You can't spell Vasyl Lomachenko (6-1, 4 KOs) without "KO" at the end of his surname. My incredibly witty wordplay aside, the two-time Olympic gold medalist is an incredibly gifted boxer, and at Madison Square Garden Theater on Saturday night, the Ukrainian demonstrated some vicious knockout power.
In the HBO Boxing main event against WBO super featherweight (130 lbs) champion Roman "Rocky" Martinez (29-3-3, 17 KOs), Lomachenko showed off his technical wizardry, lightning speed, and superb craft and accuracy. Just watch this right hand he landed in round 2.

Lomachenko captured the title with a left uppercut and a walloping right hook that flattened Martinez, who had less than a 0% chance of beating the count.
