Boxing World Reacts To Lomachenko Winning Lightweight Unification

Pound for pound boxing star Vasyl Lomachenko chalked in another impressive performance this weekend as he added another world title belt to his collection at Madison Square Garden.

The Ukraine boxing machine defeated Jose Pedraza to add the WBO title to his WBA ‘Super’ 135lbs collection and march on towards big fights in 2019.

He didn’t have things all his own way though and credit should also be given to Pedraza who gave a strong account of himself on the night.

Here is some of the early reaction to the result from around the boxing world:
