Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr. Predictions

Lopez is the hot betting favorite, and it’s easy to see why traders are keen to keep on the right side of him. The New York-born fighter now based in Arkansas brings a stunning professional record detailing 16 wins from as many fights with a dozen knockouts already on his card. He was last seen beating pound-for-pound great Vasyl Lomachenko at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, last year, winning that bout on points. Despite entering as the underdog with Loma priced like losing wasn’t an option, it was Lopez who had his hand raised at the end of the bout, and it was a convincing score.

Kombosos is also an undefeated fighter with a 19-0-0 record, 10 of those wins coming by knockout. The Australian fighting out of Sydney shot to fame with a pair of split decision wins over Mickey Bey at this venue two years ago before going on to cause a major upset when beating former world champion Lee Selby over 12 rounds at Wembley. The Welshman was favorite to win that fight before a British audience, but George got the nod.

Both fighters have the power to hurt each other and win the belts by knockout, but their recent form suggests this one will go to the scorecards. It’s unlikely Kambosos would get the decision in New York unless he was miles clear on the scorecards. Back Lopez to win on points at a decent price.
