‘Lomachenko Would Devour Haney’ – Teofimo Lopez Makes a Bold Claim
Follow Us
Weeks after their heated exchange, Teofimo Lopez has aimed shots at WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney once again. The unified lightweight champion talked about the current 135 lbs scenario and didn’t credit the existing champions enough.
Instead, he hailed his former rival Vasyl Lomachenko and backed him to topple many A-listers of the modern age.
Teofimo Lopez said, “Vasyl Lomachenko would beat all those guys, all those guys. Lomachenko would beat up Tank, Lomachenko would devour Haney, Lomachenko would beat Shakur… Even though Loma’s on his way out, he’s still got enough to beat these guys.” (H/T:- Michael Benson)

As Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney, and Shakur Stevenson all have been undefeated world champions and currently have their titles, they will remain levels above the former lightweight champion Lomachenko. Alternatively, ‘Hi-Tech’ has proven his worth enough to be considered a modern-age elite.
Resurrecting himself from the loss against Teofimo Lopez, Lomachenko scored a sensational TKO win against Masayoshi Nakatani in June. He will now face Richard Commey in December.
On bagging another win, we can expect him to challenge for a world title shot soon, possibly in a rematch against Teofimo Lopez.

Lomachenko has constantly demanded the rematch since losing the fight last year, but Teofimo Lopez denied him the chance. He chose George Kambosos Jr. as his first challenger, but that fight has yet to happen. Meanwhile, Lomachenko’s return to action has validated him to re-demand the rematch against Lopez.
If ‘Take Over’ successfully beats Kambosos Jr. next, he shall have to defend his belts against the Ukrainian master. As Lomachenko is just one win away from entering the title ride, the young champions should get ready to trade punches with the veteran.
