Feud between Vasiliy Lomachenko and Devin Haney explained

There’s been a lot of controversy regarding the decision of the fight between Haney and Vasiliy. According to many boxing analysts and fans, the decision should have gone in Lom’s way. The Ukrainian boxer also addressed the issue in his most recent interview.

“I watched a repeat of this fight, and my score was 8-4. My score was subjective, but real score is close to 7-5. After twelve rounds, I was sure I won this fight, and I was very happy.” Loma said.

However, Lomachenko isn’t optimistic about a rematch as he thinks Devin is scared of taking such a risk. The two-time Olympic gold medalist thinks Devin should go for a rematch to protect his legacy.

“He was talking about legacy before the fight. But if you’re talking about legacy, you need to make a rematch. He needs to make his revenge in a rematch, but it’s all in his hands.” Loma added.
