Boxing lightweights Teófimo López vs. George Kambosos Jr. will take to the ring once again in a much-awaited bout. Whilst the fight is not as prestigious as the trilogy fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, fans will still be expecting a good show. Let’s check out what’s in store for us along with our Teófimo López vs George Kambosos Jr. predictions.
After much drama, the current unified WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight champion Teófimo López is set to take on George Kambosos Jr. Previously, Lopez was able to clutch a decision victory against Vasyl Lomachenko and claim his titles. Since then, Lopez has been called out by numerous opponents, with the opportunity eventually falling to Kambosos Jr. as he is the mandatory challenger to the IBF belt.
Moreover, Triller Fight Club, the original host, was found defaulting on its purse bid and trying to shift dates. Eventually, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing won the subsequent auction and will be conducting the fight. Therefore, this fight will now air exclusively on DAZN and save fans from the unnecessary $59.99 that Triller had originally planned.

Moving on, let’s take a look at our predictions for Teófimo López vs George Kambosos. According to our research and fight knowledge, Lopez (16-0) is an easy favorite, simply because he is the champion. Moreover, throughout his career, Teó has shown exceptional skill and boxing ability and racking up 12 victories by KO/TKO.
On the opposite side, we have George Kambosos Jr (19-0), the challenger to Lopez’s throne. Despite being a considerable underdog, Kambosos does have something about him. As such he has 10 victories by KO/TKO and his win against Lee Selby shows us that he has heart and is willing to go the distance.
Ultimately, we feel that Teófimo is just too good for Kambosos. Lopez is a better technical fighter, possesses great power and the stamina needed to win this fight. Although George will surely put up a good fight, “The Takeover’s reign doesn’t look to be ending any time soon. In summary, we predict that Teófimo López will win by KO/TKO.
