George Kambosos Jr. Claims Vasyl Lomachenko Doesn’t Have The Dog In Him Anymore

George Kambosos Jr. doesn’t believe that Vasyl Lomachenko has the dog in him anymore.

Lomachenko and Kambosos are set to fight this weekend for the vacant IBF lightweight title. It’s an intriguing matchup, and Kambosos believes Lomachenko is still one of the smartest boxers, but he doesn’t think he has the dog in him anymore.

“He has an IQ like the Albert Einstein of boxing,” Kambosos told BoxingScene… “A 100 percent Lomachenko has a lot left in the tank. But I don’t believe he has that dog inside of him anymore. I don’t think he wants it as bad as I do right now. You can never overlook a guy like Lomachenko. I’d be the biggest idiot if I were to do that. Lomachenko is an all-time great and a guy we have a lot of respect for. We are preparing for the best version of Lomachenko. Once that bell rings, the respect is out the door and it’s time to do the job.”

With George Kambosos Jr. not thinking Vasyl Lomachenko has the dog in him anymore, he says the plan is to make this fight a brawl as he believes that is where he will have success.

“I’ve had a tremendous game plan and camp, with fantastic sparring partners who emulate Lomachenko to a T, and I have game plans from A to Z,” said Kambosos. “You have to adapt against a guy like Lomachenko. Lomachenko has great IQ and he’s tremendous on the feet, but he likes to come forward, too. We have our own tricks up our sleeves. Do we have to bully him? We’re going to wait and see. I’ll be ready to adapt, and it will be an electric fight to remember.

“I’m very explosive and dynamic. I fear no man. I step to the best. My resume speaks for itself. I want a tough action fight. I want a brawl. This is exciting and motivating, against a fighter I’ve admired and manifested fighting. The atmosphere is going to be incredible,” Kambosos said.

Kambosos Jr. enters the bout as a sizeable +460 underdog against Lomachenko.
