Vasiliy Lomachenko has halted George Kambosos Jr in the eleventh round to bring back the IBF lightweight title at the RAC Field in Perth, changing into a four-time champion across three different weight classes.
The sell-out Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine got back from an extended decrease following a dangerous misfortune to Devin Haney to censure his rival over 10 rounds before dropping him precisely on time in the eleventh. Kambosos beat the count yet Lomachenko immediately shut it and dropped Kambosos again with a few body shots, which impelled his corner to tap out.
Lomachenko, 36, won fundamentally the entire round in a masterclass execution before 14,147 fans, out landing Kambosos by a 175-40 edge as per Compubox’s punch assessments.
My strategy was to change what my rival, Lomachenko said after the battle. This is the very thing that I did in the battle. Around the fulfillment of the rounds, I expected to end on a good note. In the last three rounds, I was trying to find his body. Afterward, Lomachenko looked out for a mid-battle tweet from Gervonta Davis saying the pair would battle next after Davis’ battle with Plain Martin one month from now.
You know, during my boxing business I’ve never gone around and I’ve regularly taken battles, Lomachenko said. After I rest a little, we can look at what’s to come.
Kambosos shot to differentiation with a shocking 2021 shocker of Teófimo López for the IBF, WBA, and WBO lightweight titles at 135lbs, just to lose them in a four-belt unification meeting with Haney the next year.
This individual is truly phenomenal ever, Kambosos said starting there. We set forth a genuine endeavor, yet he’s a good boss. He legitimizes that belt. I did everything possible with it.
I’m as of now alive, I’m truly standing. I ain’t dead.
