In a highly anticipated lightweight debut, Vasiliy Lomachenko (18-3) delivered a stunning first-round knockout victory over Jorge Linares (47-5) on Saturday night.

Lomachenko, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-division world champion, controlled the fight from the opening bell. He landed a series of powerful punches that staggered Linares early on.

With just over a minute remaining in the first round, Lomachenko landed a crushing left hook that sent Linares crashing to the canvas. Linares was unable to beat the count, and Lomachenko was declared the winner by knockout.

The victory marked Lomachenko's first fight in the lightweight division, and it was a dominant performance. He showed his superior speed, power, and skill, and he proved that he is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

After the fight, Lomachenko said that he was happy with his performance but that he still has room for improvement.

"I'm still not satisfied," Lomachenko said. "I made some mistakes, but I'm learning. I'm going to keep working hard and improving."

Lomachenko's victory sets up a potential showdown with Mikey Garcia, who is considered one of the best lightweight fighters in the world. A fight between the two would be one of the most anticipated fights of the year.
