Some attention-grabbing information from down below. George Kambosos Jr, who as we all know faces Vasiliy Lomachenko in Perth, Australia in a matter of hours, would possibly get one other massive struggle subsequent – whether or not he defeats Loma or not. Kambosos’ promoter Lou DiBella informed Fox Sports activities Australia how Kambosos, if he “nonetheless seems like a world class fighter” within the Lomachenko struggle, may land a rematch with Teofimo Lopez afterward this 12 months.
As followers know, Kambosos upset Lopez two-and-a-half years in the past in a detailed struggle, with Kambosos taking the world light-weight titles. Teo has been hungry for an opportunity at revenge ever since. Now the WBO champ at 140 kilos, Lopez is about to face Steve Claggett in June. Assuming Teo wins – and most of the people are assuming he’ll accomplish that – it may very well be the return with Kambosos, the one man to have crushed Lopez, subsequent.
As DiBella defined.
“If George performs effectively there’s all the time the [Teofimo] Lopez struggle as a result of he kicked Teofimo’s rear finish,” the promoter stated. “In order that struggle will all the time be there so long as George nonetheless seems like a world class fighter. And I’ve no motive to imagine he received’t as a result of George is a world class fighter and I do know he’s going to offer an awesome efficiency Sunday. The query is, will it’s sufficient to beat Lomachenko?”
“Win, lose or draw,” DiBella stated, Kambosos, as long as he places on present in a aggressive struggle, may get the Lopez rematch in his subsequent struggle. So, will this information serve to offer Kambosos sufficient added incentive and motivation to attain the upset over Loma (Loma is the decide to win in almost all quarters)? It may effectively do the trick.
And a return between Kambosos and Lopez will surely be an attention-grabbing struggle. Lopez appeared nice in successful his second world title in as many weights when he dominated Josh Taylor, and it might be attention-grabbing to see if Kambosos may beat that model of “The Takeover.”
Kambosos, who has vowed to defeat Loma and retire him within the course of, will likely be in an awesome place if he will get the win over the previous pound-for-pound king and future Corridor of Famer. Whereas Kambosos may nonetheless be in a reasonably good place even when he loses to Lomachenko however seems adequate to persuade DiBella his man remains to be a world class operator.
As for Loma, if he wins the struggle in Perth, he may face Shakur Stevenson subsequent, as Bob Arum has already talked about.
