Boxing is not just a sport that is all about avoiding being hit, but it's also reflective of how a boxer strikes in return. And while the all-time legend Muhammad Ali certainly stands out in this regard, Ukraine's Vasyl Lomachenko has been busy redefining the art in the modern-era of boxing.

For a man who's had an unbelievable amateur career, two world championships and two Olympic gold medals, Lomachenko can not only move fast, but he can hit just as fast - something that even an experienced campaigner like Floyd Mayweather seemingly forgot later in his career.

The movement of the 28-year-old lightweight boxer is undoubtedly commendable, but it's his ability to defy the laws of time and space to return a barrage of punches with precision that makes him a cut above the rest. His 2015 bout against Romulo Koasicha, who had a stellar record of 25-4 with 15 KOs before the fight, is a classic example where he outclassed his Mexican opponent with sheer pace combined with right hooks and body shots.

His inhuman skills have also got his fans and boxing enthusiasts convinced that he's probably in 'The Matrix'. His live bouts are likened to the one similar to a highlight reel with the Ukrainian consistently pulling off a stunt to wow his fans in almost every round.

Given his credentials and exploits in the ring, the ever-increasing comparisons of Lomachenko with the great Ali only seem fair.

So, if you are yet to see Lomachenko live in action, then tune in on Saturday night to catch a glimpse of the Ukrainian's artistry as he squares off against dangerous Jamaican puncher Nicholas Walters in Las Vegas.
