The famous American coach believes that the Ukrainian boxer will not stand a chance against a younger opponent.
The fight between Vasily Lomachenko and Gervonta Davis should have been organized a few years ago, then it would have been even. This is what the famous American trainer Teddy Atlas thinks.
According to the expert, the Ukrainian boxer is too old to compete on equal terms with his younger opponent.
“Gervonta has great power, but he’s great in everything else. With technique, with the ability to put pressure, with counterpunching, with his IQ. Everything that Lomachenko brings to the front, he also has. I want Vasyl to be a little younger.
Davis is 29 years old, Lomachenko is 36 – yes, I wish we were talking about this 4 years ago, but time cannot be turned back.
They seem to be moving forward with this fight and I don’t doubt my words, I’m not ashamed of my words, I think Lomachenko is a few years too late. This fight was on my bucket list years ago. I would still be interested, but not as much,” secondsout quoted Atlas as saying.
We remind you that earlier the former world champion made a prediction for the fight between Lomachenko and Gervonta.
