Ukrainian lost to Devin Haney by unanimous decision
Promotion Vice President Top Rank Carl Moretticommented on the defeat of the Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) in a duel with the undisputed world champion in lightweight Devin Haney (30-0, 15 KOs).
“It was a great, spectacular and very competitive battle. In my opinion, 116-112 is a bad score. 115-113 to any corner or 114-114 would be the best reflection of what’s going on in the ring.”
“An appeal will definitely not change anything. Nevertheless, we have always believed and will continue to believe in Vasily. His age doesn’t matter at all, we support and will always support Lomachenko.”
Lomachenko lost to Haney in the fight for the title of undisputed world lightweight champion. By unanimous decision of the judges, the victory was given to Devin: 116:112, 115:113, 115:113. The sports community spoke out about the unfair decision of the judiciary.
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.
Lomachenko himself could not hold back his tears after losing to Haney. After the fight, the Ukrainian did not comment on the decisions of the judges, only noting that “everyone saw what happened today.”
