The Ukrainian boxer Vasily Lomachenko has risen at once on two steps in a rating of the best boxers of the world under the version of the authoritative portal BoxRec.

After the spectacular victory against the Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux, "Loma" took the second place in this list. Now, our compatriot is second only to the 27-year-old Mexican Saul Alvarez, who has spent 49 fights in his career.

It is interesting that the WBO World Champion in the second featherweight category holds the first position in the ranking for the title of the best boxer by the average number of points earned for a duel. Here's how Lomachenko's recent successes were commented on by his promoter Bob Arum.

"Lomachenko.

I'm not even sure he's a man. Sometimes it seems to me that he is a superman, some superman. Rigondeau - it's not you anyhow who. Rigondeaux seemed unbeatable. But against Lomachenko, the Cuban did not know what to do. He was completely embarrassed. All that Rigondo tried to do, it was hiding from Basil's blows, but he still found the opportunity to strike an accurate blow, "- quotes the words of Arum BoxingScene.

Recall that recently Lomachenko received a prestigious award.
