Vasiliy Lomachenko (16-2, 11 KOs) is still at the top of his game.
The former lightweight champion schooled former IBF titleholder Richard Commey (30-4, 27 KOs) in front of just under 9,000 fans at Madison Square Garden in New York. He scored a punishing seventh-round knockdown of the Ghanaian with a powerful left hand from southpaw stance. To Commey’s credit, he beat the count and even though Lomachenko gestured to Commey’s corner that they should save their fighter and stop it, they didn’t throw in the towel. Commey survived the rest of the round even though he was hurt repeatedly and on unsteady legs.
