Record and other details for Lomachenko and Kambosos

Following a defeat at the hands of Devin Haney in April last year, Lomachenko’s record currently stands at 17-3-0. The Ukranian is 5.7” tall with a 65.5″ reach, which might be a problem for his Australian opponent! Guess what? George Kambosos is in a bit of a familiar pickle, just like Vasyl Lomachenko. They’ve both had to swallow the bitter pill of two consecutive losses, courtesy of Devin Haney.

Despite those setbacks, Kambosos did snag a victory against Maxi Hughes back in July. Now, his pro record stands at 21 wins and 2 losses, with a height of 5’9″ and a reach of 68″. That reach could give him a bit of an edge over Lomachenko. But hey, even with those stats, Lomachenko’s still the crowd favorite heading into the ring.

Alrighty, folks, with all the stats laid out, it’s time to get pumped for the big showdown down under tonight! Now, as for predictions, it’s a tough call. George Kambosos has the numbers on his side and that recent win, but Lomachenko’s got that star power and experience that’s hard to ignore. Can Kambosos pull off an upset and shock the world? Or will Vasyl Lomachenko live up to the hype and dominate the ring? Buckle up, because this one’s gonna be a nail-biter!
