The lightweight division was on display over the last month, with the 135-pound top dogs—Vasyl Lomachenko, Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis—picking up wins and a new star, George Kambosos, emerging following a stunning upset over Teófimo López. Meanwhile Terence Crawford made his first statement at welterweight and an old lion reclaimed his place on the pound-for-pound list.
