Teofimo Outworked Lomachenko By Wide Margin, 659 To 321

By Kenneth Friedman: Using constant pressure and hard power shots, Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) outworked the older fighter Vasily Lomachenko (14-2, 10 KOs) to beat him by a 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night in their lightweight championship contest in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fighting in front of a small crowd of guests, Lopez hurt Lomachenko in rounds 10 and 12 with hard shots and outthrew him to get the win in ‘The Bubble’ at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Lopez, 23, came into the fight as the IBF lightweight champion, and he came away with an additional three straps, winning the WBA, WBC, and WBO belts from Lomachenko.
