This week brings us another exciting bout, as WBO super lightweight titleholder Josh Taylor will fight Teofimo Lopez in a highly-anticipated match-up. The event will take place at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
About 16 months ago, Taylor faced off against Jack Catterall, and they went through a very close fight, with Taylor emerging with a split-decision victory. Following the fight, there was a lot of talk about a rematch, but Catterall decided to move on. Taylor is currently focused on counting down the number of fights at super lightweight.
Although Lopez has only been in the ring for about seven months, he was able to pull off a close victory against Sandor Martin. With that in mind, it’s interesting to see how the former champion will perform against Taylor, who is a southpaw.
