Teofimo Lopez Wins Unified Super Lightweight Title
Lopez Defeats Taylor by Unanimous Decision
Former Lightweight Champion Returns to Glory
In a stunning upset, Teofimo Lopez has defeated previously undefeated Josh Taylor to claim the WBO and The Ring super lightweight titles. The fight, which took place in Glasgow, Scotland, saw Lopez dominate Taylor throughout the 12-round contest. Lopez's superior speed and power proved to be too much for Taylor, who was making his first defense of his newly won titles.
Lopez, who was a heavy underdog coming into the fight, put on a masterful performance. He controlled the pace of the fight from the opening bell, and never allowed Taylor to get into a rhythm. Lopez landed the cleaner and harder punches throughout the contest, and Taylor's face showed the effects of Lopez's power as the fight wore on.
The judges scored the fight 119-108, 118-110, and 117-111, all in favor of Lopez. The victory marks a remarkable comeback for Lopez, who lost his lightweight titles to George Kambosos Jr. last year. Lopez has now won two consecutive fights at super lightweight, and he looks poised to make a run at becoming a champion in a third weight class.
