Devin Haney remained the undisputed lightweight champion with an unpopular unanimous decision victory over former pound-for-pound king and three-division champion Vasiliy Lomachenko in front of a sellout crowd of 14,436 fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday night.

"Lomachenko is a future Hall of Famer. It was a blessing. He was my toughest opponent by far. He is very crafty, and we put on a great fight for the fans," Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) said after retaining the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine lightweight titles.
This was a nip-and-tuck affair. Haney used bodywork and his jab to ward off Lomachenko's brilliant footwork and clean punching. In the end, the judges saw it in favor of Haney with scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113. By the sound of the heavily pro-Lomachenko crowd, it was the wrong decision.
