Lomachenko: I do not think that I will knock Rigondeaux out

WBO super featherweight champion Vasily Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) says that he is determined to defeat Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs) by a judges’ decision. "I do not think I can knock Rigondeaux out. I'm set on a full distance and judges’ decision. Rigondeaux is a good boxer, he has a diverse style of boxing. He tries to move the whole fight in the ring, he tries to show interesting boxing.

Cuban boxers have an interesting style, to which they have a good school and traditions. The Ukrainian boxing school also has good traditions. About 7 years ago I, Usyk and Gvozdik were discussing professional boxing. Then Usyk confidently said that he would go to the professionals after the Olympics in London, and Gvozdik doubted it. But now we are together trying to show the world that Ukrainian boxing is, the Ukrainian boxing school and our traditions," Lomachenko said.
