[Boxing] Kambosos vs. Lomachenko on May 12

[bbc.reporter]

@Everyone. It is official. Kambosos and Lomachenko will fight on May 12 in Perth, Australia. We have witnessed that these former champions have lost to the undefeated Devin Haney, however, they remain very good fighters, I reckon. I am also quite certain much of the boxing fans also have the same opinion.

It also appears that they will fight for the vacant IBF lightweight championship that Haney left after he moved to a heavier weight division.



Australia’s fighting emperor and former unified world champion, George Kambosos Jr., is on a mission for a new belt. Standing in his way is a Ukrainian fight legend, Vasiliy Lomachenko, a three-division world champion intent on writing another triumphant chapter in his Hall of Fame career.

Lomachenko and Kambosos will clash for the vacant IBF lightweight world title as part of a world title tripleheader on Sunday, May 12, at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. Two additional world title fights will be announced in the coming weeks.

Also, the sportsbooks appear to like Lomachenko very much hehe. I also like him, however, this 1.13 might be very low.

I think odd makers still think that Loma didn't lose to Haney and so they have to put Loma still at a huge favorite against Kambosos. And this fight is supposed to happen, but as we all know that Loma need to go back to Ukraine and defend his homeland.

And then both lost to Haney although as I have said, Loma's lost is somewhat controversial, as there are fans who think that he takes over the second half of the fight and then won. Even Haney knows something is not right,

It's all good for Top Rank, all in-house money for Bob Arum, and winner becoming the champion for him. I think it's just right that Loma is the outstanding favorite in this fight, he might start slow again though, and Kambosos will have to take it early.

But as the fight goes, Kambosos just like his lost to Haney, has faded in the latter rounds specially if his bread and butter is not hitting the target. I think Loma will used his quickness here and maybe stop Kambosos late or win in the judges scorecard.

@bbc.reporter. Sorry but I think we already have a thread for that.
