The former rival of the Ukrainian boxer spoke about the danger of meeting in the ring with the former champion.
Jorge Linares believes in the victory of Vasily Lomachenko in the fight for the title of absolute world champion with Devin Haney.
According to the veteran Venezuelan boxer, who previously met the Ukrainian, Lomachenko is very dangerous in the ring.
For this reason, the American should not wait for an easy ride, but prepare for the real battle.
“We will see that the most important quality of Lomachenko is his experience, because he has talent. He is fast and, I think, more powerful than Haney. He slowly kills you. I say this because I went through it myself.
Haney has distance, he’s young, bigger than Loma. I think in this fight everything depends on the plan. You have to evolve to escape. Strategy will be the main key for Lomachenko and Haney.
Loma looks beautiful. He looks good. Although this is no longer the Loma I once fought. But you saw that he was doing well in the fights with Nakatani and Ortiz. They are both good boxers,” Boxing News 24 quoted Linares as saying.
It will be remembered that the duel between Devin Haney and Vasily Lomachenko should take place tomorrow, May 20, in American Las Vegas at the MGM Grand arena.
Earlier, the Ukrainian boxer tricked his future opponent, advising him to study the rules of boxing.
