Two-time Olympic champion Oleksiy Tishchenko said that the Ukrainian boxer Vasily Lomachenko should act more actively in a duel with the American Devin Haney, then he will not be left without a well-deserved victory.
“Lomachenko had every chance to win. But the judges handed it over to the American Haney, given that they were all American and the fight took place in Las Vegas.
I think Vasily won this battle with a slight advantage – somewhere in two rounds. In America, you need to win more confidently against the American champion. And Vasily had every chance for this. Tishchenko should hold himself solely responsible for this outcome.” “Match TV”.
