Official result: Vasyl Lomachenko def. Guillermo Rigondeaux by TKO (retirement) at end of round 6
Vasyl Lomachenko and Guillermo Rigondeaux was billed as a matchup between two of the brightest and most accomplished amateur boxers in the history of the sport. Both men were two-time Olympic gold medalists, world champions as professionals, and this showdown in front of a sold out Madison Square Garden Theater crowd was expected to be fascinating viewing.
It wasn’t even a struggle.
Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs) did just about anything he wanted against Rigondeaux (17-1-1 NC, 11 KOs), who pulled out of the fight at the end of round six, citing an injured hand.
