Jeff Mayweather Predicts Winner in Lomachenko-Haney Fight

Renowned American coach Jeff Mayweather recently discussed the upcoming fight between lightweight world champion Devin Haney and Vasyl Lomachenko.

According to the expert, the American is the favorite in the title bout.

"I like both Haney and Gervonta Davis. When their fight is arranged, I'll have something to say, but for now, I'm not focused on that. Don't get me wrong, Haney has to defeat Lomachenko first. I believe he's going to win."

"Devin, like Teofimo Lopez, will be too big for Lomachenko. However, if Lomachenko begins fighting from the first round, unlike Teofimo, it will be a good contest for both sides. In the Teofimo fight, he didn't really engage until the sixth round. You can't give away six rounds and expect to win. There are only 12 rounds in a fight. At most, that would result in a draw," Mayweather shared in an interview with YouTube channel AHAT.

As a reminder, the Haney-Lomachenko fight is set to take place on May 20th in Las Vegas, USA, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Previously, Usyk's promoter offered a prediction for the title match.
