By Chris Williams: 122-pound champion Guillermo Rigondeaux saw WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko’s win over 2nd tier fighter Miguel Marriaga last Saturday night, and he believes he can knockout the 2-time Olympic gold medalist if the two of them face each other. Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) defeated Marriaga (25-3, 21 KOs) by a 7th round stoppage at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The fight was televised on ESPN.

By Chris Williams: Vasyl Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs) will be defending his WBO super featherweight title tonight against Colombian Miguel Marriaga (25-2, 21 KOs) in a fight that Top Rank hopes will take their champion’s career to the next level at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. This is NOT the fight the fans in the boxing world want to see for Lomachenko.
By Donavan Leonard: When WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs) steps into the ring this Saturday August 5th on ESPN, it will not be against an opponent for whom anyone wished. Lomachenko and his team had tried to lure Orlando Salido back into the ring so that he could avenge his only professional defeat.
By Chris Williams: Mikey Garcia’s trainer Robert Garcia took issue with Vasyl Lomachenko and his promoter Todd Duboef of Top Rank saying that they weren’t impressed with Mikey’s performance last Saturday night against Adrien “The Problem” Broner.
By Chris Williams: Vasyl Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs) is defending his WBO super featherweight title this Saturday night on August 5 against the recently beaten featherweight Miguel Marriaga (25-2, 21 KOs), and lightweight champion Mikey Garcia’s trainer Robert Garcia is not pleased about the fight.
By Chris Williams: Super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko says he doesn’t need to fight 122-pound champion Guillermo Rigondeaux. Lomachenko wants the boxing fans to know right up front that he DOES NOT need to fight the undefeated former 2-time Olympic gold medalist Rigondeaux. But if a fight between the two former Olympic gold medalists take place, Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs) says he would destroy Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs).
By Dan Ambrose: WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko is fighting the recently beaten featherweight Miguel Marriaga on August 5 instead of a rematch with Orlando Salido (44-13-4, 31 KOs), because the Mexican star turned down an offer of $720,000 for the fight with Lomachenko. At least that’s the story from ESPN.
By Chris Williams: Rather than take a fight with unbeaten Guillermo Rigondeaux, WBO World super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko will be facing the recently twice beaten featherweight Miguel Marriaga (25-2, 21 KOs) next month on August 5 on at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. Lomachenko-Marriaga will be televised on ESPN and ESPN Deportes starting at 10:00 p.m. ET. This should be an entertaining fight if Marriaga has anything left from the punishment he absorbed in his recent loss.
By Rob MaClean: Shawn Porter (27, 2, 1, 17Ko’s) managed to pull off an impressive TKO of Andre Berto (31, 5, 24Ko’s) in Brooklyn, New York, by scoring a TKO victory in round 9. In what was an extremely entertaining slug fest between two welterweights it was the wrecking ball that is Shawn Porter who offered too much for Andre Berto this evening.
