Undefeated Ukrainian wins world boxing title by knockout. Video
Ukrainian Yaroslav Mykhalushko (8-0, 7 KOs) became the WBC world youth welterweight champion. In the main fight at the boxing night in Vynnyky, the 23-year-old native of Kolomiia won the vacant title by knocking out Mexican Oscar 'Yeyo' Molina Espinoza (9-1-1, 4 KOs).
From the opening seconds of the fight, Mykhalushko seized the initiative in the ring. The opponent could do nothing to counter the ramming blows of our compatriot, often being pressed against the ropes and eventually knocked down.
After getting up, Espinoza went into survival mode. In the 2nd and 3rd rounds, the 22-year-old fighter from Mexico City found himself back on the canvas of the Emily Resort ring, but this time without any knockdowns - he just slipped.
Mykhalushko continued to push him aggressively, simply hitting his opponent without stopping. The denouement came in the 4th three minutes: the Ukrainian landed a magnificent combination that was fatal for Espinoza. Two left punches to the liver and a head kick ended the fight with a knockout.
