Teofimo Lopez heavy favourite against Pedro Campa
While Lopez was a heavy favorite in his last outing against George Kambosos Jr., the decision didn’t go in his favor. Since then, Lopez has been trying to get back to winning ways and is extremely motivated to make a comeback.
However, given the gritty Mexican’s track record and durability, he could prove to be a difficult test for ‘The Takeover.’
