Teofimo Lopez is fighting Vasiliy Lomachenko next week for the undisputed lightweight title. I can say that even including Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury 2, this is the best boxing matchup of 2020 and nothing else on the schedule will top it for the rest of the year.
I’ve already done a Lomachenko Sunday Punch piece, so this week’s is all about the undefeated Honduran-American sensation.
Lopez turned professional in 2016 and unlike most boxing prospects, he was moved up the ranks fairly quickly. On December 8th, 2018 on the undercard of Lomachenko vs. Jose Pedraza, Teofimo took on veteran Mason Menard.
