Why is Teofimo Lopez at a Safe Boxing Betting Pick?

  • Record: 16-0-0

Born in Brooklyn, New York, USA, Teofimo Lopez has been fighting professionally for 4 years and maintains an undefeated record. His previous fight against Vasyl Lomachenko in October 2020 is by far the most significant of his career, which earned him three titles that he now puts on the line against Kambosos Jr.

The 23-year-old stunned the entire world after taking down arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the history of boxing. This win was one for the books as he entered the ring as the underdog. Nonetheless, he proved everyone wrong after putting on a show and bullied the heavily favored Lomachenko.

Moreover, his portfolio features notable wins against several heavy hitters such as Richard Commey and Masayoshi Nakatani and. In return, this skyrocketed his rankings right near the top despite age and experience. This weekend marks his first fight in 2021 and promises to satisfy the cravings of fans as he takes on the first challenger.

We expect the New York native to put his exceptional reflexes to use, allowing him to close down on his opponents and slip punches while firing back efficiently. Also, he utilizes straight punches that land with good accuracy and weight. With his skillset and ability to read his opponents well, he gets the upper hand in this square off.

Meanwhile, Kambosos Jr. brings something different to the table. He is a completely different fighter physically compared to Loma. Kambosos Jr.boasts greater reach and height advantage. However, he does employ familiar boxing skills. The last time we’ve seen Kambosos put in a clinical performance was against Welsh boxer Lee Selby.

The “Ferocious” found himself on the wrong side of the tracks once again as the underdog. But eventually, he found his footing and made his way to the win. Now, the 27-year-old sets his sights on the IBF title as he takes a shot at dethroning the top fighter in the lightweight division.

We expect Kambosos Jr. to use his physical advantage against the champion. He also has the power to put down his opponents with 10 knockouts in 19 fights. The Australian boxer stands tall at 5”9.5, which is half an inch more than Lopez. This is uncharted territory for his opponent, as he is more used to having the size advantage. With the right tactics and patience, Kambosos can deliver surprising results. Nevertheless, he will have to be at his best to produce another showstopper this weekend if he wants a shot at those titles.
