Lopez is on a career-high since his last win over Vasyl Lomachenko. That magnificent victory adjudged him as the unified champion at the 135-pound division. Not only that, but ‘The Takeover’ won The Ring magazine’s Fighter of the year for his charismatic performance against Lomachenko.
‘The Takeover’ will confront a rugged contender in the form of Kambosos. As both fighters possess an undefeated streak, it will be interesting to see who scores his first ‘L’ of professional boxing track-record.
The ‘Ferocious’ marches ahead of Lopez with an experience of 3 fights. He has a 19-0 record with 10 wins by T/KO. Kambosos has all the weapons in his artillery to stun Lopez, but breaking the ‘Takeover’s sturdy style will prove to be a tough task for him.
Can Teofimo Lopez outsmart George Kambosos Jr.?
In his last fight against Lomachenko, Lopez showed the world that he has incredible stamina coupled with knockout power. He will look forward to employing his best skill sets in the ring against Kambosos to keep his IBF belt with him.
A win in this fight might put Lopez on top for the undisputed lightweight fight. He has his eyes keenly set on the ultimate prize, and he won’t root to budge from the same.
