Teofimo Lopez Claims to End George Kambosos Jr. in One Round- “He Is Too Small”

Published 11/24/2021, 10:53 PM EST

Unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez doesn’t believe George Kambosos Jr. has what it takes to become an elite-level 135 pounder. Despite his rival’s undefeated record and bold claims, Lopez envisions himself stopping the fight in the first round. He has all the reasons to remain confident. However, a rival like Kambosos Jr. clearly calls for some respect.

That said, ‘The Takeover’ isn’t ready to offer any. He has belittled the Australian star’s chances against him in an in-ring affair, just days before locking horns. When asked to predict an outcome of their 12-rounds headlining battle, Lopez had a pretty simple response.

In a chat with iFL TV, Teofimo Lopez said, “One round man, one round. He is too small. People didn’t tell this kid man, he is a 130 pounder, He ain’t a 135 pounder, I can see on his body, he a natural. If anything. He is better off at 130 than 135. He ain’t ready for this and I am gonna show this boy. I’m gonna show him. I mean, like if it ain’t, if it ain’t nobody that learned. It’s gonna be him.”
