The Teofimo Lopez vs. Pedro Campa fight on August 13, 2022, is just a few days away from starting at Resorts World Las Vegas in Nevada, where both boxers will measure strength, although without a title in between.
Beyond the fact that both boxers do not fight more than for honor, surely Teofimo Lopez will want to prove himself since he will be fighting for the first time in a higher division than what he has been used to in his career; with this being his first fight in welterweight, and it won't be easy considering it will be against an opponent with a good record in the division.
If you're interested in this matchup, stay with us at JefeBet as we break down both fighters and the odds for the event and give a prediction of what could happen once the bell rings.
Teófimo López's decision to fight a division above his average career weight surprised everyone, not because there is any doubt about his ability to perform at a higher weight, but because his last fight marked the first loss of his professional career by losing to Australian George Kambosos in November of the previous month, which saw him hand over the IBF, WBA, and WBO lightweight belts.
It's been over eight months since that loss, so Lopez has had plenty of time to prepare for this fight. In recent interviews, he's commented that he's changed his training routine to get 100% into the war, which will be necessary if he wants to maintain his label as a rising star in boxing.
