VASILIY THE VICTOR

Vasiliy Lomachenko stopped Jorge Linares in the 10th round of their lightweight championship fight at the Garden, winning a title in his third weight class in just his 12th pro bout. Lomachenko landed a hard left to the body during a flurry of precision punches that sent Linares to a knee. Linares finally got up just as the count was reaching 10 but referee Ricky Gonzalez called an end to the fight at 2:08 of the round.
