PHOTOS: Lomachenko vs. Crolla Weigh-ins
Yesterday in Los Angeles the city mourned the loss of community leader and rapper Nipsey Hussle. His funeral was held at the Staples Center, the iconic home of the Lakers, the Clippers, and the Kings.
But just outside the somber gathering, facing off against yet another underdog dance partner, stood perhaps the greatest boxer of his generation in Vasiliy Lomachenko.
Tonight, Lomachenko fights mandatory WBA lightweight challenger Anthony Crolla. Lomachenko's WBO lightweight belt is also on the line.
Photos from yesterday's weigh-ins, including light heavyweight Gilberto Ramirez, and super lightweight Arnold Barboza Jr., are below.
