Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg believes that Vasyl Lomachenko will emerge out victorious against Teofimo Lopez when the duo lock horns tonight. Loma and Lopez will fight each other for their respective world lightweight titles, and the winner of the fight will take it all.

That said, both world champions have got their equal chances of winning. While Lomachenko has more experience than Lopez in the professional run, the latter has got some quick hands and an undefeated record in his favor.

However, Wahlberg hails Lomachenko as the pound-for-pound number one and offers all his supports to the Ukrainian champion. No wonder it has already put a lot of weight on Loma’s shoulders as we get closer to the fight.
