Bill Haney “Optimistic” Devin Vs. Lomachenko Fight Takes Place
Devin Haney’s dad, Bill, says he’s “optimistic” that the legacy fight against Vasyl Lomachenko will be happening next after the two met inside the ring last Saturday night following Loma’s victory over Jamaine Ortiz in New York.
Bill says Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, ESPN, and Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) are all on board and ready to make this fight happen next.
Lomachenko squeaked by Ortiz (16-1-1, 8 KOs) by a 12 round unanimous decision in a fight that looked to many boxing fans as a 7-5 match, with Loma pulling out the victory by sweeping rounds 10 through 12 against a badly fatigued previously unbeaten Jamaine.
Bill didn’t anything about whether Haney will have problems making weight for the Lomachenko fight because he looked a lot bigger than him inside the ring, resulting in Loma saying that he resembled a “heavyweight.”
Obviously, Lomachenko was joking, but he would have been dead on correct if he’d said that Devin looked like a junior middleweight. It wasn’t a pretty picture watching Haney eat pizza while attending Lomachenko’s fight last weekend.
If Haney can’t make weight for the fight, his four lightweight belts will still be up for grabs for Lomachenko to win. However, it’ll be tough for Loma if he’s outweighed by 20+ lbs by Haney on the night.
Haney looks bigger than Jamaine Ortiz, who appeared to have a 10 to 15-lb weight advantage over Lomachenko.
