Fight Details & Start Time

The Undercard

Before the main event Lomachenko vs Kambosos, other fights will entertain the fans in the co-main fight, Andrew Moloney will face Pedro Guevara for the interim WBC super flyweight world title, and Nina Hughes will defend her WBA bantamweight title against Cherneka Johnson.

Lomachenko Betting Analysis

Vasiliy L. Lomachenko (17-3, 11 KOs) is a ring genius noted for outstanding footwork, timing, and ability to adjust to a fighter’s style. The 36-year-old Ukrainian has already been a world champion in three different weight categories, which puts him on the list of the most skillful boxers of his generation.

However, in his last bout, Lomachenko lost controversially to Devin Haney, a decision that many felt Lomachenko had done enough to win. Despite that, “Hi-Tech” remains a top force in the lightweight division, with vast experience and technical mastery that makes him an intimidating opponent.

To triumph over Kambosos, Lomachenko will need to outbox him with his great boxing IQ and adjustment abilities as the rounds go on. His main skills in achieving this will be angling, distance control, and landing pinpoint combinations to offset Kambosos’ aggressive style.

Lomachenko’s biggest weakness might be his age; he has looked as though he’s started to slow down a bit in the last couple of fights. But if he can maintain his trademark speed and agility, he’s got the tools to outbox and frustrate Kambosos over the course of 12 rounds.

Kambosos Betting Analysis

George Kambosos Jr. (21-2, 10 KOs) caused hysteria in the boxing world when he defeated Teofimo Lopez to become the unified lightweight champion in 2021. Since then, the 30-year-old Australian fighter has become a favorite in the weight class.

With his unwavering grit, tenacity, and determination, Kambosos has established himself as a formidable boxer who never backs down from a challenge. His relentless pressure and fighting spirit make him a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

After losing the belts to Devin Haney in his next fight, Kambosos controversially won the IBO lightweight belt by outpointing Maxi Hughes. He now faces one of the greats of our era and must rely on his unwavering self-belief, boxing skills, and use of his size and reach to keep the Ukrainian at bay.

Kambosos’ best chance of winning the fight would be to turn it into a brawl and test Lomachenko’s determination in the later rounds. However, he must be cautious of Lomachenko’s exceptional counterpunching ability and avoid getting hit while maintaining his persistence throughout the fight.

Lomachenko vs Kambosos Tale of the Tape

Lomachenko vs Kambosos Prediction:

In my opinion, Lomachenko is likely to win this fight against Kambosos Jr. This is mainly because of advanced fighting skills and vast experience in the top echelon of the sport. Although Kambosos Jr. has proven to be a worthwhile opponent, Lomachenko’s technical expertise should ultimately secure him the victory.

I expect Lomachenko to basically use his feet and timing to frustrate Kambosos in the early going before he settles into the rhythm and starts picking his shots through the middle rounds. The Aussie will certainly have his moments and may even put Lomachenko in some uncharted waters, but I see the Ukrainian pulling this one out by a hard-fought unanimous decision.

It is possible that the scorecards may be close, considering the size of the hometown crowd and Kambosos’ ability to make a late comeback in fights. However, Lomachenko’s exceptional skill set and overall ring generalship are likely to win him the judges’ favor.

Saturday Boxing Pick:

• Lomachenko by Decision or Technical Decision (-175)
