Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos Jr gave it all

As promised in the pre-fight pressers, both men came in with their best side to the display. While Teofimo Lopez looked brilliant with his boxing skills, Kambosos Jr. rightly stick 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. And the same could be felt from the in-ring scene.

Lopez didn’t lose his calm and despite suffering some big shots, ‘Take Over’ 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.
