The former world champion believes that the victory over Haney, which should be the highest of his career, was stolen from the Ukrainian.
Vasily Lomachenko was robbed of his moment of coronation and glory when he was awarded a fight loss to Devin Haney. This is what former world champion Paul Malignaggi said.
In his opinion, the Ukrainian does not need a rematch from Haney, but to finish his career.
“I want him to retire. He’s 35 years old and every day he’s moving away from his peak. Even the fight with Haney was competitive, but I don’t think it’s necessary to have a rematch. Boxing doesn’t deserve -should be that way.guys like Lomachenko.
No one deserves to be treated unfairly, but even the most outstanding fighters in history have not escaped unfair refereeing in their fights. Pernell Whittaker was upset in a fight with Julio Cesar Chavez when he came close to handing him his first loss. The same goes for Roy Jones when he gets disqualified from Montell Griffin, even though he is the most untouchable fighter in history.
Lomachenko’s crowning moment would come at age 35, when he won the title of undisputed lightweight champion and rode off into the sunset. They steal the moment from great fighters to put a bullet in their career. After that, they should leave and never come back,” ProBox TV told Malignaggi.
We will remind you, Shakur Stevenson previously called on Devin Haney to have a rematch with Vasily Lomachenko.
