On Saturday evening, Vasyl Lomachenko will take on Guillermo Rigondeaux at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. Lomachenko's WBO World Super Featherweight title will be on the line in the fight.

Vasyl Lomachenko is regarded as the top Super Featherweight in the world, so it's no surprise that he would be favoured to win this fight. Lomachenko has a near-perfect record of 9-1-0, with his lone loss coming against Orlando Salido in the second fight of his career.

In recent years, Lomachenko has notched wins against the likes of Miguel Marriaga, Jason Sosa and Nicholas Walters, which has helped him to carve out his position as the top Super Featherweight boxer in the world.





Rigondeaux is certainly no slouch in the ring, though he will likely be overmatched by Lomachenko. Rigondeaux has a perfect record of 17-0-0, with victories over the likes of Moises Flores, James Dickens and Drian Francisco. Rigondeaux certainly has knockout power, as 11 of his wins have come via knockout.
