VIDEO: Teofimo Lopez Crashes George Kambosos’ Interview to Make an Absurd Claim

Boxing is full of surprises, but Teofimo Lopez losing his lightweight titles to George Kambosos Jr. wasn’t really a shock to several people. On looking at the first few rounds, it was clear that Kambosos Jr. was looking to win and destroy ‘The Takeover’. Although Lopez stood strong, he couldn’t register a successful title defense.

‘The Takeover’ stood strong for all 12-rounds. He even knocked down his opponent. However, he suffered the same in return and lost the fight via split decision to go 16-1 as a professional boxer.

Post the fight, Lopez crashed into George Kambosos Jr’s interview and delivered his raw emotions. He was clearly unhappy with the result and bashed the judges’ decision.

Teofimo Lopez said, “Hell of a fighter but I won tonight. Everybody knows that. The referee raised my hand and I won tonight. I don’t care what anybody says.” (H/T:- Brian Campbell)

While two undefeated boxers locked horns for the 135 lbs titles, one of their 0’s had to go. Unfortunately, it was Lopez who had to see it happen against an opponent whom many considered the underdog. Here’s a detailed look at the fight.

Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr. was full of action

Putting all four world lightweight straps at stake, Teofimo Lopez came across a harsh reality in the very first round. George Kambosos Jr. looked impressive and found loopholes in his rival’s game. Not to mention, he exploited them fully and dropped ‘The Takeover’.

However, Lopez got back up instantly and dropped Kambosos Jr. in reply. It set the road clear for an exciting battle for the rest of the night.

However, ‘Ferocious’ impressed the judges and earned his spot at the summit of the lightweight division. Given the close decision, a rematch could be on the cards.
