NEW YORK - Pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko had accomplished so much in his first dozen pro fights by winning world titles in three weight classes and setting a variety of all-time boxing records along the way, but there was one thing he wanted to do that had eluded him: Unifying belts.
But the brilliant Lomachenko can now check that box off his bucket list.
Lomachenko scored two knockdowns in the 11th round and dominated Jose Pedraza to unify two lightweight world titles on Saturday night in the main event of the Top Rank Boxing on ESPN card at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
