Teofimo Lopez v George Kambosos Jr. 27/11/2021

[mikeeod]

Kambosas will be trouble for Teo. Teo isn’t his best tonight and is fighting sloppy and with too much emotion. I think this will be an upset.

[palmerq]

Ha wild start, looks to me like Lopez is a class above though, once he calms down he'll win easy

[Spicoli]

Real nice scrap here into 3rd. Kambosos starting to collect Teo punches in 3rd though. physically may start seperating for Teo. Dazn is lagging big time here makes scoring bit pointless. Fun fight

[armin]

22 after 4 not sure why Lopez sr telling teo he won that

[Spicoli]

All I know is Teo needs to leave the name of Josh Taylor and top 140 guys out of his mouth . Concentrate on the full plate in front of you. Goes for a lot of young pre anointed fellas today. Kambosos showing him major holes in his defense

[Spicoli]

Oh as clean as it gets Kambosos with the head jarring jab straight right on him. Teo has but 1 single gear here. Love the way this is unwinding in 7th

[armin]

This is nuts I got it kambosos 5 2 and not necessarily close busier and cleaner work kambosos

[Spicoli]

Simply put this is pretty awesome . Kambosos is taking it better than Teo. Has the herky jerky jagged punching style down. Gave him last 4 into 9th

[ruthless rocco]

I’m a fan of Lopez, but after that first round, I’m rooting for Kambosos.
Lopez looking the fool!!!

[mikeeod]

Teo is starting to break mentally. He did this vs Loma once Loma started putting his punches together and letting his hands go. I have Kambosas winning comfortably- Teo needs something big.

[armin]

6 3 after 9 teo took it with the big flurry

[mikeeod]

I feel like Kambosas is pulling ahead after four. He looked solid at the end of the fourth and Teo looked uncomfortable to me. Starting to get discouraged and maybe a little tired.

[armin]

Kambosos up 32 but 2 pts with the kd

[TitoFan]

Kambosas will be trouble for Teo. Teo isn’t his best tonight and is fighting sloppy and with too much emotion. I think this will be an upset.

Most accurate prediction "early-fight." Didn't catch it live... but watched significant amount on highlights.

I wouldn't mind a rematch.

CARD TRICK Bizarre Lopez v Kambosos Jr scorecard revealed as one judge causes shock split decision despite clear winner in New York

GEORGE KAMBOSOS JR dominated Teofimo Lopez in their world lightweight fight but somehow only won on a split decision.

The Australian star won on judges scores of of 115-111, 113-114 and 115-112 in New York to become the new WBA, WBO, IBF and Ring champion.

Fighting in his first world title contest, the 28-year-old floored Lopez in the opening round, before being dropped himself in the tenth round.

But the Sydney native bossed the majority of the bout as he kept his 24-year-old opponent at bay with his jab for large periods at time.

And it came to a surprise to most people when it was announced that a third judge was needed to decide the winner of the dust-up.

Judge Don Trella somehow scored the fight in favour of Lopez by one round, while Frank Lombardi and Glenn Feldman had Kambosos Jr four and three rounds up respectively.

What is even more baffling is that Trella scored the first round 10-9 for Kambosos Jr, despite him sending Lopez crashing to the canvas.

Feldman also had it 10-9 for the challenger in round one with the pair believing that Lopez wasn't outclassed in the first three minutes.

Trella also awarded the tenth round 10-8 in Lopez's favour after the American scored a knockdown of his own.

All three judges agreed that Kambosos Jr won the first half of the fight, with Lopez nicking late rounds as the former tired.

To the amazement of the boxing world, Lopez declared that he should have had his hand raised as the winner.

LOPEZ SHOCK COMMENTS
He even stated that he won 10-2 on rounds, though insisted that he isn't a 'sore loser'.

Lopez said: "He’s a hell of a fighter, but I won tonight, everybody knows that.

“The referee raised my hand. I won tonight, I don't care what anybody says. I want to thank everybody that came out tonight, look, I ain’t no sore loser, I take my wins like I take my losses.

“At the end of the day I’m a true champion, I did what I had to do, and I went out there and did my best.

"I don’t care what anybody says, I am as real as they come, and this is the takeover man, we don’t stop, we keep coming."

Before adding: "At the end of the night, I scored it 11-2 -10-2."
