Recently, former American world light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver and former two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter spoke to the media about a possible 135-pound unification bout between Davis and Lomachenko that could take place this November and is currently under negotiation.
Tarver said: “Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KO) has very agile footwork, and any fighter will find it difficult to lock onto him. We know that even when Lomachenko is backed against the ropes, he maintains movement, and I expect them to have an intense battle in the center of the ring. Lomachenko has a good chance of defeating anyone.”
Porter said: “This is a very good match, but it’s hard to predict now that Lomachenko will defeat Davis (30-0, 28 KO). If I were to predict probabilities, Davis has a 65% chance of winning, while Lomachenko has a 35% chance.”
In May this year, Lomachenko knocked out George Kambosos Jr. (21-3, 10 KO) in the 11th round, capturing the IBF 135-pound world title. Based on that fight, Lomachenko’s form was pretty good. Although Davis is young and in his prime, defeating Lomachenko will not be easy.
