Former three-division world champion Jorge “El Nino de Oro” Linares recently told the media that if current WBA lightweight titlist Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) were to face IBF lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) in a unification bout, he believes Davis would knock out Lomachenko.
Linares said, “This is a dangerous fight for Lomachenko, but he’s ready. Lomachenko is at the end of his career. But this is a big fight for the fans, and Lomachenko is in danger. If they clash, Davis will win by TKO. Lomachenko is very fast, with many angles. How did Davis perform in his last fight? The same as always – he was losing on points from rounds 1 to 5, but then he found his rhythm.”
Lomachenko could face Davis in a 135-pound unification bout in November. Most people are currently favoring Davis, who is only 29 and in his prime, while Lomachenko is 36 years old.
