In a recent statement following a training session in Las Vegas, Lopez declared, "There will definitely be a knockout. It’s not going the distance. I’m not going to leave it in the judges' hands at all. So, everyone tune in, and get your popcorn ready."
Lopez highlighted the significant changes in his training regimen, emphasizing his commitment to staying in the gym since August of the previous year. He expressed confidence in his improved speed, strength, and boxing IQ, setting the stage for an explosive performance.
As the date approaches, fight fans can expect fireworks in the ring as Teofimo Lopez looks to solidify his status in the junior welterweight division with a knockout victory over Jamaine Ortiz.
