Undisputed light-weight champion Devin Haney put his titles on the road in opposition to Vasiliy Lomachenko this night in Las Vegas.
Haney (30-0 Boxing) was returning to motion for the primary time since defeating George Kambosos by unanimous choice in October of final 12 months. ‘The Dream’ was seeking to earn his first stoppage victory since 2019 when he stepped into the squared circle on the MGM Grand Backyard Enviornment this night.
In the meantime, Vasiliy Lomachenko (17-3 Boxing) entered tonight’s contest sporting a three-fight successful streak, his most up-to-date being a unanimous choice victory over Jamaine Ortiz in October of final 12 months. The previous two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and three-division champion was seeking to reassert himself as one in all boxing’s pound-for-pound finest fighters with a win this night in Sin City.
Tonight’s ‘Haney vs. Lomachenko’ bout proved to be an unbelievable forwards and backwards struggle. Devin Haney appeared to get the higher of the judges scorecards within the early rounds, however it was Vasiliy Lomachenko who closed the struggle with a pair of dominant frames in rounds ten and eleven. After twelve rounds of high-level boxing motion, the competition went to the judges’ scorecards for a choice.

Lomachenko was robbed 😤

That is why individuals don’t watch boxing anymore. Constructing the younger man over the man who truly received. #boxingisdead

Sure Haney was throwing the larger more durable pictures early, particularly to the physique, and sure Loma confirmed his Championship pedigree late. #HaneyLoma
