StubHub Center, Carson, California - Two-time Olympic gold medal winner Vasyl Lomachenko (2-1, 1KO) won a twelve round majority decision over previously undefeated Gary Russell Jr. (24-1, 14KOs) to capture the vacant WBO featherweight championship. The scores were 114-114, 116-112, 116-112.

It was a chess match in the first four rounds, but Lomanchenko exploded with punches to the head and body in the fifth. Russell came back to put in the better work during the sixth. Russell was controlling the seventh until Lomachenko fired off big combination in to get him in trouble during the final minute, and then Lomachenko worked him over with wicked shots to the head and body.

Russell sucks...got exposed bad. He looked very amateurish. Kind of reminded me of Amir Khan, just throwing and hoping to land something.

This kid is going to be scary good. And for a long time too.

He just totally outclassed one of the hottest up and coming fighters in the sport of boxing.

Lom is going to go a long way! He may end up being 20-1 with tons of title defenses over the next few years.
