The WBO world champion in the second featherweight Vasily Lomachenko shared his impressions of the only defeat in his career.

The Ukrainian boxer noted that at that time he was too self-confident. However, Lomachenko does not consider that the battle is a real defeat.

"If I came back 10 years ago, I would have said something to myself about Salido. This defeat, which I do not consider to be a loss, but I have in the graph is. At that time I was too self-confident, I thought that I would just take out Salido.

I believed in myself early. I would say:

"Guy, come on, you have to do it right, how can you. And, maybe, do not even agree to this fight ". We had a huge difference in weight. About 7-8 kg, "- said Lomachenko.

Recall that his only defeat in his career Lomachenko suffered in March 2014, when he lost to Orlando Salido by the decision of the judges. His next match the Ukrainian will hold on May 12, 2018 at the world famous arena Madison Square Garden. Among the possible rivals of Basil may be either Jorge Linares or Ryan Beltran.
