Devin Haney vs. Vasiliy Lomachenko was everything a boxing fan could hope.

First and foremost, Lomachenko didn’t waste any time. He’s received criticism in his recent wins for starting slowly, spending too much time “downloading” information before acting on his reads. Against an opponent as skilled as Haney, Lomachenko couldn’t afford to give away rounds.

At several points in the first half of the bout, Haney seemed to have his opponent figured out. He’d stick him with the jab, then retreat at an angle and interrupted Lomachenko’s advance with a heavy counter right. If “Loma” stayed back, then Haney would rip into his ribs with that wide right hand.

As champions do, Lomachenko adjusted. He began to really find the timing on his lead right hand, which allowed him to skip forward into his range. He’d often double the left, or follow it up with a powerful jab to reset his stance. Either way, Lomachenko’s straight shots were lightning fast in the latter half of the fight, and they started to do damage.
