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 going for the vacant WBC strap from England native Luke”Cool Hand” Campbell. As anticipated, the current champ is a tremendous -1800 favored with the Brit, Campbell.
Lomachenko (-1800) looks to extend his 12-fight winning streak and have a step closer to joining the four important lightweight titles. The Ukraine native possesses two of the significant championships –??also a date using IBF champ Richard Commey would come later this season, and he would be given a second by the WBC.
Loma is a tech from the ring, with creativity exceptional footwork and precision. He does a tremendous job dance out of the manner of his competitor strikes, taking angles. Over his 12-fight winning series that was current, two successes have been by retirement or knockout.
Campbell (+850) dropped the WBA and The Ring lightweight straps through split decision to Jorge Linares at 2017 — Linares ended up dropping those titles to Lomachenko in May 2018. Ever since that defeat, Cool Hand has rattled by knockout, that is put him in line.
The England native is tall and long for the division, with a 71-inch reach, and uses his jab well, constantly pawing it out there and functioning behind it. Campbell also does a great job and fires his left hand behind it. He can have a propensity to leave??his punches out a small and doesn’t bring back the glove to his chin immediately, which got him into trouble with Jorge Linares.
The Ukraine native is incredible at moving to the offensive and dissecting his rival, although I anticipate Campbell to find some success with his reach and his footwork to keep Loma off early. Look for Lomachenko for Campbell to pivot on his foot and catch him crossing over and he will allow his heavy hands fly. He has been dropped in the past although the England native has never been completed.
Prediction: Vasyl Lomachenko (-1800) via decision
