Lopes named the favorite of the Heiney fight - Lomachenko

Former undisputed world champion Teofimo Lopez commented on a possible fight between former three-division world champion Vasyl Lomachenko and undisputed world lightweight champion Devin Haney.

"I hope Haynie will fight Lomachenko. I think Devin will beat Loma considering how he looked against Ortiz. But everything can change. Maybe Lomachenko needed it to shake off the rust."

"Do I think that Lomachenko is the same after the fight with me? No, no one is the same after they fight me. No one. I deal a lot of damage to these fighters and I do it in a variety of ways. I send many to knockout."

"Lomachenko is constantly moving, constantly throwing punches. When it comes to the championship rounds, you need a second wind. I do not believe that Lomachenko is an ex. I think his age is starting to show, plus he's defending his country. It seems to me that because of this he suffered a lot."

Vasyl Lomachenko defeated American Jemaine Ortiz in his last fight. For the Ukrainian, it was the first and only match in 10 months.

According to the results of the fight, all three judges gave victory to Lomachenko - 115:113, 116:112 and 117:111. For the Ukrainian, this victory was the 17th in the professional ring, for the American, the loss was the first in the professional arena.

Devin himself repeatedly declared his readiness to meet Lomachenko in the ring. In his last fight, Haynie defeated George Kambosos again and retained the WBC, WBA Super, IBF and WBO lightweight titles.
