Regarding some of the most versatile pound-for-pound fighters on the planet, Vasiliy Lomachenko might top the list. Vasiliy Lomachenlo was set to take on George Kambosos this weekend. Lomachenko was a class apart from George, as he finished him well before the twelfth-round bell. Lomachenko hit Kambosos with 170 strikes, of which 110 were power punches. He also showed his defensive prowess as he was hit by only 40 strikes by George.
Vasiliy Lomachenko once again became the world champion. He can take on quite a few guys inside the ring, and in this article, we look at some of the possible contenders.
1. Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenko
Vasiliy Lomachenko lost his world title to the American boxer Devin Haney. Devin Haney is one of the few boxers who have made Vasiliy taste defeat in the ring. Haney lost to Ryan Garcia last month via a unanimous decision after it became challenging for him to deal with his opponent’s left hook in the bout. Lomachenko will be willing to take on Devin and avenge his loss to get back his belt from the American.
2. Teofimo Lopez
Teofimo Lopez is another boxer who defeated the Ukranian in the ring. Lopez was able to outstrike him throughout the fight and even dropped him a couple of times by hitting him with some of the brutal body strikes in the company. After acquiring his newfound confidence, Vasiliy can look to avenge his defeat from a few years back.
3. Ryan Garcia
Regarding new challenges, Lomachenko and Garcia are separated by a weight class. If they agree to a catch-weight, it can be one of the most significant bouts they get involved in boxing. Garcia is one of the biggest stars in the boxing world, and his stock has gone through the roof since last month. If they are to fight in the ring, it could be one of the biggest matchups in the world.
