Ukrainian War Veteran Vasyl Lomachenko looks to further nail down his place in the fluid Lightweight division against former Unified Lightweight Champ George Kambosos Jr this Sunday 12, May 2024 @Hometown RAC Arena, Perth, Australia. That would be May 11th early AM American time because of the Time Zone differences in Down Under Oz compared to America.
Kambosos, 21-2, 10, KO pitched his single bout master class against the mercurial Teofimo Lopez who held the belts then, The Problem being he was soon belted out of all his belts by the WBC champ Devin Haney who pulled off the duplicate win in the rematch. Now it’s take care of Business or get off the Pot time for Kambo who may not be too much longer in this business. The IBF lightweight title will be on the line after Haney vacated to move up to Jr Welterweight glory.
The 36 year old boxing Wiz Lomachenko is well into his creaking years after a stellar Amateur and Professional career, yet still challenging the best in spite of his modest 17-3, 11 KO record. No doubt he’s a big favorite to win in a big fashion in spite of also being beat by Haney. The difference between the two fighters in this match up is that Kambosos was thoroughly outboxed in both his Haney bouts, whereas a large segment of fans thought Lomachenko beat Haney, yet was robbed as happens routinely in boxing.
ESPN is the broadcaster, so there it is for this weekend…Amen…
