Luke Campbell believes he “put a a big dent” in Vasiliy Lomachenko before the Ukrainian star’s recent loss to Teofimo Lopez. The British lightweight watched with interest as his last opponent Lomachenko suffered a points defeat to Lopez in October, 14 months after Campbell had emerged with credit from a decision loss to his fellow Olympic gold medallist.New unified champion Lopez received credit from Campbell for an impressive win, but the Hull man has also questioned whether he chipped away at Lomachenko’s confidence and durability in their fight at The O2 last August. “I wasn’t too impressed with him, to be honest with you,” said Campbell. “He fought a guy who is not far off 40-years-old, who took the fight for money, and you could see that.“He was really trying to get him out of there and he went the 12 rounds. His boxing ability is good, don’t get me wrong, but he should be stopping guys like that if you’re as good as what everybody is saying.“Gamboa has always been known for not having the best chin and really he’s a featherweight. He’s a blown-up featherweight. I’m not going to sit here and slate him off, but I will say I wasn’t that impressed.”
