In one of his most stellar performances in the ring, lightweight kingpin Gervonta Davis went one better than his long-time rival Vasiliy Lomachenko. Forever linked with an eventual super fight with former world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko during the Olympic hero’s gleaming career in the sport, current WBA lightweight titleholder Gervonta Davis failed to ever face the Ukrainian. However, when paired with a certain common foe, Davis would prevail in more impressive fashion than Lomachenko — who struggled quite badly. Kicking off an active 2017 inside the ring, Davis would cement his status as top super featherweight star with a seventh round knockout win over Pedraza. Winning world championship gold at just 22-years-old, Davis would watch on as Lomachenko welcomed the pursuit of Pedraza in a lightweight move just a year later.
