Vasiliy Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs) not only defended his WBA and WBO lightweight titles, but he also took the vacant WBC strap with a unanimous decision win over Luke Campbell (20-3, 16 KOs) in front of an appreciative crowd at The O2 Arena in London, England.
It was a hard-fought win for the Ukrainian, despite the lopsided scorecards. Campbell had good stretches of offense throughout the contest, but Lomachenko is just a cut above the rest, and showed why he’s considered the best boxer in the world. An 11th round knockdown was a culmination of great body work and precise punching from Loma, who also hurt Campbell in the 12th round and ended up getting taken down by Campbell.
