Gervonta Davis angrily SPOKE OUT There Is ‘No Doubt’ Lomachenko Ducked Him: “He’s Done It Before, Rabbit”


Gervonta Davis and Vasiliy Lomachenko were all set to ramp up negotiations for a lightweight unification fight before the latter pulled out due to a lack of motivation.


The elite Ukrainian recently won the vacant IBF World Title by being the first man to stop George Kambosos Jr, a win that lined up well with ‘Tank’ Davis successfully defending his new WBA belt against Frank Martin by knockout.


The door was open then for a clash between the champions – something Lomachenko wanted years prior – and Bob Arum’s Top Rank said initial talks were positive. Things changed when Lomachenko’s manager, Egis Klimas, said his fighter wouldn’t be out again this year as he wasn’t motivated.

Speaking to Sean Zittel, Hall of Fame fighter turned analyst Time Bradley was full of praise for the Ukrainian but couldn’t call the move anything other than a ‘duck.’

“This word that’s being used … Duck. That he ducked. I thought about it, and I’m thinking I was hard on [Tyson] Fury when he the negotiations fell through with Usyk. I gotta be fair across the board. You wanna call this a duck? It’s a duck. There’s no doubt about it. It’s literally a duck.

But I think it’s something deeper. Loma’s the type of guy that don’t duck any smoke. However, when I look at him and how he’s been behaving of late, I think about the fact that this isn’t one time, this is twice now. Shakur Stevenson was a part of Top Rank that had Loma, Shakur wanted that fight. Loma said he didn’t want the fight. He pretty much said it. Not only did he duck Shakur, also he ducked Tank.”

Bradley went on to say that the three-weight world champion, at 36-years-old, may call it a day – although word from his camp suggests otherwise.

“Fighters, we know what we can do and what we can’t do. I’m sure him and his team don’t want him to go out on his shield, getting knocked out or getting embarrassed. He fought Kambosos cause he knew that was a fine he could win and he could win the belt, and go out on a high note. I think this is it for Loma, I don’t think he returns. And I only say that cause this is the guy that don’t duck any smoke.”
