Haney has since moved up to super lightweight, leaving the IBF 135-pound title vacant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lomachenko\u2019s pro record of 17-3 with 11 knockouts doesn\u2019t paint the full picture of his greatness. To do so one needs to look at his combined overall amateur and pro record, which reads a remarkable 414-4.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of boxing\u2019 best minds, \u201cLoma\u201d is a master technician\u2026a generational ring general with extraordinarily fluid striking and movement, all of which make him a heavy favourite over Kambosos.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/boxing\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Boxing<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kambosos, however, is no slouch. Far from it. The only two losses of his 23-fight pro career were to Haney, back-to-back setbacks he bounced back from with a points victory over Maxi Hughes to claim the IBO lightweight title last July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFerocious\u201d, who has 10 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/machibet777-affiliate.com\/boxing\/top-10-boxing-knockouts-of-2023\/\">knockouts<\/a><\/strong> to his name, is no stranger to defying the odds. His upset of Teofimo Lopez, the man who\u2019d dethroned Lomachenko, for three lightweight titles three years ago serves as the ultimate example of the 30-year-old\u2019s ability to shock the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A long-time training partner of Manny Pacquiao, Kambosos learned a lot from the legendary, multi-weight world champion, sharpening both his skills and mind. He\u2019s aggressive and uses the same in-and-out attacks \u201cPac Man\u201d employed, although not quite as proficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His style is big on speed and conditioning but lacks the crispness and sophistication of his iconic opponent. What he will have is a power and size advantage. At 5&#8217;9&#8243;, he\u2019s the taller man by two inches and he\u2019ll have a two-and-a-half-inch reach advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be surprised if Kambosos wins the early rounds as Lomachenko\u2019s always been a slow starter, one who downloads data and responds accordingly to roar back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fight against Hughes last time out was a good test for Kambosos ahead of a bout with \u201cLoma\u201d with Hughes being a southpaw like the legend. It\u2019s a test he barely passed though, eking out a majority decision, and Hughes is nowhere near the level of Lomachenko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Matrix\u201d is such a tough fighter to figure out and so precise with everything he does. Expect him to outsmart and outbox Kambosos over 12 rounds to add another championship to his collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/boxing\/boxing\/20240512\/vasiliy-lomachenko-vs-george-kambosos-jr\/\"><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Lomachenko by decision<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/boxing\/boxing\/20240512\/vasiliy-lomachenko-vs-george-kambosos-jr\/\"><strong>Best Bet:<\/strong> Lomachenko by decision at 1.57.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legendary Vasiliy Lomachenko looks to add another world title to his Hall of Fame r\u00e9sum\u00e9 when he faces former champion George Kambosos Jr for the vacant IBF lightweight championship at the RAC Arena in Perth on Sunday, writes Quintin van Jaarsveld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":525218,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","beyondwords_generate_audio":"1","beyondwords_project_id":"20741","beyondwords_content_id":"76b7304b-a413-4d22-8b05-42a59f4d8812","beyondwords_preview_token":"94867bdd-baf9-4357-b03e-f1637f171f40","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"76b7304b-a413-4d22-8b05-42a59f4d8812","beyondwords_hash":"09684b1883113afb0fd317e436eca3f8dd42d47d","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_status":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[1517],"tags":[283,236,2326,1301,2327,1190],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Lomachenko v Kambosos Preview -
