Although Vasily Lomachenko is still empty-handed, the former triplet and former 135-pound lightweight triplet remains one of the most dangerous boxers in this class. In a match on Sunday, Lomachenko defeated Ghanaian rival and former IBF lightweight champion Richard Commey in front of 8,555 boxing fans, cementing his No. 1 challenger position at WBC and WBO.
Lomachenko is looking forward to returning to the top
Three referees gave two 119-108 and one 117-110, and lomachenko knocked down the opponent once in the seventh round. During this period, he hit Kang Mei several times, and pretended to signal the coach of Kang Mei's boxing to quickly concede defeat and end the game. This flaunting of superiority has led many people to disagree with Lomachenko, some people like his "tribute" to Ali (Ali made a similar move against Jerry Quarry about fifty years ago), and some people think he appears frivolous.
Speaking about today's lightweight situation after the game, Lomachenko said: "I said before that I don't like to talk about myself. There are a lot of great boxers in lightweight and we can match a lot of great matches. ”
The genius of Ukraine is approaching the throne step by step
In October 2020, Lomachenko lost to Theofimo Lopez in the united war, sending the young champion to become the first quadruple in lightweight history. Lopez then rejected Lomachenko's request for a rematch, choosing IBF1 Australian George Camposos Jr. as the challenger. But Campos beat Lopez in a cold-beating last month's game, taking all his titles.
Campos is currently the WBC Chartered Champion, WBA Super Champion, IBF, WBO Champion, while the WBC (Regular) Champion is Devin Hani and the WBA (Regular) Champion is Gwota Davis. Originally, Lomachenko was facing the impact of the newcomers as a senior champion, and after two unpopular matches, he found himself attacking the throne of young people to become a champion again.
Camposos wants to fight a title-defending battle in his home country of Australia
"Yes, of course I want to play against Campos, I need this opportunity. If God gives me this opportunity, I will seize it. Lomachenko added: "I'll go anywhere I need to go to play with him!" ”
Not long ago, when Hani defended his WBC (regular) title after playing 12 rounds, Campos expressed his willingness to complete the WBC system with Hani, but he hopes to play this game in his hometown of Australia. After all, the Battle of Pacquiao/Horn was hosted here, and it was perfectly fine to accept the Battle of Campos/Hani from a commercial point of view.
Sooner or later, there will be a big battle between the new and old champions
Just considering the home field advantage created by Australian boxing fans for Horn, latecomers must be jealous of this devil's home field. Hani has not made it clear for the time being, and Camposos's four gold belts have enough temptation, so Lomachenko has shown a positive intention to do so!
In fact, before the Lomachenko/Comme battle, the organizer Arum expressed his hope that the winner of this match would have the right to be forced to challenge Camposos. Lomachenko, 33, will certainly want to return to the championship stage as soon as possible, after all, he is facing a group of opponents with a clear age advantage: Camposus 28, Davis 27, Lopez 24, Hani 23 and Garcia 23. So for Lomachenko, he really needs to speed up and get back on the throne!
