I fully expect a Lomachenko win but it's silly to use triangle theories. Ali washed Foreman, Foreman obliterated Norton and Frazier, Norton and Frazier took Ali to hell and back multiple times each. Styles make fights.
Kambosos is the bigger, younger man and as a 36 year old lightweight Lomachenko's reflexes/punch resistance/gas tank could fall off a cliff at any time.
Again, I expect Lomachenko to win decisively. But Kambosos has a shot. The way he performed against Lopez, Selby, and Bey in three straight fights as a road b-side proves he has some dog in him. Look at how quickly Pacquiao declined from Thurman to Ugas. It can happen overnight to older guys, especially in the lower weights.Comment

Like I've said several times, I think Lomachenko will win decisively. But Kambosos has a chance. He has a new trainer and he's the bigger, younger man with nothing left to lose and he's fighting at home. If Lomachenko has aged too much or he brings his B game like he did against Ortiz it could be close.Comment

Loma of course is the more talented guy.
But Kambosis is a counter puncher with lightning fast reaction time and Lomachenko is a pressure fighter.
Not the typical pressure fighter yes but Kambosis is also not your typical counter puncher.
Kambosis likes to throw with you. He doesn’t back pedal like most counter punchers.
He punches between your shots and throws at the same time as you. He holds his ground more than your typical counter puncher.
Of course Loma ain’t your typical pressure fighter. He doesnt walk you down behind a high guard and he doesn’t physically bully you, but instead he uses angles, head movement, and hip movement along with his good feet to keep you off balance.
i think this is going to be a brutal chess match especially since both guys have no quit in them.
Loma is the favorite but don’t be surprised if Kambosis Teofimo’s him.Comment

I'm basing my opinion on how mediocre Kambosos looked against Hughes, whom I saw defeat him.Comment
