Rocky Martinez got slept, as the kids say.

The former WBO junior lightweight champ saw Vasyl Lomachenko take the belt after getting knocked out cold in the fifth round of their title fight Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

When Martinez woke up, he had a front row seat for Lomachenko's celebratory backflip, captured in this great photo by Rick Schultz.

Lomachenko then dedicated the win to "the greatest man who ever laced up gloves, Muhammad Ali."
