Lomachenko, Ukraine’s true champion, secures IBF crown with knockout victory over Kambosos
Ukrainian boxing great Vasiliy Lomachenko triumphed over George Kambosos in an intense showdown in Perth, winning the IBF lightweight world title in the 11th round. Lomachenko, also known as “Loma”, dominated the fight, dropping Kambosos multiple times before the referee stopped the bout. The victory marked a significant milestone in Lomachenko’s impressive career, adding the IBF lightweight belt to his collection of accolades in different weight classes.
Despite being the heavy favorite, Lomachenko faced a hostile crowd at the sold-out RAC Arena but remained focused on his goal. The 36-year-old boxer showcased his skill and experience throughout the match, adjusting his strategy to neutralize Kambosos’s attacks and deliver powerful blows of his own. Lomachenko’s victory solidified his status as one of the best boxers of all time, leaving Kambosos with respect for his opponent’s talent and determination.
Kambosos, a former champion who had defeated Teofimo Lopez, struggled to match Lomachenko’s pace and precision in the ring. Despite his pre-fight bravado, Kambosos was unable to back up his taunts and acknowledged Lomachenko’s superior performance. The Australian fighter gave his all in the ring but ultimately fell short against the Ukrainian boxing legend, suffering his third loss in 24 fights.
The undercard fights also produced notable results, with Mexican Pedro Guevara controversially defeating Andrew Moloney for the interim WBC super flyweight belt. Moloney, who announced his retirement after the fight, cited frustration and injuries as reasons for his decision to leave the sport. Additionally, Australian Cherneka Johnson claimed the women’s WBA bantamweight belt in a hard-fought battle against England’s Nina Hughes, showcasing the competitive spirit of female boxers in the sport.
Overall, Lomachenko’s victory over Kambosos in the IBF lightweight world title match was a testament to his skill, determination, and perseverance in the ring. The Ukrainian boxing legend’s impressive performance solidified his reputation as a true champion and one of the greatest boxers of all time. As Lomachenko celebrates his latest title win, fans and critics alike are left in awe of his exceptional talent and unwavering commitment to the sport of boxing.
