Devin Haney’s Betting Outlook vs Lomachenko

Haney aims to make the sophomore defense of his undisputed lightweight titles after back-to-back W’s over George Kambosos Jr.

The perception of how this bout would have gone when initially targeted years ago is desperately different from how that perception seems to be today from fans, pundits, and oddsmakers alike.

This is a legacy-defining fight for Haney who has a tremendous amount of visibility on this one and besting someone with the pristine resume of Lomachenko would truly bolster his own in a big way.

Haney has confidently stated that Lomachenko should have taken the fight when he was initially seeking this as a 20-year-old because it will only get worse for him the longer he waits.

There are talks of the younger, naturally larger Haney moving up to 140 pounds as his body goes through the natural maturation processes.

That is seeming like a transition that will transpire sooner rather than later but first, he must get past a man who made history with how quickly he achieved a trifecta of world title accolades.

Vasiliy Lomachenko’s Betting Outlook vs Haney

Lomachenko is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and has been a three-weight world champion within the professional ranks of the sweet science.

The 35-year-old has stated he feels like this is his last chance to become the undisputed champion and must best the youngest ever fighter to do so in the four-belt era.

He had an opportunity to become undisputed last year, Lomachenko passed on that opportunity to defend his home country of Ukraine for nearly a year amid the war, and secured a comeback win in his return last Fall.

These men are among the pound-for-pound best fighters in the sport today.

Both have incredibly high fight IQs, tremendous speed, and arguably the age gap could be the biggest variable in this one beyond the X’s and O’s of what each does well inside the ring.

Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenko Prediction

This prizefight is scheduled for twelve rounds and I can see this one encroaching on that final bell.

Haney winning via KO or TKO is slated at +700 for a reason and Lomachenko’s oddsmaker prediction to win via decision is also greater than his KO or TKO prop (+800 and +320, respectively).

I foresee value in prop bets centered on this fight going the distance (-550) and Haney winning via decision (-170).

Pick: Devin Haney (-260)
