The lightweight title fight between Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos Jr. started off in a manner that we all had expected. The young gunners delivered haymakers from the start and scored early knockdowns over each other. It clearly raised the bar for the remainder of the fight.

The intensity could be felt from several more factors, including the referee’s fall at the end of round three. Following two rounds of heated battle, round three saw Lopez and Kambosos Jr. look to smash each other. They charged each other with brutal shots and didn’t seem to bother about the clock.

While round three ended, the referee had to step in and hold one of them. But unfortunately, he fell down. DAZN’s social media handle was quick to post it. They hilariously labeled it as a ‘knockdown’ of the referee. Following the interesting incident, we could see the fight get better after every round.

Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos Jr. gave it all

As promised in the pre-fight pressers, both men came in with evil intentions. While Teofimo Lopez looked brilliant with his boxing skills, Kambosos Jr. rightly stuck around his rival. From right hands to scary combinations, the Australian boxer had it all in the store. However, he was facing an undefeated unified world champion who remained unperturbed.

Lopez didn’t lose his calm and stuck to his game plan. It didn’t benefit him in the early stage, but having faced a master like Vasyl Lomachenko, Lopez had sufficient experience on board to handle a surging star-like ‘Ferocious’ Kambosos Jr.
