The former opponent of both boxers considers the Ukrainian athlete the clear favorite of the confrontation.
Teofimo Lopez spoke about the fight between Vasily Lomachenko and George Kambosos. We remind you that the American has previously met with the same boxer.
The WBO world champion at junior welterweight considers the Ukrainian boxer the favorite in the future confrontation.
“Lomachenko will not only stop Kambosos, but he will make him look like a rookie that night. Mark my words: it’s different when you face Lomachenko. It’s different. You have to get in the ring with him to experience it. But it’s great. You know what? Respect to Kambosos. He will face one of the toughest fighters in the lightweight division, Vasiliy Lomachenko.
I was waiting for Loma to punch him. Do you know how angry Lomachenko was after he beat Haney but wasn’t awarded the undisputed title? This year will come back with renewed vigor. He’s going to take what he’s learned from war to boxing, and it’s not safe. Lomachenko is already a dangerous fighter. Trust me, I know this. I fought him when he was at his peak.
So this is a good turn of events. This is what I can say: Vasiliy Lomachenko, I will avenge Haney for you, and you will avenge George Kambosos for me. We’ll do it together, brother. Don’t worry, we’ll tame all these guys in our weight classes,” Lopez told BoxingScene.
We remind you that Lomachenko and Kambosos will fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title on May 12 in Australia.
