Theo considers the outcome of the battle unfair
Former World Lightweight Champion Teofimo Lopez criticized the result of the battle between Devin Haney And Vasily Lomachenko.
“How did Haney win? These people don’t understand anything about boxing. There is ring control, right? Ring control is what the judges look at. Loma had it. They look at accurate shots, number of shots, right? Loma hit more than Haney.”
“They say Devin won the rounds because he landed some body shots? Only a few blows to the body here and there. But Loma interrupted him. While not all of his punches landed, he showed he was there to fight. Devin backed more, looked at his father and said: “Dad, help me. I do not know what to do. He counted me.”
Lomachenko lost to 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, indicating 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 fight and defended the undisputed lightweight title of the world 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 the mandatory contender for the lightweight belts owned by Haney.
