Teofimo Lopez defeats Vasiliy Lomachenko via unanimous decision to become world's No 1 lightweightTeofimo Lopez upset Vasiliy LomachenkoVasiliy Lomachenko fell to a unanimous decision defeat to Teofimo Lopez in their world lightweight title unification fight in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Undefeated IBF champion Lopez tore away Lomachenko's WBA, WBO and WBC 'franchise' belts in a significant upset of the pound-for-pound great who was rated as the world's top boxer. But Lomachenko had a difficult time against Lopez who was naturally larger and more powerful, and nine years younger, and whose pre-fight trash talk was backed up impressively. The last 10 seconds was a brawl that many had hoped for much earlier and Lopez emerged with a small cut. Lopez Sr was a hustler but also the only member of the family to attend his son's wedding when others disapproved.
