American wins by unanimous decision
Undisputed World Lightweight Champion Devin Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) commented on his victory over the Ukrainian, ex-world champion Vasily Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs).
“This guy is a fucking sick loser. He got the privilege [на бой], and now it is justified on the go! Accept this defeat like a man and stop crying. Everything was set up for you to win, but you failed for the third time in your career! Also, tell the commission to give me back my 400k for this push. [на пресс-конференции]!”
Lomachenko lost in a fight against Haney for the title of undisputed world lightweight champion. According to the results of 12 rounds, the judges gave the victory to the American boxer: 116:112, 115:113, 115:113.
The sports community spoke about the unfair decision of the panel of judges. At the same time, WBC President Mauricio Suleiman supported the decision of the judges, pointing out that the fight was very close on points.
Lomachenko fought his 20th fight in the professional ring and suffered his third defeat in his career. Undefeated Haney won his 30th bout and defended the title of undisputed world lightweight champion.
Egis Klimas, the manager of the Ukrainian boxer, sent letters to the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO asking him to appoint the Ukrainian as a mandatory contender for the lightweight belts owned by Haney.
