Boxer from Belgorod-Dnestrovsky Odesa Region Vasyl Lomachenko prematurely won a 12-round fight against Japanese Masayoshi Nakatana. This is reported Sport.ua.
The evening of boxing by Bob Arum and his promoter company Top Rank took place on the night of June 27 at the Virgin Hotels arena in Las Vegas.
Despite the very tall height of his opponent, Lomachenko quickly adapted and began to hit accurately from the first minutes. At the end of the first round, Lomachenko received a cut on his forehead due to a clash of heads, but during the break, the catman stopped the bleeding, and this did not play a special role in the future.
In the fifth round, Lomachenko sent Nakatan to a knockdown before the gong.
The denouement came in the 9th three minutes. After a powerful attack by Lomachenko, the Japanese sat down in the ring, the referee stopped the fight and recorded the victory of the Ukrainian.
Now Lomachenko's main goal is to hold a rematch against Teofimo Lopez and take it away from the American belts lost in the previous battle.
