Video: Official Weigh-in- Vasyl Lomachenko 125.lbs vs Gamalier Rodriguez 126lbs

Two-time Ukrainian Olympic gold medalist Vasyl “The Great” Lomachenko (R) and Gamalier Rodriguez (L) of Puerto Rico weigh in for their undercard fight on the Floyd Mayweather – Manny Pacquiao card.

The Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao pay-per-view undercard is topped by a fight featuring WBO Featherweight World Champion Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KO) taking on Puerto Rican contender Gamalier Rodriguez (25-2-3, 17 KOs). The pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® beginning at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT.

Arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all-time, with two Olympic gold medals and two Amateur National Championships, 27-year-old Lomachenko has already made a great impact in the professional ranks. He won his world title with a majority decision over Gary Russell Jr. last year. Making the second defense of his 126-pound title, the fighter out of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine will be going for his third straight win overall when he battles Rodriguez.

An accomplished veteran from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Rodriguez gets an opportunity on boxing’s biggest stage when he battles Lomachenko. The 28-year-old has not lost a fight since 2009 and has 17 consecutive victories since a technical draw in 2010. He won twice in 2014, picking up a unanimous decision victory over Orlando Cruz and a second round TKO over Martin Cardona.
