The decision of Teofimo Lopez to fight a division above the usual weight in his career surprised everyone, not because there is any doubt of his ability to perform at a higher weight, but because of the fact that his last fight marked the first defeat of his professional career losing to Australian George Kambosos in November last month, which saw him surrender the IBF, WBA and WBO lightweight belts.
A little more than eight months have passed since that defeat, so Lopez has had plenty of time to prepare for this fight.In recent interviews, he indicated that he has altered his training routine in order to perform at his peak for the bout, which will be required if he is to preserve his status as a rising star in the world of boxing.
Pedro Campa
- Odds: +1100
- Total fights: 36
- Wins: 34 (23 by KO)
- Defeats: 1

Pedro Campa has a height advantage over his opponent, being five centimeters taller than Lopez, but it will be up to the Mexican to make this count.
Campa has fought for his entire career at super lightweight, and doubles the number of victories obtained by his opponent so far. However, bookies do not rank him as a favorite for good reason: none of his opponents in his history have reached Lopez’s level.
However, having won three of his last four fights by technical knockout has him stepping into the ring with confidence as he looks to pull off the upset and make his name even more respected in the division.
JefeBet Prediction
Lopez’s loss in his previous bout was unexpected, and he will undoubtedly enter the ring determined to prove that it was only a glitch in his career.
Since his last loss, Campa has had a record of seven wins and one draw, but like many pundits and the bookmakers, we think he could be in for a bad night despite being more accustomed to fighting at super lightweight.
We are confident that Teofimo Lopez can take the win in this fight.
