Devin Haney is set to square off against Vasiliy Lomachenko on May 20 in the fighting capital of the world, Las Vegas. Haney is the undisputed lightweight champion and all of his belts will be on the line. This means, Lomachenko has an opportunity to become champion again and will make sure to cut no corners to be the victor. The stakes are as high as they can get for any lightweight bout and both fighters appear to be in incredible shape.

The fans made sure to share their reactions to the picture. Here are a few fan reactions:

A fan named Igwe Ugo does not credit his shape to having any role to play in the fight. He stated, “Shape doesn’t matter if the weight ain’t right… and he doesn’t look like he’s anywhere near 135lbs in that photo”

One fan named Roberto Montaño mentioned that carrying that much weight ahead of the fight does not favor him. He stated, “Yeah but that’s not 135. That’s the hardest part. He body frame as he grows is gonna be hard.”

While, one fan was impressed to see his physique at his weight and stated, “Damn shredded and his face isn’t sucked in. I’ve been 135-138 walking weight and never looked even close”
