Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Richard Commey live stream: How to watch online, start time and more

The Lomachenko vs Commey live stream sees the former looking to punch his way to the top.

One of the biggest ‘L’s of 2020 has led to the Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Richard Commey live stream, one of the biggest boxing matches of the end of 2021. This weekend, we’ll see Vasilik Lomachenko punch his way back to the top of the lightweight division, in an attempt to redeem himself after a surprising title loss to Teofimo Lopez.

Lomachenko’s likely a little frustrated that his desired rematch against Lopez hasn’t happened. Commey looks like the next best thing. And since the rest of the lightweight boxing world failed to light a spark as of late, it seems like a win here could be huge for Lomachenko. It could even propel him to a challenge against the current champ George Kambosos Jr. in 2022.

What does beating Commey prove? The 34-year-old Ghanaian held the IBF lightweight title in 2019, and has a cautious fighting style that will likely force Lomachenko to take a risk here and there. But the money’s on Lomachenko, as most people think it’s just a question of how many rounds Commey will last. Especially since Lopez took Commey out with a second-round TKO a little under two years ago (Dec. 14, 2019).

But what if Commey surprises us all? After all, Kambosos did beat the odds against Lopez. It would likely send him to face Kambosos (though the victor there feels a bit easier to predict than if Lomachenko wins).

Even worse, a loss to Commey could put Lomachenko on the ropes. Maybe he would try fighting at 130 pounds, but he wouldn’t return to that class with a lot of steam behind him.

Lomachenko vs Commey live streams in the US

In the US, Lomachenko vs Commey is going to be broadcast on ESPN Plus (which appears to start earlier, with a 5:30 p.m. ET time listed, which likely has prelim matches) but you don’t really need that service when the main card is also going to be on ESPN. And ESPN isn’t just available on most cable packages, it’s on two of our favorite streaming services: FuboTV and Sling TV.

The main card starts at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT Saturday (Dec. 11).

ESPN is also on Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, but we recommend Sling and Fubo.TV, two of the best streaming services in our opinion.

And as for which you should pick? It’s a case of “you get what you pay for” as Sling Orange & Blue (which you’d need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo.TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.

If you can stand to miss CBS games, Sling TV provides a middle ground. The $50 per month Sling Orange + Blue package has FOX affiliates for this game, as well as local NBC affiliates plus ESPN.
