By Rob Maclean: In what was deemed a technical chess match between two amateur greats, Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8ko’s) and Guillermo Rigondeaux’s (17-1, 11ko’s) first in a lifetime battle, was little more than a mismatch. Ukraine’s Vasyl Lomachenko didn’t, at any point, allow Cuba’s Guillermo Rigondeaux to fight his style, until the beginning of round seven, when a perplexed and confidence shot Rigondeaux waved the white flag. Of course it’s difficult to claim a hand injury when the Cuban failed to land any real telling blows throughout the fight. Ultimately it was clear that Rigondeaux was beaten physically, but more telling than that, he mentally capitulated.
