If Petrauskas hadn't been robbed to the bone, we'd at least get to see him send Lomachenko off with a punishing beating to the body (even if Lomachenko ultimately won, he'd have been pissing blood until well into his ABP career :thedevil1)

No robbery, but would've loved to see the Lituanian rushing ahead vs. Loma.

 

What a show by the Ukranian! Toyage. 7-2.

 

Round 1

Lomachenko circles and uses body feints, making Han throw and pull his 1-2 to give away his habits. Lomachenko is watching him, looking for an opening. Very few connects. Han keeps floating his left jab out but Lomachenko is circling with enough space to stay off it. Now Lomachenko rushes in and bangs the body until Han drops his arms. Right hook by Lomachenko. More circling by Lomachenko, and he blocks a 1-2 stepping forward. Right hand to the forehead by Han. Hard left to the body by Lomachenko.

IB's score: 5-1 to Lomachenko

 

Easy work for Lomachenko.

 

Judges' scores: 7-2 to Lomachenko.

 

11-5, a little less action in the 2nd.

 

Round 2

Han dances around on his toes. Lomachenko drives through with a powerful left to the body, and one up top. Han brushes the air with his jab, then moves in to clinch with his arms enveloping Lomachenko's head from above. Lomachenko blocks a jab and circles left, squatting and stalking. Left hand to the chin by Lomachenko. Clinch. Right hand blocked and left hook dodged as Han continues to not commit to his punches and consequently not land. Lomachenko steps in, gets Han starting to load up a right, then pulls back. Lomachenko is driving Han mad with all these fake outs. Lomachenko moves left, then bobs and weaves straight inside to land a left to the body. Clapping hooks up top by Lomachenko, as Han covers up.

IB's score: 4-0 and 9-1 to Lomachenko.

 

Judges' scores: 4-3 and 11-5 to Lomachenko.

 

Dominating!

 

Round 3

High left hand by Lomachenko, then shoving off from Han. Straight flurry into the guard by Han. Lomachenko takes big swipes to the body with his left. Han pokes him with a right to the body from outside while stepping back. Han jabs into the guard but can't place the right cross with Lomachenko's constant head movement. Shoeshine to the body by Lomachenko. Han catches Lomachenko coming in and flurrying, then lazily keeps his guard down as Lomachenko steps out and whacks him with a left hand to the face. Lomachenko is given a light warning (not a penalty) for holding. Right jab to the eye by Lomachenko coming up off his feet, circling side to side the rest of the way.

IB's score: 4-2 and 13-3 to Lomachenko.

 

Judges' scores: 8-4 and 19-9 to Lomachenko.
