Spence: There is nothing special about Lomachenko

IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. (23-0, 20 KOs) shared his expectations of the fight scheduled for May 12 between Jorge Linares (44-3, 27 KOs) and Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs).

"It will be a good fight. I do not think that Lomachenko will force Linares to surrender, like all his previous rivals. He is able to win by knockout, but it will be much harder to do. Of course, everyone will predict Lomachenko's victory, but I believe that Linares has chances. 6-7 years ago I sparred with Jorge. We worked well with him.

"I have a feeling that Lomachenko is a little stronger, but Linares is able to win. I do not see anything particular in Lomachenko. He has excellent technique, but there is nothing supernatural about him. They just make a star of him," Spence said in an interview to FightHubTV.
