To Adam Baskin: George Kambosos Jr. is choosing Devin Haney to successfully defend his four lightweight belts against Bashir Lomachenko in May.
If Haney’s recent photos are real and not a photoshopped job, Lomachenko would fight a junior middleweight at night giving him a huge amount of weight. When you fight a class player, you can win just by being big.
To keep things fair, it’s a shame this fight doesn’t have a hydration clause. 157+ After creating the 135-pound limit, that’s too heavy for even a talented fighter like Lomachenko to handle.
Many boxing fans don’t care how much a fighter hydrates as long as he’s gaining weight. It’s dangerous if you have a fighter who can dehydrate to lose weight to fight players who are much smaller than him.
In general, it is the younger fighters who can remove a lot of weight to game the system. increase.
Now, Haney can still melt a ton of weight, but he’s at the end of the road and may need to move up to 140, preferably 147.
Haney appears to be back at welterweight, and it’s hard to believe he’ll be gaining weight to fight Roma in May.

Kambosos feels Haney is too good for 34-year-old former three-division world champion Lomachenko, who is starting to show signs of age in recent fights.
“I see Haney defending the belt against Lomachenko. I really like Lomachenko as a person and as a fighter. Father Time Caught Him And Haney Is Too Good‘” George Kambosos Jr. told Sporting News Australia, choosing Devin Haney over Vasyl Lomachenko.
“Stylistically, it’s a bad matchup for Lomachenko. It was the same for me, but that’s the risk we take as fighters. I think it’s him. [Haney] Look good in that fight, make a statement, and vacate your belt.
“At that stage, we’re going to be making plans for the next match and the belts will be empty. Big names. The big fish in the division are going to hunt their belts and I’m one of the big fish again.” Kambosos said.
