December 8th is going to be a truly spectacular night if you’re a combat sports fan. Not only is there UFC 231, but the top boxing offering of the evening is a Top Rank on ESPN tripleheader headlined by Ukrainian phenom Vasyl Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) taking on Jose Pedraza (25-1, 13 KOs) in a lightweight championship unification bout.
Lomachenko is considered by many to be the #1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world, and when you watch him in the ring and consider the opponents he’s beaten, it’s more than valid to rank him at the very top.
