Vasyl Lomachenko turned a Puerto Rican celebration into a Ukrainian holiday with a brutal knockout of Rocky Martinez to take the WBO junior lightweight title Saturday night. On the eve of Puerto Rico Day, two-time Olympic gold medalist Lomachenko was dominant. Lomachenko followed that with a stunning right that flattened Martinez, who remained on the canvas for several moments.
