Even the pound-for-pound king is once again in action on August 31 at the O2 Arena in London, England as Vasyl”Loma” Lomachenko defends his WBA (Super), WBO and The Ring lightweight titles??while also opting for the vacant WBC strap from England native Luke”Cool Hand” Campbell. Lomachenko, the current champ, is now a massive -1800 favorite with all the Brit, Campbell, arriving back in +850 as expected.
Lomachenko (-1800) looks to expand his 12-fight winning streak and have a step closer to consolidating the four important lightweight titles. The Ukraine native possesses two of the major championships –??he would be given a third by the WBC, and a date with IBF champ Richard Commey would likely arrive after this season.
Loma is a technician in the ring, using creativity , exceptional footwork and precision. He’s a job dancing out of the manner of his competitor’s strikes, requiring angles supporting his foe??that allow??him to have an open shot at his or her chin. Over his winning streak that was present, nine victories have been by knockout or retirement.
Campbell (+850) lost the WBA and The Ring lightweight straps via split decision to Jorge Linares at 2017 — Linares ended up losing those titles to Lomachenko in May 2018. Ever since that defeat, Cool Hand has rattled by knockout, which is set him back.
The England native is tall and long for the division, with a hit, and uses his own jab very well, constantly pawing out it and working behind it. Campbell does a good job shifting his jab from top to??low and fires his strong left hand frequently behind it. He can have a propensity to leave??his shouts out a small long and does not bring the glove back to his brow immediately, which brought him into trouble with Jorge Linares.
The Ukraine native is amazing at going on the offensive and dissecting his competitor, although I expect Campbell to locate some success by using his reach and his footwork to maintain Loma away early. Start looking to get Campbell to pivot on his rear foot and grab him crossing and he’ll allow his hands fly that is heavy. The England native hasn’t been finished but he has been dropped before.
Prediction: Vasyl Lomachenko (-1800) via decision
