Lomachenko outpoints brave Campbell to add the WBC title to his collection.

WBA and WBO World lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko 14-1 (10 KOs) added the vacant WBC title to his coveted collection with a twelve round unanimous points decision over Luke Campbell 20-3 (16 KOs) in a bout between Olympic gold medalists on Saturday at the 02 Arena in London. The early rounds very very competitive and even though Lomachenko had a definitive round five, Campbell was consistently in the fight.. Luke briefly troubled Loma in the 7th, but was himself troubled in return by the persistent champion.. Loma put Campbell on the floor with a body shot in the eleventh and hurt him repeatedly in the 12th.
Scores were 119-108, 119-108, 118-109. Loma has now unified three of the four major championship belts..
Campbell boxed out of his skin on the night and posed Lomachenko a lot of issues with his height and style.. Lomachenko was always in the drivers seat, but by no means had everything his own way.. On this type of performance, Luke would have beaten almost any lightweight in the world on Saturday, it just so happened that he faced someone quite extraordinary..
