Vasily Lomachenko’s manager, Egis Klimas, says Loma is the best fight for Gervonta Davis in the light division now “if” returns. He says that a match between Lomachenko (18-3, 12 kos) and Tank Davis (30-0-1, 28 kos) would be “more interesting for fans” than the other boys at age 135. He has been chasing a fight against Tank since 2018 without luck.
The ‘true king’
Lomachenko can consolidate his legacy if he returns this year and defeats Tank Davis. That would be the perfect fight for Loma before retirement, since it would put the limit in his career.
The true album
Most agree that he must still be undefeated because his losses against Orlando Salido, Teofimo López and Devin Haney were very questionable. Actually, Lomachenko is 21-0 Now, and the true king of the light division.
Klimas says he sees the lightweight champion of the WBC Shakur Stevenson as a fighter who wakes up and “flees.” Financially and in terms of entertainment, it is not so attractive to the former world champion of three Lomachenko divisions to fight him. It would be boring for fans to see Shakur run around the ring, trying to win a point decision.
Lomachenko has not fought since May 12 of last year, when he knocked out former unified light champion George Kambosos Jr. in the eleventh round to win the IBF vacant title of 135 pounds in Perth, Australia. After that fight, Loma had the opportunity to fight Tank last year, but he didn’t.
“Everyone thinks Loma is ready and is out of that. Everyone wants to fight Loma. I think it’s good because if Loma returns, it would be a very good fight to do with (Gervonta) Davis, ”said manager Egis Klimas to YSM sports media About Vasily Lomachenko, being seen as washing now that he is aging and has been inactive.
Lomachenko looked better than ever in his last fight against Kambosos. That was a very rested hill that fought against a real light weight instead of a spinning welter weight, which is what Devin Haney seemed in his fight against him in 2023. As good as Loma looked in that fight, he would have defeated Tank Davis if they fight.
The best fight
“What is a Shakur and what is a tank?” Klimas said when asked what is the best fight for Lomachenko between Shakur Stevenson and Tank Davis. “Skill and financial,” Egis said, seeing Gervonta as more skilled and a better money struggle for Lomachenko.
“It is (tank) a much better fighter on my way and a next fighter. I’m not going to take anything from Shakur. He is a good fighter, but he is a bumper. He enters a shell and flees. Tank comes to fight. It is a more interesting fight. It is a more intriguing fight.
“That is what makes it more interesting. That is what makes it more interesting for fans, “Klimas said when they told him that Tank Davis is a more” dangerous “fight for Lomachenko.” At this time, Lomachenko is the best opponent to fight the tank. “
