IBF lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez believes that it will be an easy night for him when he faces Unified lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko on October 17.
If not for the COVID-19 hurdles, the lightweight thriller would have happened by now. However, it’s not too far till the lightweight champions put their respective world titles on the line against each other. While Lopez (15-0) is still undefeated in his pro run, Lomachenko (14-1) has a defeat against Orlando Salido on his resume. That said, Lopez vows to hand him another loss when they collide inside the ring.

“It ain’t going past three, I am putting money on it too coz I can’t stand (him),” said Lopez.
If happens for real, Lopez will become the new unified lightweight champion, advancing his pro record to 16-0. However, he should also be ready for a long night, especially when he is stepping against someone like Lomachenko. ‘Loma’ had a sensational run in 2019 with back-to-back wins against Anthony Crolla and Luke Campbell. Thus, you can never write him off in a fight.
