WATCH: Teofimo Lopez Stuns Vasiliy Lomachenko With Decision Win
The big title unification bout between Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez is over.
On October 17, Lomachenko and Lopez collided inside the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, The WBA (Super), WBC (Franchise), IBF, and WBO Championships were on the line. This was widely considered to be the most highly-anticipated boxing match of 2020.
Lomachenko and Lopez went the distance. For the first few rounds, it was clear that Lopez was ahead on the scorecards due to “Loma’s” lack of offense. Lomachenko got going and made things interesting from the seventh round on. Lopez closed the show with a strong 12th round.
In the end, all three judges scored the fight for Lopez and now he holds four major world titles in the lightweight division. The score totals were 116-112, 119-109, 117-111.
Here are highlights of Lopez’s victory over Lomachenko.
