In last night’s HBO Boxing main event, WBO 130 lbs champion Vasyl Lomachenko (7-1, 5 KOs) picked apart the heavy-handed Nicholas Walters (30-1-1, 24 KOs) to successfully defend his title. The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who has an amateur record of 396-1, turned up the heat on the Jamaican in rounds 5-7, and at the end of a very one-sided 7th, Walters opted not to continue. As Lance Pugmire of the LA Times pointed out, this version of “No mas!” came exactly 36 years and 1 day after Roberto Duran quit his rematch vs. Sugar Ray Leonard.
