Vasyl Lomachenko unified the lightweight division in only his 13th fight on Saturday night but we've got to talk about the grit and determination of his opponent, Jose Pedraza,.
In a dominant win, Lomachenko looked dominant throughout and eventually became the pound-for-pound king at Madison Square Garden by unanimous decision but many praised the courage of Pedraza.
The Puerto Rican fighter somehow survived an incredible onslaught of power-punches in the 11th.
To be honest, we're still not sure how he managed to complete all 12 rounds after this incredible 11th from the Ukrainian, but here we go. What a chin!

You've also got to praise the work ethic of Lomachenko, who somehow doesn't punch himself out after a minute of incredible combinations and power shots.
He might have knocked Pedraza down twice in the 11th but he couldn't finish with a KO, something that many praised during and after the bout in New York.
What a fighter.
