Where To Watch:
Why Bet on Devin Haney?
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.
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.
Why Bet on Vasiliy Lomachenko?
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 but passed on that chance to defend his home country of Ukraine for nearly a year amid the war, and secured a comeback win in his return last Fall.
Final Betting Analysis – Devin Haney vs. Vasiliy Lomachenko
This fight is going to be a banger, as these men are among the pound-for-pound best fighters in the sport today.
Both have incredibly high fight IQs and 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.
With that said, we are expecting it to be a close fight, but one that Devin Haney should win by points in the decision.
Go for a victory for Haney at -256. If you go for a win at such odds you could get $39.06 for a total payout of $139.06.
