It is always a pleasure to see a boxer with great technical qualities. But it is even more so if that boxer is Vasyliy Lomachenko, one of the fighters with the most refined technique today. And if he also has a real marvel in front of him, a fighter whose knockout percentage is 90% such as Richard Commey, we can say that the table is set to enjoy a real battle at Madison Square Garden.

This fight will serve to put the winner in the race to have a fight for the world title. It should be remembered that both were champions of the lightweight category until they ran into the American (with Honduran descent) Teófimo López, so it will not be unreasonable to think that the winner of this duel could have a rematch against “The Takeover”, or even against the unbeaten new lightweight champion, Australian George Kambosos Jr.
