Teofimo Lopez on his knockout win against Pedro Campa
Teofimo Lopez continued by explaining how he wasn’t looking for the knockout against Campa. Instead, he was working on a variety of skills and managed to hurt his opponent naturally. He added:
Lopez suffered a shock defeat to George Kambosos Jr. back in November 2021. Despite being the strong favourite, ‘The Takeover’ was outworked and lost a 12-round split decision. The American was relieved of the IBF, WBO and WBA Lightweight Championships that he won off Vasyl Lomachenko in 2020.
