A powerful right hand followed by a punishing left to the body moments later was Vasyl Lomachenko’s way of demonstrating his fight IQ was working just fine, ready to solve the challenge before him in typical “Loma” fashion. The two punches scored back-to-back knockdowns of Jose Pedraza in the 11th round on the way to a unanimous decision (119-107, 117-109 and 117-109) before a sold-out crowd of 5,312 fans on December 8. A crowd of boxing fans wearing Ukrainian shirts, proudly waving Ukrainian flags and banners, loudly chanting “Loma” and “Lo-ma-chen-ko” during the 12-round affair.
