Former world light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk assessed the chances Vasily Lomachenko in the upcoming fight with George Kambosos.
“It’s interesting to see what’s left of Lomachenko today. Vasya is already 35 years old, and the weight category is not heavy. Here you always need to be sharp, combinational, and with age it becomes harder to do this. Usik is 37, but he is a super heavyweight and there are other keys to victory. Also, in the fight with Kambosos, the judges can play a key role, because in an equal fight no one will give victory to Vasya. But it seems to me that Lomachenko still has ashes in his powder flask, he must win and become world champion again. The point here is not about Lomachenko’s abilities, but about time. The belts have all been scattered, and to become an absolute he needs to have four fights, and Vasya has been boxing rarely lately. Besides, I don’t know how he feels. I’ll say this: you can become an absolute, but it won’t be easy.”
Let us remind you that the fight between Lomachenko and Kambosos will take place on May 12 in Perth.
