachenko will be too fast.
I don’t want to give you any hints, but I’ll give you one anyway. You may or may not understand it. Thanks to this, I became the best coach in 2020. I was the only one who answered the riddle of how to beat Lomachenko. If he can find his corners, he will absolutely win this fight.
People tried to do what Devin Haney would try to do. They’re trying to outbox the boxer, outbox the fucking Matrix. Lomachenko is called “The Matrix” for a reason. He’s not the Matrix he used to be, but he’s good enough to beat Haney. I’m betting on Lomachenko to win by unanimous decision,” said Lopez Sr. in an interview with YouTube channel MillCity Boxing.
It will be remembered that the fight Devin Haney – Vasily Lomachenko should take place on May 20 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Earlier, former rival Lomachenko spoke about how the Ukrainian would face Haney.
