Ukrainian boxer Taras Shelestyuk commented on the victory of the absolute champion in lightweight Davina Haney over ex-champion in three divisions Vasily Lomachenko.
“Firstly, Vasya did not do enough to take away the title of the absolute world champion and make his dream come true. Secondly, Devin Haney had the strongest fight.
Thirdly, it is not clear why Lomachenko and his team again gave up the 12th, decisive round, because the fight was very even. Fourth, Haney is a young boxer who will bring money to those involved in his fights for many years to come. Fifth, this is not a robbery, as Lomachenko's team and Vasya himself put it.
The fight was very even, 115-113 in favor of Haney is also a normal result. To win, Lomachenko needed to dominate.
Even after the tenth round, I wrote that if Loma did not send Haney down, then he would not be given a victory on points. And so it happened,” Shelestyuk said in an episode on his YouTube channel.
