Spring Vs Autumn…who will blossom after budding, yet who will dry, parch, crackle and wither on the vine, during a premature fall, this Saturday in Las Vegas, when Undisputed Lightweight Champion Devin Haney defends his laurels against the Old Master leftie Vasiliy Lomachenko.
Both use smarts to inflict smarting well executed, resonating, precise, pinpoint blows. Both have exceptional ring IQ`s and both know full well that whoever wins will be the Swot of Swats….in a class of their own/won. The teacher`s ruler in this no margin for error tutorial. Who will doff to the Prof?
While Devin is younger, bigger and fresher, Loma is the acknowledged seasoned maestro, The Old Master and the former champ, who is determined to vamp plus stamp his authority, to place himself back on to the church spire pinnacle, with realistically one last chance to reach that exalted summit in this rarefied atmosphere, which is rather more ideally suited to young hearts, reinforced by nimble pins.
At the World Boxing Council`s Martes a Cafe, which included a seafood lunch, celebrating its eighteenth golden year, President Mauricio Sulaiman, contemplated and lightly touched upon the hors d´oeuvres segments, leading up to Saturday night`s main course of Dream Vs Loma. He said:
“They are without doubt, the creme de la creme of boxing. Haney has proven over and over again, he`s a great champion. While Lomachenko is a legendary double Olympic champion and as a pro a great world champion in three divisons. It`s going to be an absolutely great fight. Lomachenko is a warrior. He`s going to try his best so that the young man doesn`t defeat him, so he`s going to give of his best, and this will be an historic fight.
“If Devin Haney wins, he will be a Superstar. He`s already a star. Victory will propel him to the even higher level. This is why this fight will be so absolutely fascinating!”
