“I Don’t See It Passing Any Past Like Six Rounds”- Teofimo Lopez Believes He Will Knockout George Kambosos Jr.

Unified 135 lbs champion Teofimo Lopez is confident about defending his titles against the unbeaten Australian in George Kambosos Jr. next. Still fresh from his win over Vasyl Lomachenko, Lopez hunted for several names in the lightweight division before setting on ‘Ferocious’ George.

Meanwhile, ‘Take Over’ Lopez has acknowledged his nearing adversary for his commendable achievements. However, he envisioned that he will stop him within the first six rounds. The 23-year-old connected with NEXGEN Sports and previewed his upcoming fight for the fans.

“He (George Kambosos Jr.) is in front of me, he is my mandatory, and the whole thing you know really now is you know, just going out there and finishing with a knockout,” said Teofimo Lopez.

He added, “But we see how this fight goes man, but I don’t see it passing any past like six rounds. But you know, gotta give the guy credit and see what he brings.”

Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr.–What are the stakes of the fight?

The lightweight fight might have met an official confirmation, but it is yet to see its final date and venue. According to reports, both men will face off somewhere between May and June. Despite being only the IBF mandatory to Lopez’s crown, Kambosos Jr. will have a chance to put his hands on the other titles too.

‘Take Over’ currently holds the WBA (super), IBF, WBO, and WBC (franchise) lightweight belts. So, it is a high-reward fight for Kambosos Jr, but it won’t be an undemanding task  for the Australian.

Lopez is one of the most skilled and reputed fighters at 135 lbs, and looking at his current form, he seems invincible. So, Kambosos Jr. may have to push his limits to take away Teofimo Lopez’s crown.
