Devin Haney On Vasily Lomachenko: "I Never Said I Wouldn't Fight Him Again"

By Brian Webber: Undisputed light-weight champion Devin Haney says he by no means mentioned he wouldn’t give Vasily Lomachenko a rematch.

Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) states that he would battle the previous three-division world champion Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) once more if it “is sensible.”

The principle situation that will stop Haney from pulling the set off on a rematch towards the 35-year-old Lomachenko is cash.

Devin will desire a bump in pay from their earlier contest towards Lomachenko, which he received by a controversial twelve spherical unanimous determination on Could twentieth by the scores 115-113, 116-112, and 115-113.

Given how poor Haney regarded towards Loma, he ought to take an enormous pay lower relatively than a rise.

For peculiar folks working 9-5 jobs, after they carry out poorly, they might get laughed out of their bosses’ workplace in the event that they tried to get a elevate. They’re fortunate in the event that they’re not laid off.

Sadly, the Haney-Lomachenko didn’t usher in numerous PPV buys, which suggests a rematch will most likely not usher in huge numbers, both.

Lomachenko’s promoter Bob Arum would wish to gamble on excessive fan curiosity for a rematch, and that will be a foul danger on his half.

When followers pay to see fights that finish in controversy the place one man is robbed, they keep away from the rematch as a result of they don’t need to get ripped off once more. Because the saying goes, “Idiot Me As soon as, Disgrace on You; Idiot Me Twice, Disgrace on Me.”

If Haney can be prepared to simply accept an individual, a rematch might occur, however he’s most likely not going to do this.

Haney’s wins over Lomachnko and George Kambosos Jr might flip him right into a Tyson Fury kind of fighter who’s troublesome to barter with because of his inflated sense of self-worth.

“I by no means mentioned I wouldn’t battle him once more. My dad mentioned I’d by no means battle him once more. I by no means mentioned I’d, or I wouldn’t battle him once more. I’ll battle anyone if it is sensible and every thing aligns, and it is sensible,” mentioned Devin Haney to The Danza Project when requested a few rematch with Vasily Lomachenko.

One factor about me, if I can beat anyone as soon as, I can beat them twice. Nothing’s come throughout my desk that is sensible but, but when it does, then it does.”

It’s secure to say that Haney will NEVER battle Lomachenko once more and can try and get fights towards Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez & Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero.

If Haney overprices himself for these fights, he’ll wind up empty-handed and might want to goal Regis Prograis and Subriel Matias. These are fights that Haney might lose, so he’ll solely battle these guys if he’s struck out along with his makes an attempt at getting fights with Tank, Ryan, Teofimo & Rolly.

Haney’s finest wins are lower than stellar, beating the aforementioned Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr. Devin didn’t battle any of the killers at 135 by dealing with these guys.
